REGENCY BILL.

On the motion of Lott' J. RUSSELL, the Regency
1111 went through Committee, and was ordered to he
read a third time to•morrow.
EAST INDIA SHIPPING BILL.

On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the E
India Shipping Bill was read a third time and passed.

On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the Metro-
politan Police Courts Bill was read a third time and
passed..

RAILWAYS BILL.
Lord SEYMOUR moved the third reading of the
Railways Bill.

Lord G. SOMERSET did not rise for the purpose
of opposing the third reading of the Bill, but he
wished to call to the recollection of the Right Ho-
nourable Gentleman the President of the Board of
Trade the conversation which took place with
respect to the appointment of inspectors. He
understood that one Gentleman was anxious to be ap-
pointed Inspector ; now, he for one must dissent from
any appointment, whether of o'ne or more Inspectors,
unless the individuals appointed were unconnected
with any of the existing lines. He trusted the Right
Hon. Gentleman, before the Bill passed, would state
to the House the course he intended to adopt.
Mr. L ABOUCHERE said there was not only one
.but several Gentlemen who had expressed their anxiety
to be appointed inspectors.—(Laughter.) He must de-
cline, however, to give the Noble Lord any distinct
pledge, one way or the other, as to the course he in-
tended to pursue. He reserved to himself the right to
fix upon the course he should think proper to adopt to
carry the Bill out effectually until after it had pssed.
He must decline to state whether he thought it
would be advisable to appoint one or more
inspectors ; but this much he would state
that he should certainly think it objectionable to appoint
any person who at the time was connected with any

JOHN THOROGOOD.

Lord MORPETH, in the absence of Lord J. Rus-
sell, moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the
Act for the Better Regulation of Ecclesiastical Courts
in England. The Act was only intended for one object,
which was to enable the Court which committed Mr.
Thorogood to discharge him with the consent of the
parties at whose complaint be was committed.
After a few observations from Dr. NICHOLL,

Mr. H. VERNON said he thought it was compe-
tent for the Judge of the Ecclesiastical Court to order
the discharge of a person in contempt, for not obeying
its monition, without the present Act.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said they had been
told by the Learned Judge himself that he had no
power, and that therefore the Act became necessary.
After a few observations from Mr. EASTH OPE,
leave was given to bring in the Bill.
Dr. NICHOLL obtained leave to bring in a Bill to
alter and amend the law regarding process upon con-
tempts in the Courts Ecclesiastical in England and Ire-
land, and to facilitate the discharge of persons who now
are, or hereafter may be, in custody for contempt of
any of such Courts.
On the motion of Sir C. DOUGLAS, returns
of wheat sold in Mark-lane since the Ist day of May
to the 24th of July inclusive, and similar returns from
Liverpool for the same period, were agreed to.
Lord MORPETH obtained leave to briug in a 13111
to amend an Act of the second and third years of the
reign of her present Majesty, intituled, " An Act to
make further provisions relating to the Police in the dis-
trict of Dublin Metropolis."
These several Bills having been brought in, and the
other Orders of the Day disposed of, the House ad-
journed at Half-past Ten o'Clock.

Dentists, 21, Fleet-street, beg to call public attention te their
new and beautiful EVERLASTING TEETH, the most clean
and wholesome that can be worn : they are so exactly formed
to nature, both in shape and colour, that the closest observer
cannot detect the difference, with this advantage—they never
change colour. decay,,or wear out ; and a complete set, on fine
gold, for which they will only charge 15 to 18 guineas, will last
for 20 years or upwards, and are far superior to those usually
charged 30 and 40 guineas. 'A single tooth, one guinea ; three
ditto, two guineas and a half. Natural teeth supplied from 51.
per set, or 10s. per tooth. Messrs. Browne apd Cartwright's
method of fitting neither requires the extraction of stumps nor
gives the slightest pain,. and having had upwards of 20 years'
experience in the profession, can guarantee to restore perfect
mastication and articulation, having succeeded in thousands of
eases, in hundreds of which other dentists had entirely failed.
The above are totally different from the brittle glossy French
teeth, usually supplied by dentists as newly-discurcred mineral,
&c. A visit will convince the most seer ical of the fact.

PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH.

The Church, excellently described by bishops, curates,
and the people committed to their charge.
By curates here are not meant stipendiaries, as now it is
used to signify, but to all those whether parsons or vicars,
to whom the bishop, who is the chief pastor under Christ,
'lath committed the cure of souls of some part of his flock,
and so are the bishop's curates. The bishop wilt these
curates, a flock or congregation committed to their
charge, make up a Church. For according to our Sa-
viour's definition, a church is a shepherd, and his
sheep that will heed his voice ; to which St.
Cyprian's description agrees, Ep. lxix. Eli stint
Ecdesia, plebs Sacerdoti adunata, et pastori suo grew
aalterens. " The Church is a congregation of believers
united to their bishop, and a flock adhering to their
shepherd ;" whence you ought to know, says he, that " the
Church is in the bishop, and the bishop in the Church ;
and they that arc not with the bishop are not in the
Church.
Now, because the bishops are guides and governors of
the Church, so all acts of the Church arc ordered and di-
rected by them, as the same Cyprian says : therefore, the
custom of the Church always was, and not without reason,
to pray particularly, by name, fur the bishop, as they did
for the King. The preface to this prayer is suitable—
" Almighty God, which workest great marvels, send down
upon Thy Church, bishops, curates, and the congrega-
tions committed to their charge, the healthful spirit of thy
Grace."

vaeans the various troops may be accustomed to act

intelligence received from Egypt respecting Admiral
Stopford's alleged disapproval of the Convention agreed
upon between Commodore Napier and Mehemet Ali ;
this, in conjunction with the account of the 11.1 t
state of things on the Paris Bourse, and the appre-
hended changes in the French Cabinet, having led to a
fall in Consols from 88* (the quotation at which they
closed on Saturday evening) to 878. It is stated in
some quarters that there were parties selling Consols
again, with the view of investing the proceeds in Tri-
nity Bonds.
This afternoon the funds got up again ; the adhesion
of the Pacha of Egypt to the terms proposed by Ad-
miral Stopford having become known_ Consols gra-
dually rose to BSi to 881, and closed at 881 sellers,

DESTRUCTION OF THE RUSSIAN

EXPEDITION.

The disastrous intelligence has been received
this morning that the Russian Expedition against
Khiva has been destroyed, partly by snow-storms,
and partly by the enemy. This news is exceedingly
probable, though up to the hour at which we write
(three o'clock, P. m.) we believe no official account
of the affair has been received by the Government.
The news, as it reached us, will be found in our
city article.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 1
Sir—l 'awe great pleasure in stating that a meeting
was held to-day in our Guildhall, convened by a requisi- i
Lion signed by nearly 100 operatives, at which a petition ‘
for the total repeal of the accursed Corn Laws was Lula- I
nimously adopted, Nearly the whale of the speakers were
working men, and there was not the slightest attempt to (
create a division either in favour of the Tories or thn
Chartists, as has been too often the case at Anti-Cora-
law meetings. Though the meeting was held in the mid-
dle of the day, and at a time when most working men
are anxiously looking forward to Saturday night, a grcat
number were 'present, taking the greatest interest in, and
paying the greatest attention to, the proceedings. The
chair was occupied by an operative named John Richard-
son. Trusting the example of the working men of Wor-
cester may be followed all through the country,

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Bellini's serious opera Beatrice di Tenda, the second new
opera of the season, was presented on Saturday evening. The
following is the cast :—Philip Maria Visconti, Duke of 111113,!1,
Signor Coletti ; Beatrice Tenda, his consort, Mad. Persians.;
Agnese del Maino, Madlle. De Varney ; Orombello, Signor
Ricciardi ; Anichino, Signor A. Giubilei. The scene is in the
Castle of Bianco ; time, in 1418. Philip, Duke of you
ltn, •
unhappy with his consort, Beatrice Tenda, cherishes a gy
passion for Agnese. She, in her turn, loves Philip. Beatrice,
jealous and enraged at the conduct of Philip, and, probably to
be even with him, encourages the advances of Orombello,
Signor of Ventimiglia. Agnese, to gratify her revenge, puts
certain fabricated proofs of Beatrice's guilt into the posses-
sion of Philip. She is summoned before the Judges, pro-
nounced guilty of infidelity to the Duke, and ordered to be
decapitated. Beatrice is led forth to execution ; the henheman, with his axe, appears ready to inflict the blow, w
Agnese rushes in and confesses her guilt. The curtain
fails. The great character in the opera is Beatrice,
and Persiani gave the music with matchless grace and
finish. The scena between her and Philip, where he pro-
duces the papers already alluded to, as proofs of her infidelity
and rebellion, commencing with the words, " Questi d'amanti
popoli," was exceedingly clever. Of quite a different descrip-
tion of music is the last scena, when led to execution Beatrice
encounters Agnese. The whole of this, but especially the por-
tion beginning, " Ah ! la morte a cui m'appresso " was on e
continued outpouring of deep and impassioned feeling. Per
siani was in excellent voice The part of Philip is the next in
importance. and Coletti, by the able manner in which he sang
and acted in this new character, must have dissipated all regret
or the absence of Tamburini, if indeed his fine personation Of
f r orquato Tasso were not sufficiext for that purpose. Coletti
well supported Persiani. His noble and manly tones, when he
denounced Beatrice for her rebellion—" Qui di ribelli sudditi"
electrified the house. Of Mademoiselle Varney we ought to
have before spoken. Though not a prima donna assoluto, in"
deed not pretending to such an eminence, this young lady
well
prove invaluable in secondary parts. The ballet of La l'aren-
tule followed the opera. Fanny Eisler delighted every eye by
the exquisite grace of her (lancing : she was enthusiastically ap-
plauded. Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert and suite, the
Queen Dowager and suite, the Duchess of Cambridge, and
Princess Augusta, with a long list of noble families, were pre-
sent, and remained to the close. The house was crammed.
