One half the world are desolately single, and the other
"imposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, sr a
ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes eni-
e:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
eomprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
Ind broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
,tncl social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

suance of an Act of the 10th and 11th Victoria, that
until a permanent house of residence shall be provided

withi❑ the said diocese shall be provided for the Bishop,
at a rate not exceeding 400/. by the year, and that the

of the cathedral church and chapter of Manchester.
NEW ZEALAND.

It is enacted by her Majesty the Queen, in accord-
ance with powers granted to her by an Act of the 9th
and 11th of her reign, that in lieu of the enactments of
the 22d section of the said Act, "it shall be competent
for the Governor or Lieutenant Governor of New lea •
land, with the advice of his executive council, to deter-
mine the size of rural allotments, and that no part of the
demesne of the Crown in New Zealand shall be alienated
in perpetuity or otherwise, either absolutely or condi-
tionally, until after the same shall first have been put
up to sale at a public auction. And it shall be competent
to such Governor or Lieutenant• Governor, with such
advice as aforesaid, to fix the time at which any such
auction shall take place, provided that notice of such auc-
tion shall be given by such proclamation as aforesaid,
not more than three months, nor less than one month

come, without any further auction, the purchaser of any

by offering and paying for the same the upset price at
which the same may have been put up to sale. Pro-
vided always, that it shall be competent fur such Go-

advice as aforesaid, instead of permitting such lands to
be so purchased by any person applying for them as
aforesaid, to put up the same again to auction, giving
such notice thereof as is hereinbefore provided."

IMPERIAL PAaLIAMENT.

ROUSE 05 LURISS, Feb. 6.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at Five ci"c'ock.
LAW IDF MA.RRIAGE IN SCOTLAND.
Lord CAM:PBELL laid upon the table two Bills, one
for amending the law of marrirge in Scotland, and the
other fur es' stblishing a registration of births, deaths,
and marriag•es in Scotland. 1; would no doubt,
he said, be in the recollection of their Lord-
ships that the se two Bills passed their Lordships' House
last session, and were sent down to the other House;
but at so / ate a period as to prevent them from
being passed. A strong opinion, however, was ex-
pressed in th_eir favour, and he trusted their Lord-
ships would permit them to go through their various
stages with as much expedition as the forms of the
House would a now.

Lord BROUGHAM was exceeding,:y rejoiced to find
that these Bills had been re-iveo. They were measures
of the utmost i mportance to Scotland, and he trusted no
delay would take place in passing them through both
Houses of Parliament.

Lord CAMPBELL said he proposed to appoint the
second reading of the Bills on an early day, if their
Lordships had no objection to his doing so.
The Bills were then laid upon the table and reed a
first time.

appearance of the Imperial army in the Baranny and Tolna

two battalions of Foot, had, as before mentioned, made a
stand at Szegled. A report having reached the Field-
Marshal that the rebels meant to force th's position, he
determined to offer them battle with all his disposable
troops. In this hope the Prince was disappointed. The
enemy, as usual, would not hazard an encounter ;

ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS.

Mr. lIORSMAN inquired if the Government had any
mepsure with the vie-a- of altering (as we understood)
the composition of the Ecclesiastical Commission ; also,
whether the Government was prepared to introduce any
measure for the union of the episcopal and common
funds, in order to render them more efficieat for the
promotion of spiritual education ?
Lord J. RUSSELL replied that it was intended to
prop-se a Bill in the present session with respect to the
composition of
the Ecclesiastical Commission, partly in
conformity with the report of the Committee of last
session and the views of the Government. The Go—
vernment had decided on ictroducing a measure in tlie,
course of the present session with respect to the union
of the episcopal and common funds. He could not, how.
ever, state when the last measure would be Introduced.
THE VERNO..O GALLERY.

Mr. HUME wished to ask the First Lord of the
Treasury whether any steps had been taken, as recom-
mended by the Select Committee of the House of Com-
mons of the last session, to provide a proper situation is
the National Gallery for the reception of the valuable
and noble collection of paintings presented to the nation
by Mr. Vernon.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied that the Go►ernment
were not prepared to propose at present any expendi-
' ture of the public money on the gallery in question
beyond what had been expended in providing the exist•
ing temporary accommodation.
Mr. HUME referred the Noble Lord to the report of
Committee of the House upon the subject.

DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE LEGISLA-
TIVE COUNCIL AND THE SUPREME COURT
OF VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.

Mr. ANSTEY wished to ask whether the Govern-
ment had any objection to lay upon the table of the
House copies of the several papers which had passed
between the Home Government and the authorities of Van
Diemen's Land respecting the dispute which had arisen
between the Legislative Council and the Supreme Court
of that colony; copies of all correspondence (not al-
ready laid before this House) between her Majesty's
principal Secretary of State for the Colonies and the
Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land, respecting
the taxation ordinances passed by the Legislative Coun-
cil of tnat colony, which were recently declared by the
Supreme Court of the colony to be illegal; or respect-
ing the removal of Judge Montage, or of any ordinance
subsequently passed by that Council for giving validity
to any suoh taxation ordinances.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not feel disposed to gips
those papers.
Mr. ANSTEY then would give notice that-on the

presented to her Majesty respecting tho illegal ordi-
nances which had been passed by the Council in Van

PRUSSIA.

The German Reform says--" The eight corps of
the Prussian army are completely organized, so that
Prussia has at this moment on foot 380,000 men, of
whom 40,000 are cavalry; she has also 400 pieces of
cannon. Two-thirds of the artillery are mounted on
improved carriages, the rapidity in the movements of
which has been established by trials. In a late
manceuvre pieces of 12 were removed with the same
rapidity as those of 6, and made a German mile
(equal to four English miles) in 36 minutes.
General HERSCHFELD has issued the following
general order :

" Coblentz, May 26.
" On the 18th instant an insolent rabble broke into
the Land wher armoury at Prum, and, under pretence of
serving German unity, not only stole 206 firelocks and
107 pistols, but several suits of clothing. The com-
pany of Landwher belonging to Prum, when called out
to defend its depot, disobeyed, and, with few excep •
tions, not only most cowardly shrunk from assisting
their officers, but traitorously opened the doors to the
robber rabble. Soldiers of the Line and Landwehr,
you will look upon this disgraceful and base act
(niedertrachtig) in the same light as I do. Public satis-
faction is due to your just indignation. I, therefore,
shall rem

commeticcd, shall be continued with unfliriching severity.
It will mete out recompense to the guilty and to the

be marched to a fortress, but without arms, which they
know not how to carry with honour, or to defend, and
of which they have renderel themselves unworthy.

FRANCE.

The service for the repose of the soul of the Em-
press Josephine, in the Church of Bueil, was cele-
brated yesterday, as in former years. The village
was filled at an early hour by people flowing
in every minute from Paris and all the sur-
rounding country. The church was soon completely
crowded. In the nave were ranged the National
Guard of Rueil and a battalion of the 21 Regi-
ment of Line, and in the two side aisles the bands
of the two corps played alternately pieces of sacred
music appropriate to the occasion. In the choir
and the chapels at each side of it were a number
of persons known for their attachment to the
deceased, the Emperor Napoleon and their
families. Among them were the orderly officers
of the President of the Republic ; the son of General
Lepic, of the Old Guard, M. Laity, author of the
pamphlet condemned by the Chamber of Peers. Dr.
Cunneau, the companion in exile of Louis Napoleon, the
Prefect ofthe Seine- et-Oise,manyold soldiers ofthe Em-
pire, and persons who had been in the households of the
Emperor and Empress and Queen Hortense, and with
them Archambault who received the last sigh of the
Emperor at St. Helena. The President of the Re-
public was expected, but was prevented from attend-
ing, as it is said, by affairs of state ; but he sent
several of his carriages. He, however, had gone on
the preceding evening to pray at the tom!) of the
Empress.

THE INSURRECTION IN BADEN.

The revolutionary Gazette of the Baden insur-
rection publishes a manifesto of the Commander of
the insurgent forces, Lieutenant Siegel, in which he
sets forth the reasons which lead him to prepare to
attack the Electorate of Hessen. A collision of the
insurgents with the troops of Prussia and of the Em-
pire is daily 'expected.

SECOND GRAND FLOWER SHOW of the Season on TUESDAY
WEEK, June 12.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The Presse of Vienna states, on the authority of a
letter from St. Petersburgh, that the Russian Minister
of Finance has requested the house of ROTHSCHILD
to raise a loan of 30,000,000 silver roubles.
A letter from Vienna of the 31st ult. states that
preparations were being made at the Imperial Palace
for the reception of the Emperor of RUSSIA.
Some of the Vienna journals of the 31st ult. state
that the Hungarians have emissaries in several Aus-
trian provinces, ready at a proper opportunity to
cause a republican movement. Several districts in
Moravia have been declared in a state of siege.
The Magyar Government has established revolu-
tionary commissaries, with full powers, in the comi-
tats threatened by the enemy. In the districts dis-
tant from the seat of war regular tribunals and admi-
nistrative institutions are being organised. The
clergy of the different creeds are every where preach-
ing a crusade against the Russians.
From the seat of war in the west the rumour which
prevailed on the 81st tilt. of a battle at Trentschin
has been confirmed. The Austrian troops engaged
consisted of the corps of VOGEL and the brigade of
BENEDEK ; while the Hungarian forces were the ad-
vanced guard under General DANNENDERG. The
Austrians were put to flight, and were pursued down
the Waag-thal by the Hungarian hussars, who made
fearful havoc among the fugitives. A battle is also
reported to have taken place at Raab.
BEM has reached Orsowa, and issued a proclamation
to the Servians.
The news, therefore, that the
Russians had reached Orsowa on the 14th is, as we
surmised, untrue.
The news is confirmed that a large part of the
Russian troops in Wallachia and Moldavia had re-
tired across the Pruth. The Vienna press, not
knowing what to make of this backward move of the
great ally, ascribes it one while to a protest of the
Porte, another to an energetic note from England or
France.

A rumour prevailed that the Russi2ns htd been
defeatei by DEMBINSKI at Jordanow. It was added
that tha routed army lost all their baggage.
TI e cholera makes daily greater ravages amcng the
Austrian troops in Hungary. It bas broken out at
Erlau.

On the 17th ult., two Sardinian delegates Were pre-
sented to KOSSUTH at Debreczin. These had indeed
no official character, but were commissioned by their
Government to pave the way to an alliance and com-
mercial connexion between the two countries. They
pointed out especially
how useful the Sardinian fleet
might prove to the Hungarians on the Adriatic, if

CLONMEL SCHOOL.

On the motion of the Lord Bishop of DUBLIN, the
special report of the Education Commissioners relative to
the endowed school of Clonmel was ordered to be laid on
the table after Lord Monteagle had explained that the
Education Commissioners and the Commission for Na-
tional Education were two distinct bodies. The report
was an answer to some charge which had been brought
against the Commissioners.
