CRICKET.
MATcyt.—The celebrated match in honour of Mr. Felix
terminated on Wednesday evening, in favour of Pilch's eleven,
who won, after a hard contest, by 34 runs, they scoring 209
runs while their opponents scored 175. The play was ex-
cellent, and through the whole period Lord's grounds were
crowded with nobility and gentry.
TIIE OXONIANS r. ETONIANS.—This match was com-
menced on Tuesday last, in the Playing Fields at Eton Col-
lege, and was stopped, in consequence of the Oxoniaas being
obliged to return to the university, when the Etonians had
scored 107, having then four wickets to go down. The Ox-
onians had previously scored 141.

MIDDLEBURG, MAY 22,--What we learn from this and the

THE ANTICIPAThD ARRIVAL OF
IBRAHIM PACRA.
The arrival of this illustrious stranger was fully expected
yesterday afternoon at Portsmouth ; and, agreeably to the
instructions from the Government, all the necessary arrange-
ments for his Highness's reception at Mivart's Hotel were
completed by on Thursday morning,
The elegant range of rooms known as the state apart-
ments, which have been occupied by the King of the Nether.
lands, his Imperial Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of
Russia, his Imperial Highness the Grand bake Michael-1d
Russia, his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wirtem-
berg, his Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick of
Austria, and other connexions of the crowned heads. of
Europe, have, by the orders of the Earl of Aberden, been
placed at the Pacha'a disposal, besides private rooms and dar-
mitories for his distinguished attendants..
In consequence of tne anticipated arrival of his Hightiees
from Dieppe. there has been a considerable number of fool' les
at the terminus of the South-41 astern Railway at Vauxhall;
for it is arranged that immediately the French squadron
comes in sight of Portsmouth the fact shall be announced by
the electric telegraph, so that the Government may be -in
possession of the earliest intelligence. There are also ms-
sengera in waiting to convey the information to Mivart's. In
order that several carriages may be sent to the station from
that establishment.
We are given to understand that the Pacha does not con-
template a sojourn of anv duration at the Royal Dvckwaid,
as was originally. expected.
Major Dickson, of the Royal Engineers, has been selected
by the Government to attend on his Highness as Equerry
during his sejour in this country.
A laughable incident occurred at the station last evening.
It appears that the electric telegraph announced to the at-,
tendant that "The Pacha has arrived," and some excite-
ment was caused by the conveyance of the above four words,
the official at the moment thinking as well as himself that
it referred to the gallant Pacha, but the subsequent com-
munication dispelled all uncertainty, for it turned out to tie
the Pacha steamer, which had arrived in safety with her
passengers, all well.
The Earl of Aberdeen, as Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, has requested that the Pacha be received with every
distinction becoming his elevated rank and high influence
as son of the " magnifique ruler of Egypt," as our French
neighbours have called his father. There is no doubt but
that his Highness will be a
"lion " in this capital.
In the retinue of his Highness are the following ;—Soliman
(private sec
Pacha,t General Ibrahim Bey, and Captain Mustapha Effendi,
ides-de-camp to his Highness ; Colonel Bonfort, M. Carabet
Effendi
Higss. hness). About retary), and M. Joubert (interpreter to

CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.
A general court of the corporation of
the
Asylum was held on Thursday, at the hall of the ScottishCalfdonian
Hos-
pital, Crane-court, Fleet-street; J. A. Simpson
of the treasurers, took the chair. There was a' ntstfin;erooneu
attendance of governors of the institution, it being under-
stoods
that an amendment to the decision of the preceding
court was to be moved by the ministers of the Scottish
Presbytery in London in connexion with the Established
Church of Scotland, with respect to the examination and
religious superintendence of the children. The last court
decided that the Presbyterian clergy of the metropolis ge-
nerally were to be the examinators, m opposition to the
usage of a quarter of a century, during which it had been
connected with the Established Church; and upon the mo-
tion_for the confirmation of the minutes,

The G- rose, and contended that no
departure should take place from precedent and practice
without very grave and serious reasons indeed, but as none
such had been alleged, he hoped that the determination of
the previous court would be reconsidered. He strongly de-
precated the adoption by the institution of a sectarian (la.
ratter. He understood that some friends were about to
propose an intermediate course, and if upon the discussion
of the subject he should find that the feeling of the meeting
was in its favour, for the sake of peace and charity, and the
extinction of religious animosities, he would agree to it. He
moved that that portion of the minutes which had reference
to the proposed change be not confirmed.
The amendment having been seconded,
Captain CHARLES FORBES said, that with a view to the
stilling of that party spirit which had so long disturbed the
management of the charity, he should propose a motion,
which could offend neither party, and he trusted at the same
time would heal all the differences upon ecclesiastical mattirf.
He moved that the examination of the children be conducted
in future by the Government inspectors of schools, and ths4
the directors should invite such clergymen and friends as
they should deem fit.—( Hear, hear.)
The motion having been seconded a discussion ensued, in
the course of which it was intimated that the Noble Presi-
dent, his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, sanctioned the pro.
posed amicable arrangement.
The Rev. Dr. CUMMING said that upon the distinct under-
standing that ministers were to be present -as spectators or
guardians, and not as examinators, he would, with a view to
a good understanding among all parties, withdraw his oppo-
sition.

The motion of the Gallant Captain was then put from the
chair, and agreed to unanimously.
Application was made to the court for permission to sell
out 1,0001.-stock of the funded property of the charity, to
defray the extraordinary expenses occasioned by the new
buildings, and the admission of girls into the asylum.
The required permission having been granted, six boys and
four girls were elected, a rote of thanks was passed to the
Chairman, and the court broke up.

LEGAL FESTIVALS.—The annual " great grand "
meetings of the societies of the Inner and Middle Temple
have taken place. That of the latter society was held on
Thursday, when the benchers and several of the judges. mem-
bers of the society, mustered in strong forces, and partook of
a grand entertainment in the Hall, which, as usual on extra
occasions, was densely thronged by members of the bar, and
" commoners" of the society, who, as accustomed at the annual
great grand banquet, did honour upon the occasion to the
Queen, in extra allowances .of old port. The Judges, of
whom there were present the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice
Erle, &c., were warmly greeted on their departure. Of the
members present, there were the treasurer, Biggs Andrews,
Esq., ; Dr. Robinson, Master of the Temple ; J. Jervis, Esq.,
M.P. ; and Messrs. Knowles, Cockburn, Balguy, Martin,
Whitehouse, Bethel, Sir It. Comyn, Sir William Owen, and
many other learned gentlemen. On the 3d inst., the periodic
great grand dinner of the Benchers of the Inner Temple took
place in the Hall of that society, and was attended by moat
of the Judges, of whom there were present the Lord Chief
Baron, Sir F. Pollock, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson,
Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice Wiglitman, Mr. Justice
Erle, Mr. Justice Creswell, Mr. Baron Platt, the Master of
the Rolls, &c., &c.

HEROIC CONDUCT.—Thursday afternoon an accident
occurred at Dyer's Wharf; which, but for the heroic conduct
of a spectator, would have been attended with the loss of
human life. A boy of about twelve years of age, fell from a
lighter, and had gone down two or three times, when George
Latham, a man of about 50 years of age, seeing the youth's
danger, promptly took off his coat and plunged into the
river. This gallant effort, we rejoice to add, was successful,
though made at the imminent peril of Lathars's own
life, The present, we understand, is the third instance of
this individual's having been the means of saving a fellow-
creature from a watery grave.
NICASE or STABBING.—On Thursday afternoon, about
three o'clock, a young man named John Burrows, a bell-
hanger, of No. 7, Holborn-buildings, Holborn, was brought
into St. Bartholomew's Hospital, by some of the City police-
constables, in a state of great agony, in consequence of his
having been stabbed in the abdomen, a short time pre-
viously, by his own brother, by what is technically called a
bell carriage—a long piece of four square iron, pointed at
one end. Upon examination by the surgeon, it was found
that the wound was of a dangerous character, being fully an
inch and a half in depth, and situated immediately below the
navel. The unfortunate man, who was previously an out-
patient of the institution of which he is now an inmate, it
appears, visited his brother William, who is also a bell-
hanger in Coleman-street buildings, Moorgate ; and fi- ding
there another brother named Charles, who is a few years
younger, he remonstrated th him upon some impropriety
of conduct it is said he hart been guilty of, when the latter
suddenly snatched up the instrument above-mentioned, and
thrust it with great force into the abdomen of his unfortu-
nate brother, and would have repeated the blow, had not the
poor sufferer have fallen to the ground. The unfortunate man
is at present considered in a dangerous state.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE A CLERGYMAN.-011 Fri-
day last, about five o'clock P.M., the Rev Standish O'Grady
Parker, when returning home from Nenagh, was fired at by
one of those miscreants who have so long disgraced the
North Riding of Tipperary. This inhuman attempt is the
more attrocious as the,Rev. Gentleman is one of the most kind
and indulgent landlords to be found in any country, and has
never been known to eject a tenant. The pistol of the
assassin missed fire, and Mr. Parker escaped. Only a few
days since this Rev. Gentleman subscribed a large sum, 108,
to the relief committee of Castletown, as well as to other
similar charitable bodies. He is also a subscriber to every
charity in the country.—Dublin Packet

OF EMBEZzLEMENT AGAINST THE LATE
CHARON
TREASURER or THE BIRMINGHAM Woßallousz
of the deodand should be paid within fonrteen days.
Tnuasnay.—This morning G. Y. Welch, late treasurer
at the Birmingham workhouse, was placed in the dock at
the public office, before H. Smith, Esq., mayor, H. Luck-
cock, Esq., and Pemberton, Esq., charged with embezzling
several sums of money while filling the above office at the
workhouse. Mr. E. Wright, on the part of the guardians,
attended for the prosecution; Mr. Smith for the prisoner.
Mr. Wright, in opening the case, said he appeared as solici-
tor for the guardians of the poor of Birmingham against the
prisoner then before them. The prisoner had held the office
of treasurer at the workhouse for some length of time, and
his father before him filled the same responsible office. Dur-
ing the whole of the time he was in the service of the guar-
dians he had not committed himself as to cause them to with-
draw the confidence they reposed in him until within the last
few months. Towards the latter end of last year a change
took place in the whole of the management of the work-
house, and from treasurer to the guardians Mr. Welch was
appointed to the office of clerk. On his retiring from office
a statement was required of him of all his accounts from
michaelmas, and a statement was accordingly sent in, and
an investigation took place, when it was found incorrect,
and from that and other reasons it was supposed that a sys-
tem of embezzlement had been carried on for some :wears• by
the prisoner The guardians immediately consulted him
(Mr. Wright) as the course they ought to pursue, and though
painful to them as it was, they felt it their duty to prosecute
the prisoner and bring him before the magistrates, and then
to take such course as the law pointed out, in justice to them,.
selves, the public, and other servants connected with the
workhouse. Mr. Wright called two witnesses, who proved
two cases against the prisoner, after which he was remanded
to Monday next. The prisoner's defalcations are said to be
above 1,060/.

Earl FITZWILLIAM then rose to move the following reso-
lution :—" That this House will not give a third reading to

come up from the House of Commons this session, until the
House may have an Opportunity of having them all before
them, fur the purpose of considering what course it may be
desirable to take thereon."
The Earl of DALHOUSIE opposed the resolution.
A short discussion followed, in which Lord KINNAIRD,
Lord ASHBURTON, the Duke of NVELLDCGTON, Lord MONT-

Mr. G. BANICES presented a petition from the borough of
Brideport, praying that full inquiry might be made into the
course that had been pursued in the election for that borough.
Sir J. GRAHAM, in answer to a question from Mr. G.
BERKELEY, said that it was not the intention of the Govern-
ment to make any alteration in county towns with respect to
the delivery of letters on Sundays.

Mr. E. DENISON then moved certain instructions to the
Committee for the purpose of making provision for the
establishment of union settlements.

Colonel WOOD considered that it would be most unfair to
alter parish settlements to union settlements.

Mr. G. BANKES opposed the instructions.
Mr. MEE considered that the Bill required alterations to
render it available.

Mr. CLIRISTOPIIEf denied that the instructions, if carried
into effect, would benefit the agricultural labourer.
Mr. STRAITT supported the instructions.
Mr. PAsuNoTos also supported tha instructions.
Sir J. Gatannst would support the adoption of the instruc-
tions, if the Hon—Member pressed them to a division.

Sir R. Nous opposed the Bill, and supported the in
struclions.

Mr. C. WOOD thought that a union settlement was the
best remedy of the evils that existed under the present law,
and he should therefore support the resolutions.

Mr. Newdegate, Mr. Granger, Lord Morpeth, and Mr. Packe,

(" New Enemies and yet Old Ones"). This
suit caused much uneasiness to M. RONGE'S friends,
but the result has been a complete acquittal.
The sentence declares that, " though M. RONGB
does speak in most severe terms of the various reli-
gious communities legally established in Prussia, still
there is not anything that falls under the action of
the criminal law. In consequence the tribunal de-
clares M. RONGE to be acquitted, and places all the
costs at the charge of the State." A number of
houses in Breslau were illuminated the same evening
to celebrate this decision.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved, as an amendment, that it be an
instruction to the Committee to repeal the whole law of
settlement.

By the Pacha steamer intelligence has been re-
ceived from Lisbon to the 30th ult. At that date the
new Ministry had been definitively constituted as
follows :

President of the Council and Finance Minister-
Duke de PALMELLA.

General JOHNSON seconded the amendment.

The House divided, when their appeared—For the amend
ment, 59 ; against it, 105 ; majority against the amend•
meat, 46.

The House again divided on Mr. E. DENISON'S motion,
when there appeared—For the amendment, 92 ; against it,
70 ; majority for the amendment, 22.
It was then agreed to postpone the Bill till Monday.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at half-past Twelve o'clock.

Whatever apprehensions were formed as to the
pertinacity of opposition with which the Protectionist
Lords might endeavour to clog the passage of Sir
ROBERT PEEL'S policy, by objections or emenda-
tions, they must now be fully exonerated from
all further suspicion. We believe we have already
broached the opinion (and we must be permitted
to broach it again), that the behaviour of those
amongst our aristocracy who uphold the doctrine
of protection to agriculture forms a very agree-
able antithesis to that which regulated the dis-
cussion of their colleagues in the Lower House
of Parliament. Where one has evidenced an almost
interminable glibness of hostility, the other has re-
stricted itself to the most epigrammatic antagonism.
Night after night, week after week, month after
month, the debate lagged through the Commons, the
arguments (if with such an epithet they could be
dignified) drawn out to the most squeamish tenuity,
and yet oration following oration with the same
undeviating and unflagging perseverance. The
progress, however, which these same measures have
already made through the Upper House has been sig-
nalised by a conciseness as remarkable as the preced-
ing procrastination of the representatives. Pre-
cipitation and superfluous objections have been
equally avoided ; and, casting aside all those
extraneous allusions which had elsewhere in-
terfered with the Parliamentary proceedings,
their Lordships have confined themselves within
the extremest limits of the question. Both the
Corn Importation Bill and the Customs' Duties Bill
were immediately allowed to pass the first reading
without any attempt whatever at a division, and with
scarcely a dissentient voice. For the second reading
of the former three nights alone sufficed, while for
the second reading of the latter a few hours on the
very first night of their meeting after Whit-
suntide proved sufficient. Such a conscien-

Minister of War—Marquis DE SALDANUA.
Interior—L. S. M. D'ALnuQuEacius.
Foreign Affairs—Conde DE LAVRADIO.
Justice—J. F. DE SOURE.
Marine—J. J. LOUREIRO.

Lisbon had been the scene of most extraor-
dinary events between the 20th and the 30th
of May. On the 20th Almada, Carilhas, and
several places on the south side of the Tagus
opposite to Lisbon, pronounced. On the 21st,
which was a saint's day, troops were paraded in
the streets of Lisbon, and the people were prevented
crossing the Tagus or promenading in the square of
Terceiro do Paco, facing the river. A collision, in
which many were wounded and some killed, took
place between the troops and the people ; and in the
night the guardhouses of the different stations
I were set fire to. This collision had in a great
measure been occasioned by the irritating conduct of
the CABRALS, who rode openly about Lisbon, as if to
provoke the people. The Duke of PALMELLA was
sent for to form a Ministry ; but the intrigues
of the CenaeLs, backed as their influence was by that
of the KING-CONSORT and the personal wishes of the
QUEEN, rendered his efforts for a time abortive. On
the night of the 21st the following proclamation,
signed by the QUEEN, and countersigned by the
Dukes of PALMELLA and TERCEIRA, was issued :

PROCLAMATION OF THE WIZEN.
"The evils which afflict the Portuguese nation, so worthy
of being free and happy, deeply afflict my heart.
"The complaints of the people cannot be otherwise than
listened to by me, when they are made known to me.
"The state of the nation imperiously demands the applica-
tion of immediate and efficacious remedies with which my
Government is about to occupy itself incessantly.
" The ordinary session of the Cortes will be immediately
closed.

" The sanitary laws, and those for the reform of the system
of taxation, are going to be abolished by a royal decree, which
the Cortes will in due time be madeacquainted with.
" The eminent public opinion, the beet counsellor in re-
presentative Governments, will serve as a beacon light to
my Government, and the freedom of the press is already in
force.

many eminent native and foreign musicians.
In addition to the other attractions of the Gardens will be exhi-

ous and sensible subservience to the dictates
of prudence may be variously attributed—to the
exhaustion of debate upon the subject—to the warn
ing impotence of the fierce and almost spasmodic
labours of their associates in the Commons—to a
truckling spirit in the majority and a sense of hope-
lessness in the minority ; but to whichever of
these conclusions we may arrive the public
will entertain sentiments of enduring thank-
fulness to the Peers for the reasonable
mode of opposition they have adopted in the consi-
deration of these monlentous alterations. There is
one other difference observable between the manner
in which both Houses have treated the matter at issue,
and upon the peculiarity of which difference we are
the more inclined to tarry, seeing that it involves the
public character of an eminent member of the
aristocracy, and one whose justification was pro-
nounced on Thursday night by the unanimous ap-
plause of his peers and of his compeers. Our allu-
sion cannot be extremely problematic to any one
who has glanced tbrough the discussion which pre-
ceded the second reading of the Customs' Duties
Bill, in the course of which discussion the Earl of
DALHOUSIE availed himself of the opportunity of
most distinctly repudiating the imputations cast upon
him in the House of Commons, immediately anterior
to the Whitsuntide vacation, by Lord GEORGE BEN-
Those imputations, which amounted to the
voluntarylc
and temporary suppression of official papers
from Canada of a disposition inimical to free trade, were
proved by the Noble Earl to heyebeen altogether with-
out foundation, to have been totally illusory, to have
been egregiously fallacious—and he proved this, more-
over, by a simple comparison of dates and calcu-
lation of distances. Thebetween

the acceptance of an explanation. In the present in-
stance, for example, we behold the Noble Lord the
Member for Lynn irritated by the utter powerless-
ness of his oratory, and showering the acidity of his
disappointment , upon the Earl of DALHOUSIE. On
the other hand, we perceive the acknowledged leader
of the agriculturists in the Upper Housevolun-
tarily affording the Noble Earl the earliest
opportunity of exculpating himself from the charge,
as far as the public were concerned, by asking for the
production of the Canadian documents, upon the arri-
val or non-arrival of which, within a specific
interval, the whole of the imputation rested. As
a mutual example to each other, the possession
of two legislative assemblies would alone be
of inestimable advantage to the community;
and as it would be desirable for the Commons to imi-
tate the rational brevity of the Lords upon any sub-
sequent discussion, so are we proportionately san-
guine that the Lords will vie with the majority of

" Portuguese—The establishment of order and respect to
the laws is at the present moment the primary necessity, and
my greatest desire consists in the cessation of the disastrous
effects of the public inquietude. This state is indispensable in
order that the Government may occupy itself with urgency,
and, at the same time, with confidence, in whatever be ne-
cessary for the people really to enjoy the benefit and effects
of the constitutional charter.

" My actual Ministers are commissioned by mo to form the
projects of law which may most tend to the furtherance of
economy in the public finances, and the satisfying the prin-
cipal necessities of administration and justice..

ment the tranquillity of the country permits, for only then
can this representation be real and competent to transact the
public affairs.

honour of this nation, which, with so much valour and
loyalty restored to me my crown, and the liberty of the
country, the keeping and preservation of which are objects
of my greatest solicitude.

"Court of Belem, May 21, 1846."

A run on the Bank of Lisbon had commenced on
_ _

THE

the 18th, and had continued to the 20th, when the
officials made a representation to the Government, in
consequence of which a decree was issued authorising
the suspension of cash payments for three months.
similar authorisation was also granted to the
Confiance Company. The Commercial Union Comm
pany, although shut up for two days, had
not suspended cash payments, and its credit
consequently remained unimpaired. On the
22d the Civil Governor of Lisbon, the Marquis DR
FRONTEIRO, was dismissed, and M. POLYCARPIO
JOSE MACHADO was appointed in his plaee. On the
same day the liberty of the press and the guaran-
tees were granted, and Viscount DE Bente was ap-
pointed Governor of Oporto. The appointment of
the Duke of TERCEIRA, who had for years been acting
in concert with the CABRALS, and had held office
under them, gave great umbrage to the people,
more especially as it was understood that
he prevented the Ministry from appointing
any but supporters of the CABRALS to command
in the army, and that it was owing to his influence
that the QUEEN refused to appoint any Septembrist
to the Ministry. The CABRALS, meanwhile, had taken
refuge with GONZALES BRAVO, the Spanish Minister,
and ultimately they embarked on board the Pacha
and landed at Cadiz, where they were received with
great distinction by the Spanish authorities.
The QUEEN, on the 24th, reluctantly consented to
the appointment of Senhor ALBUQUERQUE to the
Ministry; he, however, refused to join a Cabinet of
which the Duke of TERCEIRA was a member, and
the latter was compelled to give way, and resign.
On the 24th the Archduke CONSTANTINE of Rus-
sia arrived, but no attention was paid to
him, and he drove about Lisbon in a hackney car-
riage. On the 25th the Cortes were dissolved, and
the new Cortes convoked for the lat September. On
the 26th the new Ministry was definitively
formed, and on the 30th the QUE was, after much
difficulty, induced to sign a decree granting a general
amnesty to the Almeida insurgents, and re-establish-
ing them in their ranks and places. In Lisbon,
