or dean, taken by any person solely as the designation

according to its rules and usages, and not claiming to

Sir G. GREY opposed the amendment, which, upon a
division, was rejected by 118 against 33.
The third (and last) clause was agreed to without a
division.

to be made in the latter particular, that is hardly yet
as glaringly apparent. Upon the former occasion, when
the dictatorship of CAVAIGNAC bad succeeded to the
Executive Commissioners, selected for the adinistra-
tion of the affairs of the Republic from the first
agitated councils of the Provisional Government, the
candidates who presented themselves to the nation as
aspirants for the dignity of chief magistrate, were of
a character so marked in their several kinds as to
admit of no hesitation or misapprehension. There
was the hero of February, whose unflinching
valour had rescued Paris from anarchy
and France from terrorism, and who had thereby
surrounded with a prestige of glory the name,
already familiar and beloved, of LAISIARTINE. There
was the soldier of June, whose generalship had con-
quered the more ferocious faction of revolutionists,
those men who, in the emphatic words of the English
annalist proved to be " pagans in the midst of
Christianity, and savages in the midst of civilization,"
and who had thereby earned for himself the gratitude
which history will proclaim to be the just meed of
CAVAIGNAC. There was the champion of the ultra-
democrats, whose official documents had engendered
so much ill-feeling and irritation through-
out the departments, and who thereby had
ruined the opportunity which might otherwise have
offered itself to the energies of LEDRIT RoLLisr.
There was, moreover, the representative of the house
of BONAPARTE, the heir to the fortunes, or, as they
had rather proved heretofore, the misfortunes, of the
EMPEROR, the head and chieftain of the NAPOLEON dy-
nasty, who had hitherto betrayed more audacity than
judgment, more frivolity than intelligence, and more
eccentricity than intellectual endowments, but who
retained withal a marvellous and still puissant talis-
man of success, in the simple fact of his name
and its many illustrious associations. Called
upon to select from those four remarkable
candidates the one they would prefer beyond his
competitors, the people of France chose, it can never
be forgotten, the very one whose capacities for the
direction of the affairs of a government were the
least comprehended, but whose conduct since then
has, in every particular, demonstrated the fortunate
sagacity of their selection. After four years of un-
interrupted power, Louts NAPOLEON will be required
either to withdraw into honourable seclusion, or al-
low himself to be again lifted to the perilous elevation
of the Presidency.

Mr. S. CRAWFORD then moved to add a new clause,
exempting Ireland from the operation of the Bill.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the clause 89 tanta-

not extend to Ireland.

After a lengthened discussion the clause was negatived
by 255 against 60.
Sir ROBERT HARRY INGLIS moved a clause declaring
her MAJESTY'S pre-eminence in right of her imperial
crown; that the Bishop of ROME had of late years as-
sumed jurisdiction within this realm, by constituting sees
and appointing bishops; that such assumptions have no
foundation in the law of this realm, but are rather mani-
festly against all law; that the grant of rank, precedence,
and titles cannot by law be imparted to the bishops and
clergy of any communion other than that of the Esta-
blished Church; and enacting that it shall not be lawful
for any servant of the Crown to allow any rank or pre-
cedence, or to use any title of honour in respect of any
ecclesiastical dignity in the Church of Rome, to any per-
son not having her MAJESTY'S licence for such title; with
a proviso in favour of any usage of rank or title in any
dependency ceded to the Crown where special provision
shall have been made by the treaty for the maintenance
of the Church of Rome therein.

It is reapectililly announced that THIS EVENING will be pro.
clued Beethoven's Opera,

Embarrassed by the continued difficulties of her
position, France will possibly be induced to entrust
again to the hands of the occupant of the Elysee, the
son of HORTENSE and the nephew of NAPOLEON, the
authority which for se long a period be has exercised
with such remarkable discretion. It may be that a
sentiment not unlike that of actual gratitude may
persuade the Republican electors to reward by a re-
newal of this same authority the Prince who has con-

tinued faithful to his oath of loyalty in spite of every
dynastic remembrance, and of various scarcely re-
sistible temptations. Whatever may be the principle
upon which the votes of the population are to be de-
livered in, it is earnestly to be hoped that the
stability of their existing institutions may be above
everything borne sedulously in recollection. It
should not, for instance, be forgotten that all kinds of
monarchical government have been tried in succes-
sion, and that, weighed in the balance of experiment,
they have each in turn been found wanting.
Neither should the circumstance be overlooked that
the ancient dynasty of the BOURBONS proved in-
capable of preserving its sway over the loyalty
of the multitude, though supported by the arms of the
allied Sovereigns, and forced back upon the realm of
their ancestors by two memorable restorations. While
it should be as carefully borne in mind that the house
of Orleans in like manner was found to be an ineffec-
tual security against the vices of kingcraft and the
avarice of monarchical aggrandizement. Enlightened
by these bitter experiences, France will do well to
keep a watchful eye upon the safety of her democratic
institutions.

a
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before the LORD
CIIIEF JUSTICE, and a Special Jury.)
FLORENCE V. LAWSON.
This was an action to recover compensation in damages
for a libel alleged to have been published in the Times
newspaper, and reflecting on the character of the
plaintiff. The defendant pleaded justification.
The Attorney-General and Mr. Bannister appeared
for the plaintiff, and Mr. Huinfrey, Mr. Hawkins, and
Mr. Bovill conducted the defence.
It appeared from the opening statement of the
ATTORNEY. GENERAL, that Mr. Florence, the plaintiff,
and another persoe named Davies. were in partnership,
and carried on the Bishopsgate Distillery in the City-
road. Differences having arisen betweon them, the
partnership was dissolved, and proceedings were after-
wards taken in Chancery for the purpose of determining
the rights of the two parties. Several hearings took
place before Mr. Baron Platt, at chambers, under an
interpleader summons in regard to the ownership of
certain property, and two lengthened reports of
the proceedings were published in the 7 isles
on the 14th and 16th of December, 1850. In the
second report, an affidavit, stated to be made by Mr.
Davis, who had since become a bankrupt, was pub-
lished in detail, in which he accused the plaintiff of
having misappropriated 7,0001., and of other malpractices.
This affidavit bad never been sworn nor referred to at
the hearings before the Learned Judge, and contained
statements prejudicial to the character and future pros-
pects of the plaintiff. Application had been made to the
Times for the name of the person who had supplied the
report, the plaintiff believing that the conductors of
that journal had no wilful intention of injuring him,
but that the affidavit had been inserted at the instigation
of some third party with the view of influencing pro-
ceedings elsewhere; but that request was not complied
with, and therefore the only course the plaintiff could
adopt to clear himself from these false imputations was
to bring this case before a jury.
The plaintiff's solicitor having been examined as to the
proceedings before Mr. Baron Platt,
Mr. BUDIFREY, after a brief consultation with the
Attorney-General, said he was happy to intimate to the
jury, that an arrangement had been come to between
the parties, by which the further consideration would
be dispensed with. The proprietors of the Tunes re-
gretted that they had been led inadvertently intothe
publication of the libel, for such it undoubtedly wlt

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
ASSAULTING THE POLlCE„—Georye Hewlett, aged 30,
described as a labourer, was indicted for feloniously
wounding William Curtis, a police-constable, with intent
to do him some grievous bodily harm. The prisoner
pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
&gamine defended the prisoner.
On the night of the 3d of May the policeman was on
duty at Bromley, in Middlesex, when he heard a noise
in the neighbourhood of the High-street, and on hasten-
ing thither he found the prisoner and others fighting.
He tried to part them, but failed to do so, and in the
course of the scuffle the prisoner got possession of the
constable's staff, and struck him:down. He then hur-
ried home and retired to rest, but some six or seven
other members of the force went in pursuit and tracked
him to his very bed. He, however, refused to get up
and to dress himself, and the six or seven policemen,-
according to their own account, had to drag him out
and convey him to the station• house in a state of
nudity. The defence set up was, that the policeman
was the aggressor in the first instance; indeed, he was
partially drunk at the time the disturbance took place,
and rushing in amongst the mob` laid his truncheon
about him right and left, without reference to the
skulls it fell upon. Evidence was produced to show.
that the constable had been drinking at the Victoria
public-house the whole night, in company with many
of those who took part in the disturbance, and that
he was as much to blame as the prisoner.
(The case was proceeding when our report left.)

LITERATURE.
LETTERS TO A CANDID LNQUIRER ON
AIViiIIAL MAGNET'S:IL By William Gre-
gory, MD., ER.S E., Professor of Chemistry in
the University of Ecliz,burqh.
This is the first attempt- that has been bade to give
to the world a systematic work on the subject of mea'
merism, or, as Dr. Gregory prefers to designate it,
animal magnetism. It is very true that Dr. Elliot-
son has, in his excellent work on physiology,
entered somewhat at large into the subject, and that
by his indefatigable labours in the cause of mesmeric
science and his invaluable communications in the Zoisto
he may fairly claim the honour of having done more,
much more for the science, than either Mesmer himself
or any of his followers; but he has not given us a
systematic work on the subject (he has employed his
time in a manner much more conducive to the pro-
gress of the science), and neither the works of Messrs.
Townsend, Sandby, Scoresby, Esdaile, Mayo, or
Miss Martineau, admirable as they are, are
altogether calculated to supply the want
which all students have felt, that, namely,
of a systematic treatise on mesmerism which should
_methodize and arrange the various
phenomena which
have been observed. That want is amply sup-
plied by the Letters now under review.
The work
is divided into two parts ; in the first part Dr. Gre;
gory gives us a general description and analysis 43'
the phenomena, and in the second part he gives 111
various facts and cases, with observations thereon.
The first three letters are devoted to the consideration
of the various objections usually urged against animal
magnetism ; having disposed of which, the author
proceeds to describe and analyze the various phe"
nomena, from the simple magnetic sleep up to the.
state of ecstacism. His observations on the danger of
rash experiments, and on the doubtfulness of the ad-
vantage of public exhibitions, should be attentively
considered by all who desire to study animal wag'
netisni as a science. The author having gone so
length into the subject of phreno-magnetism pre"
ceeds to consider the action of magnets, crystoll
Sic., on the human frame, and then gives
an admirable resume of the researches of Heicheu•
bacb, and of his discovery of a universally
diffused force, to which he gives the name of Odyle,.
and which Dr. Gregory proves to be identical .; with
the magnetic fluid of Mesmer. The first part con•
eludes with several practical hints and cautions to be
observed in conducting experiments. In the won'
part we have a collection of all the more remarkable
facts and cases, in the course of which the subjects of
the magic mirror, of the magic crystal and of the
Egyptian me is are Cully considered ; as well se
cases of trance, ecstacies, apparitions, and predictions.
It is fortunate for the cause of animal magnetituft_
that the task of preparing the first systematic work
on the subject should have fallen into the hands OI
Dr. Gregory, who, by his previous studies and his
admirable tramalation of Reicbenbach's researches, was
so well qualified to do it justice. This must hence•

PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OF THE WESTERN LITE-
RARY INSTITUTION BY FIRIC.—(THIS DAY )—About twelve
o'clock this morning the greatest alarm prevailed in the
neighbourhood of Leicester-square, owing to the outbreak
of a fire at the Western Literary Institution. The sudden
bursting forth of flames from under the seats where the
audience attend, soon denoted to those on the premises the
cause of alarm, and messengers were sent for the Brigade
and West of England engines instantly. Six of the former
body were in quick attendance. By one o'clock the flames
were checked in their progress, but the majority of the seats
are destroyed, and other serious damage occasioned. All
further danger, however, has ceased. The engines were at
work when our informant lef . The houses of Messrs. Gole
born, printers, and a coffee-house and chop-house adjoining,
are both greatly damaged.

VeuxliALL.—BAL CosTtuE.--Last evening those
who had not the honour of an invitation to the Royal Palace,
Buckingham House, on the occasion of her Majesty's bat
costume, had an opportunity of exhibiting themselves, and
seeing others exhibited in somewhat similar costumes at the
" Royal property," Vauxhall Gardens, the proprietor of which
place issued a general invitation to his friends and the public
to honour him with a visit at the masquerade. The num-
ber of visitors was very considerable, and the appearance of
the place gay and brilliant. Some of the mimic gallants of
the age of the Merry Monarch were well habited, and, as
far as external appearance went, did no dishonour to the
Rochesters, Sedleys, Buckinghams, Davenants, &c., of those
piping times. The ladies, if they resembled their predeces-
sors of the days of Charles 11. in nothing else, were certainly
not behind them in the freedom of their deportment. There
were several Nell Gwynnes, if not as fascinating, at least as
forward as the celebrated original. The dancing and the
diversions of the bat were, however, sufficiently decorous, and
good humour and mirth prevailed for several hours in all
parts ofthe grounds. The illuminations were particularly
good, and the arrangements reflect credit on Mr. Wardell
and his assistant arbiter elegantiarum Mr. B.Barnett. The
band way an efficient one, and the whole was satisfactory to
the British and foreign visitors of this very old and favourite
place of pleasurable resort.
APPOINTMENT —The following official circular
was issued yesterday from St. Martin's-le. Grand :—" To all

THE GREAT CHEss TOURNAMENT.--Since our no-
tice of the progress of these matches on Wednesday last, the
players have taken a little rest from their labours. On Tues-
day the course of victory continued to flow in the same chan-
nel, Herr Anderssen winning a second game of Mr. Staunton;
Mr. Williams a third of Mr. Wyvill. On Wedni sday and
Thursday there was no play, but yesterday the contest was
resumed with renewed spirit, and the many admirers of
England's ehampion were confident that Caissa, who has so
often crowned his efforts, would once more smile on her fa-
vourite son. It was not so, however; chess goddesses, it
seems, are not less inconsistent than mere mortal dames.
After a well-maintained struggle of some hours, the German
was once more victorious over the Briton, and has now only
one more game to win of Staunton. Mr. Williams was less
successful ; he lost his game to Mr. Wyvill. Their match
stands, therefore, three games to Williams, one to Wyvill.
We understand that the play is to be continued on Monday.
Mr. Horwitz has been completely defeated by Herr Szen, the
Hungarian player, who has won four games without losing
one. Captain Kennedy has been equally successful against
Air. Mucklow. The contest between the provincial players,
of which we took some notice last week, has finally termi-
nated. Mr. Boden, of Hull, having beaten all his competi-
tors, obtains the first prize; Mr. Rankin, of Clifton (we be-
lieve), the secons ; the third and fourth are won by Mr.
Bryan and Mr. Hodges.
The Government have augmented the annual
grant to the Nottingham School of Design from 2501. to 4001.

HONESTY IN HUMBLE LIFE.—
John
Jones, one of the street orderlies (No. 125) employed
in cleansing the City, found a silver watch and chain in
Bishopagate-gate. On restoring the same to the owner,
who had given up all idea of recovering the articles, he
was rewarded with the munificent sum of one shilling
AGRICULTURAL PROSPERITY IN SCOTLAND.—This
is the usual period of rent collection in the district; and we
are glad to learn from all quarters that the rents have been
excee Jingly well paid—better, indeed, if possible, than or-
dinary. Indeed, with rising markets both for cattle and
corn, the farmers are in better spirits than they have been for
some time.—Banffshire Journal.
The Earl of Eglititon has announced his intention
to give a piece of plate annually for the encouragement of
the Scotch national game of curling in the county of Ayr.
THE LATE BALLOON ACCIDENT.--We are informed
that, notwithstanding the serious accident which befel Mr.
and scrs. Graham a few days since, they are progressing ra-
pidly towards recovery.
MALTA, JUNE 12.—0 n the 10th a very large shark
was caught by some fishermen off St. Paul's Bay, and brought

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A SON OF MAJOR. STUPART.
--Mr. Robert Stupart, aged about 21, son of Major Stupart,
formerly of the Scots Greys, and one of the remaining
heroes of Waterloo, now residing near Edinburgh, while on
a visit to his cousin, Mr. Mill, of Portmoon, was in the habit
occasionally of going down the dangerous paths which in-
tersect the rocks in that part of the coast, fur the purpose of
gathering sea-gulls' eggs. While engaged in this manner,
on the sth inst., by himself, as it appears, he lost his
footing, and was killed. Search was made for him, on his
absence being discovered; but his body was not found till

LONDON DISTRICT LETTER CARRIERS' SOCIETY.—
We are glad to see this praiseworthy and flourishing society
meeting with the attention it deserves, as, in addition to its
already numerous public patrons and the presidents of the
district department, his Royal Highness the Duke of Corn-
bridge has, with his characteristic liberality, not only pre-
sented the fund with a handsome donation, but has taken it
under his especial patronage. We feel great pleasure in
bounty to the
re-
cording this .nstance of his Royal Highness's
members of this toil-worn and ill-requited class of public
servants. Need we say the example will be extensively fol.
lowed, so that the objects of the society may be fully carried
out, those objects bei: g to rescue the Nworn-out letter carrier
from the penury and want at present his sure attendant, and
the e continent. e
being at all
to make provision for widows and orphans,
times pleasin asst see those assisted in their endeavours who
endeavour to themselves.
