CANADA.

Mr. GLADSTONE gave notice for a future evening,
that on going into Committee of Supply he should call
the attention of the Houie to the recent Act to provide
compensation for rebellion losses in Canada.
COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.

The Marquis of G%ANBY wished to ask the Lord
Advocate.whether it was his intention to embrace, in his
Medical Bill, or by any other means, to make an altera•
tion in the existing charter of the Royal College of Sur-
geons of England, as well as of the Royal College of
Phyik.dana of London, by which the grievances that the
great body of its members have complained of, and pe-
titioned against, shall be redressed?

The LO.RD A DVO(/ATE said it was not intended
to propose any alteration of the R)yal College of Sur-
geons, but it would be neeesiary to make an alteratio❑
in the charter of the Royal College of Physicians, which
would be embediel in the Bill.

ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.
Mr. HORS MAN said, perhaps the Noble Lord at the
head of the Gs)vernment could now explain the course
ho intended to pursue with reference to the Ecclesias-
tical Commission Bill, and the Bishopswcarmouth rec-
tory.

Lord J. RUSSELL said, with respect to the Eccle•
siastical Commission Bill, he proposed on Friday to
ask the House to go into Committee pro forma, and
then to introduce an amended Bill to meet the
views of parties who had objected to portions of the
present measure. With regard to the second question,
the draft of a Bill on the subject was now before the
Law Officers of the Crown, and he expected to be able to
introduce it in a few days.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Official Gazelle of the 30th ult.
publishes a new electoral law fur Prussia. The fol-
lowing are its principal provisions :
" Sec. 1. The representatives of the two Chambers
will be elected by direct electors, in direct circles (wahl
begirken), and the direct by indirect electors (urwaltlern)
in circles for indirect election.
" Secs. 5,6, 7. A wahlmann will be elected for each
250 souls, and when parishes do not contai❑ the requi-
site number, two or more will be united to complete the
miuireum amount of 750 souls. The circles are then to
be divided into thirds, each of which will elect one
wahlmann or direct elector.

" Sues. 8, 9. All independent Prussians not deprived
of rights of citizenship by legal sentence, and who may
have resided six months in any given parish, are enti-
to vote as urwahler (indirect elector), providing he be
not in the receipt of public charitable relief. The
standing army and land wehr shall vote wherever they
be quartered, without regard to duration of sojourn.
They will also be collected, if possible, in circles of 750.
"Sec. 10. The urwiihlur will bo divided into three
classes, according to the amount of direct taxes paid by
each, so that a third of the collective sum of direct
taxes will be apportioned to each class. This collec-
tive sum will be calculated according to parishes, when
they constitute an electoral circle, or according to dis-
tricts where the electoral circle is composed of several
parishes united. In case of individuals paying no direct
Government tax, they may be rated according to the
amount of direct parish contributions.
"Sec. 12. The three sections will consist of-1,
Those paying the highest direct taxes; 2. Those paying
the largest quota after the former; and 3. Those paying
the smallest sum. To this latter class will belong all
those who do not pay direct taxes—that is, those who
are entitled to vote by paying parish or provincial rates.
"Sec. 18. Electors enjoy their la iviliges during the
whole duration of the legislative period for which repre-
sentatives are elected.

" Sec. 29. All Prussians are eligible to become re•
presentatives who have completed their thirtieth year,
have not been deprived of rights of citizenship by legal
sentence, and who have lived one year within the Pi us-
sian territory.
" Sec. 31. When a representative is elected he must
declare whether he accepts or not, at once and without
reserve. Conditional acceptance is not permitted. The
total number of deputies to ba elected amounts to 320.
The elections for direct electors are to take place on the
17th of July. The Chambers are to meet upon the 7th
of August."
During the course of the Whitsun holidays there
were several disturbances in the neighbourhood of
Berlin; the unarmed citizens were, in many instances,
attacked by the drunken soldiery with their side-
arms, and many of them were killed.

ARTS AND SCIENCES.

Mr. EWART, adverting to a grant made last year,
and proposed to be renewed this year, for general edu-
cational purposes connected with the arts and sciences,
trusted some viva voce statement would be made by the
Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department as to
the manner in which the money had been appropriated.
Sir G. GREY said the subject was more within the
province of the Board of Trade than the Home-office, but
he believed the information the Honourable Gentleman
required might be found in the blue book prepared by
the Council of Education, and laid before the House a
short time ago.

Mr. EVVAItT said it was difficult to get at informa-
tion that was buried in a blue book.—(A laugh.) What
he wished was that a statement should be made to the
House on the subject by some member of the Govern-
ment.

CEYLON.
Mr. lIUME gave notice, that on going into Committee
of Supply on Monday, he should move a resolution to the
effect that the time had arrived when the public expen-
diture of Ceylon and British Guiana ought to be reduced,
and means taken to establish efficient governments in
those colonies.

WARING V. THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LIN.
COLNSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL concluded his reply in this
case to-day, which came before the Court upon a de-
murrer put in by the defendants to the plaintiff's bill.
The plaintiff, in March, 1847, contracted with the de-
feudants to furnish the works which should be required
for a portion of their railway, near Sheffield; and by the
terms of the contract the works were to be completed on
or before the Ist October, 1848, to the satisfaction of the
company's engineer. It was also provided that time
should be of the essence of the contract, and that, on
failure by the plaintiff to complete the works at the time
specified, he should pay 1501. a day until such time as
the engineer of the company should certify that the works
were properly completed; and the company were also,
empowered, in that event, on giving fourteen days
notice to the plaintiff, to enter upon and take possession
of the works and complete them at the expense of the
plaintiff. The bill stated that as the company were un-
able to provide funds to the plaintiff for carrying on the
works at the times and in the instalments specified in the
contract, the engineer had directed the plaintiff to pro-
ceed more slowly with the works than they were re-
quired to do by the contract, and that after the plaintiff
had complied with such request, the company had never-
theless put in force the power reserved to them in the
contract to take possession of the plaintiff's works. lbe
bill prayed an injunction to restrain the defendants froul
so doing, and that they might be decreed specifically 10
perform the contract. To this bill a ueneral demurrer
was put in for want of equity.
The SOLICITOR•GENERAL and Mr. OSBORNE, for the
demurrer, contended that the relief sought was purely
legal, and that the bill did not allege that the engineer
had acted by the direction of the company.
Mr. WOOD and Mr. ERSKINE for the plaintiff argued
that the extension of the time allowed for the comple-
tion of the contract amounted to a waiver of the clause
of forfeiture.
His HoNouß, at the conclusion of the Solicitor-Gene-
ral's reply, intimated his impression to be against the
demurrer, but he would not finally decide the case till
to-morrow, in order that he might have an opportunity
of looking into the cases that had been referred to in the
course of the argument.

TAIT.

Although the " Colonial Question" in regard to
Canada is fraught with peculiar Interest; although
the "Modern Vassal" is continued; although the
"Legend of Ulster" presents a charm in its very
title ; although Donald Campbell is right welcome
when he discourses on the subject of "Highland
Tradition"—decidedlv the Most attractive paper in
the May number of Tait is the one suggested by the
"Retirement of Jenny Lind." In this agreeable
chapter the history of the Swedish night-
ingale is recounted in a very amiable spirit
and with a very winning manner. The
admirers of the glorious songstress will learn
' with pain that there is a report in circulation to the
effect that Mademoiselle Jenny Lind v.r.'s induced to
retire In consequence of the alarming state of her
health. Upon this point Tait observes that—" She
is said to be subject to nervous attacks, which affect
the head, and increase in an extraordinary degree
the action of the heart. It is added, that a sudden
access of this complaint on Tuesday, the 3d of May,
determined her to quit the stage immediately ; and
on the 10th she suddenly and unexpectedly took her
leave of the public." More agreeable to the English
I people will be the following charming
A'NE'CDOTE OF .I,ENNIC LIND.

"During her visit to Bath she happened to be walking
with a friend, in front of some almshouses, into one of
which she entered, and sat down for a moment, osten-
sibly to rest herself, but in reality to find some excuse
for doing an act of charity to the old woman who lived
in it, and whom she had seen feeble and totterino at the
door. The old woman, like the rest of her neighbours,-
was full of the Swedish Nightingale, whom she bad
heard was just then at Bath, entertaining with her voice
all those who were so happy and fortunatesaidth as to be able
to go to the theatre. 'For myself,' old. woman,
I have lived a long time in the world, and
'And would
nothing
before before I die but to hear Jenny Lind.'
make you happy?' inquired her visitor. 'lay,n. I%;ohuat it
would,' answered the old woman • I)u ' t folks such as
can't go to the play house,
and
shall never hear her.'
Don't be so sure of that,' said toile gondnatured Jenny;
'sit down, my friend, and listen;' and forthwith she sang,
with all her richest and most glorious powers, one of the
finest songs she knew. The poor old woman was beside
herself with delight, when, after concluding her song,
her kind visitor observed, Now, you hare heard Jenny
Lind.' If she had given the woman a hundred pounds
she could not have aftbrded her half so much pleasure.
It was an act of noble charity of the tenderest and most
delicate kind. Money it would have been easy for her
to give, and money, uo doubt, she did give; but to sit
down in an almshouse, and there to call up the enchant-
ments of her voice, for the amusement of an obscure
and poor oid woman, was a touching proof of goodness
of heart, winch nothing we have heard of Jenny Lind
surpasses."
The remainder of die contributions are ably written ;
and the one on the ,g Employment of Emigration" is
worthy of an attentive perusal.

TIIE SPORTING REVIEW.

The Sporting Review for June, which makes its
appearance just after Epsom and just before Ascot,
ought to be, without doubt, the most attractive num-
ber of the year. No such peculiar attractions are,
however, to be met with in the magazine now before
ui. It contains the usual quantum of light reading
and pleasant information on spurting matters, and
nothing more, save one half page on the "State of
the Odds," and a few lines of versification entitled
"Epsom Downs," which have nothing to recommend
them. The illustrations consist of an engraving of
an excellent picture of Cooper's " Within Range,'
and the "Harder Kenner' The Sporting Review
for July will, perhaps, give us some of the recent
" favouriter."

THE BELLE ASSEMBLEE.
The Belle Assembles for June has a portrait of
" Madge Wildfire :" the unnatural brilliance of the
poor maniac's eyes is well depicted, but produces a
painful effect. Elizabeth Youatt contributes one of
her graceful papers, entitled " Reminiscences of
Folkstone;" a little incident in these reminiscences
elicits from a poor man the sadly truthful exclamation,
" It's easy for the rich to bid the poor be thankful."
The third number of an interesting and instructive
series, " Tales of the Passions and Sentiments," con-
tains a very mournful story. The two mottoes at
the head of this tale—" Talent without patient dili-
gence and strong concentrative energy for its guides,
is but an ignis fatuus to lead men's; brains astray,"
and those lines of L. E. L.'s—

" I dreamed a dream that I had flung a chain
Of roses round Love. I awoke and found

I had chained Sorrow,"
foretel the ignoble character of the hero and the un-
happy history of the heroine. Mrs. Newton Cros-
land has written some beautiful and complimentary
verses to the celebrated American actress, Mrs.
Alowatt, which appear in the June number of the
Belle Assembles.
London, England, 1849-06-05

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, June 4.
CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.
Lord MONTEAGLE rose to present a petition from
the shareholders of the Caledonian Railway complaining
of the misappropriation of the funds of the company
which had been invested in speculations with other
companies by the directors. The Noble Lord inti-
mated that when the Bill for th, extension of this lino
came before their Lordships he should ask them to reject
it, as he thought their Lordships ought to express their
opinion upon the conduct of these directors.
Lord BROUGHAM quite concurred in the view taken
of this matter by his Noble Friend,
to whom the public
were much indebted for the watchfulness which ho dis-
played in respect to railway affairs. He (Lord
Brougham) had been taunted for not bringing in a mea-
sure on the subject of railway audit of accounts; but ho
did not do so. He did not wish to take the matter out
of the hands of his Noble Friend, who was so well able
to deal with it. He should certainly assist his Noble
Friend to prevent the second reading of the Caledonian
Bill from passing their Lordships' House after the state-
ment that had been made by his Noble Frienc.i.

the ridiculous family of " the Bilberrys"—the cos-

title ; although Donald Campbell is right welcome
when he discourses on the subject of "Highland
Tradition"—decidedly the most attractive paper in
the May number'of Tait is the one suggested by the
"Retirement of Jenny Lind." In this agreeable
chapter the history of the Swedish night-
ingale is recounted in a very amiable spirit
and with a very winning manner. The
admirers of the glorious songstress will learn
with pain that there is a report in circulation to the
effect that Mademoiselle Jenny Lind was induced to
retire in consequence of the alarming state of her
health. Upon this point Tait observes that—" She
is said to be subject to nervous attacks, which affect
the head, and increase in an extraordinary degree
the action of the heart. It is added, that a sudden
access of this complaint on Tuesday, the 3d of May,
determined her to quit the stage immediately ; and
on the 10th she suddenly and unexpectedly took her
leave of the public." More agreeable to the English
people will be the following charming
ANECDOTE Of lIIENNY LIND.
_ _

"During her visit to Bath she happened to be walking
with a friend, in front of some almshouses, into one of
which she entered, and sat down for a moment, osten-
sibly to rest herself, but in reality to find some excuse
for doing an act of charity to the old woman who lived
in it, and whom she had seen feeble and tottering at the
door. The old woman, like the rest of her neighbours,
was full of the Swedish Nightingale, whom she had
heard was just then at Bath, entertaining with her voice
all those who ware so happy and fortunate as to be able
to go to the theatre. 'For myself,' said the old woman,
I have lived a long time in the world, and desire nothing
before I die but to hear Jenny Lind." And would it
make you happy?' inquired her visitor Ay,thatchas
it
would,' answered the old woman; bu.t folks such
can't go to the play-house, and so I shall never hear her.'
Don't be so sure of that,' said the goodnatured Jenny;
`sit down, my friend, and listen;' and forthwith she sang,
with all her richest and most glorious powers, one of the
finest songs she knew. Tho poor old woman was beside
herself with delight, when, after concluding her song,
her kind visitor observed, Now, you hare beard Jenny
Lind.' If she had given the woman a hundred pounds
she could not have afforded her half so much pleasure.
It was an act of noble charity of the tenderest and most
delicate kind. Money it would have been easy for her
to give, and money, no doubt, she did give; but to sit
down in an alm,house, and there to call up the enchant-
ments of her voice, for the amusement of an obscure
and poor old woman, was a touching proof of goodness
of heart, which nothing we have heard of Jenny Lind
surpasses."
Tile remainder of the contributions are ably written ;
and the one on the Employment of Emigration" is
worthy of an attentive perusal.

L.
murrer put in by the defendants to,the plaintiff's
The plaintiff, in March, 1847, centracted with th"e'd
fendarts to tut Dish the works which should be require
for a ponion of their railway, near She field; and by the
terms of the contract the works were to be completed °-
or bdbre the Ist October, 1848, to the satisfaction eflll6
company's engineer. It was also provided that Wel.
.
should be of the essence of the contract, and that, °n
.
failure by the plaintiff' to complete the works at the di%
specified, he should pay 15U1. a day until such time
the engineer of the company should certify that the 101.
were prop, rly completed; and the company were ~,
empowered, in that event, on giving fourteen darts
„
notice to the plaintiff, to enter upon and take posscsbit;l:
of the works and complete them at the expense of I"
plaintiff. The bill stated that as the company were `he
able to provide funds to the plaintiff for carrying °n
the
contract, at the times and in the instalments specified in
contract, the engineer had directed the plaintiff to Pl 9:
teed more slowly with the works than they were; ,:ff..
quired to do by the contract, and that after the pia
had complied with such request, the company had never
the:less put in force the power reserved to them inwthe
contract to take possession of the plaintiff's works.
bill prayed an injunction to restrain the defendants frTo
so doing, and that they might be decreed specificallY
perform the contract. To this bill a general deinuerer
was put in km want of equity.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. OSBORNE, for the
demurrer, contended that the relief sought was purely
legal, and that the bill did not allege that the engine'.
had acted by the direction of the company.
Mr. WOOD and Mr. ERSKINE for the plaintiff argued
that the extension of the time allowed for the codiVn;
tion of the contract amounted to a waiver of the clause
of forfeiture.

Ilis Ilerroun, at the conclusion of the Solicitor.Genhe:
ral's reply, intimated his impression to be against tell
demurrer, but he would not finally decide the case t„
to-morrow, in order that he might have an opportuol,ll
of looking into the cases that had been referred to ill tP4)
course of the argument.

[ADVERTISEAENT.]— An Awful Bad Leg, with
15 Wounds in it, Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Fxtract of a letter from Mrs. Sarah Eastment, of Haselbury,
near Crewkerne, dated April 16, 1849. To Professor Hol-
loway, Sir—About six years ago certain unfavourable symptoms
manifested themselves in my left leg, which proved to be scro-
fula and King's evil, and at one time there were 15 wounds
about my ancle. For four months I was in Cheltenham Hos-
pital, and there pronounced as incureable; from thence I went
to King's College Hospital, there also hey failed to effect a
cure, and I was obliged to return home a complete cripple;
in this state I commenced using your Ointment and Pills
which have perfectly cured my leg. Sold by all Druggists,
and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand,

SINDE.

By the Boaabay Steam Navigation Company's
steamer Victoria, which arrived on Monday morning,
we have letters and papers from Kurrachee to the 26th,
When the steamer Queen was signalled on Sunday
morning Sir C. Napier wss believed to be on board, and
the greatest excitement was expressed everywhere.
"Ohl then and there was hurrying to and fro,
The fiery squadron and the clattering car."
In fact never was such a bustle before,—every one
exclaiming, " the chief, ho comes, ho comes." Ilis own
regiment wero, as became them, in estate of pre eminent
excitement; when 10l and behold, when all wa3 ready
for the reception, there was no one to be received.
The following extract from the Kurrachee Advertiser
gives accounts of an affair betwixt the Murrees and the
Sinde Horse, followed by the usual results. Sir C.
Napier left the two fighting, and he finds them fighting;
it is but fair to add that there has been nocase of collision
since Merewether's affair—now nearly two years old:
" We learn that another gallant affair has take place
on the frontier, in which the Sinde Horse have again
distinguished themselves. Some days ago (we have not
beard the date), a detachment of the regiment above
mentioned was relieved at Kusmoro by a party from
head-quarters; hardly, ,however, had the relieved party
left when tho new detachment was. attacked by a party
of 500 armed Murrees; duffedar and four men were
killed, and several wounded. The party which bad left
heard the firing, and returned in time to succour their
comrades, who would otherwise have been either de-
stroyed, or at least have suffered great loss. The whole
affair was so sudden that the party, consisting of forty
men under a native officer, besides rescuing their com
rades, cut up about forty of the Murrees, and took up-
wards of 1,000 head of cattle, and obliged the robbers to
fly to the hills. We have not heard all the particulars of
this affair, but believe the above to be correct in the main
points. It seems strange that the Murrees were able to
plan the attack without the officer in command being
even aware of their approach; but we have no doubt
that on this an inquiry has been instituted, and explana-
' tion afforded."

Much regret was expressed that the harbour should
remain in an unfinished state, and that the enormous
sums of money expended on what the late ruler of
Young Egypt expected to be the glory of New Alex-
andria should have been sunk in vain. A very little
more would make the pier serviceable; at present it is
utterly useless.
