Speaker, if the Corporation of the City would have a right to
12T1h1 heard counselisdpbEyAKEn
said,before i theth they
Committee?
petitioned against it they
would.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER was glad the House had pronounced
against the continuance of Smithfield-market. It was a
public nuisance, and as the Corporation had refused to re-
move it, Government was bound to do it for them. The
public must and would have a more convenient market.
Sir JAMES DUKE did not object to the public having a
more convenient market, but what he and the Corporation
did object to was, that the Government wanted to shut up
their ancient market in defiance of right and justice.
If the public wanted another market, and the Government
was disposed to find it for them, all well and good, but
don't let the Government at the same time attempt forcibly
to close Smithfield.

Mr. A. STAFFORD was quite convinced this Bill would
not be passed by the Upper House, and the consequence
would be that Smithfield would have to remain in its pre-
sent inconvenient state for another twelvemonths. How
much better it would have beeen had the House passed the
Corporation Bill, and allowed the present market to be con-
siderably enlarged and improved without a moment's delay.
Alderman SIDNEY renewed his application to Govern-
ment to make the Bill a public measure, and let the whole
House decide upon it.
Sir G. GREY said the forms of the House would not allow
them to pursue that course.
The Bill was then ordered to be committed, and a resolu-
tion passed directing the Committee of Selection to nominate
nine Members to sit on the Committee.

STROUD AND GLOUCESTER IURNPIKE-ROAD

BILL.

Sir W. JOLLIFFE moved that the order of the 4th
of April, for the third reading of the Stroud and Glou-
cester Turnpike•road Bill, be read and discharged, and
that the Bill be recommitted to the former Committee.
Agreed to.

THE SPORTSMAN.

Peep-o'-day Boy, the winner of the Cheater Cup in
1848, figures as the principal embellishment of the pre-
sent number, engraved by E. Hacker, from a painting
by Harry Hall, of Newmarket, and is accompanied by a
well•designed engraving by H. Beckwith, called " The
Fox Hunter." Divers appropriate papers fill the pages
of this well-conducted periodical, among which may be
mentioned a contribution by Lord William Lennox on
Captain Rous's book on the Laws and Practice of Horse
Racing, with a slight memoir of the gallant author.

CATALOGUE OF THE LIBRARY OF THE
INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS.
Under the instructions of the council of this increas-
ing institution„ the secretary, Mr. C. Manby, has pro•
duced a catalogue of the works contained in its library
up to the termination of the past year. Considerable
pains and trouble must evidently have been
bestowed by him in getting up a catalogue
of engineering literature, displaying such excellence of
arrangement and especial adaptation for reference on
subjects connected with Civil Engineering. It is formed
on a simple alphabetical system, giving, under the au-
thor's name, an entire transcript of the title-page of each
work and tract, the subject entries being made as brief
as possible, and the cross references being so multiplied,
that scarcely any subject can escape unnoticed. The
utmost attention appears to have been paid to collating
the titles, and ensuring completeness, accuracy, and the
avoidance of clerical errors. The publication of the
present catalogue will prove of the utmost service to the
institution, as tending to induce a presentation of any
scientific and technical works which may be wanting to
render the library complete. It is, indeed, highly sea-
sonable, and creditable both to the character of that ex-
cellent body and to Mr. Manby's own industry and
faculty of lucid classification.

STREET ORGANS.

In answer to a question from C.,lonel SIBTHORP,
Sir G. GREY said he had seen the letter in the Times
of yesterday from an inhabitant of Bryanstone-square,
relative to the nuisance of street organs, but he had not
thought it rec scary to issue any particular order respect-
ing it, as sufficient power was given by the Metropolitan
Police Act for the removal of such nuisances by any
householder of the neighbourhood, and for punishing
such persons as refused to remove on being so required.

RELIGIOUS HOUSES BILL.

On the order of the day being read for the second
reading of this Bill,
_ _ _

Mr.- LACY moved that it ba postponed until the
30th of April.
Mr. GRATTAN hoped the House would treat the
Bill with the contempt it deserved, and kick it over the
bar. It was an insult to all Roman Catholics.
Mr. REYNOLDS suggested, if the Hon. Member was
in earnest in proceeding with the Bill, that he should post
pone it until a further period, in order to enable Irish
Members to be present. The Bill was an insult to all
Roman Catholic ladies who occupied these religious houses.
Mr. LACY was perfectly in earnest in bringing
forward the Bill, and should proceed with it as long as he
lived and the ouse gave him power to do so.
Mr. O'FLAHERTY said he was anxious that the Bill
should be discussed in the House, because he considered that
it was a foul libel on religions houses, and that discussion
would place them in a true light before the public.
The order of the day, after same further discussion, was
then postponed until the 14th of May.___ _

lONIAN ISLANDS.

The German. Journal of Frankfort has the following
from Patras, 23d ult.:—" There is a faction in the
lonian Islands which is labouring hard to effect the
junction of those islands with Greece. It attacks not
only the Protectorate and the English Government,
but also all the friends of progress who refuse to mix
themselves up with Radicalism. The Chamber of De-
puties having been adjourned in consequence of a
proposition having been made for the above-named junc-
tion, the Radical party protested against the conduct of
the Governor, and against that of the President of the
Chamber. The Radical press has published articles
couched in the most violent language. All this, how-
ever, serves the views of the Governor, who hopes that
the Democrats will be one after the other removed from
the Chamber, and replaced by Conservatives."

The Breslau Gazette says that RADEIZKY has re-
cently demanded reinforcements for his army from
the Austrian Government. Nevertheless the Go-
vernment pays no attention to this demand, seeing
that the state of the public finances will not permit of
a greater outlay of money for this purpose. It is
necessary to pay the troops in Italy in hard cash,
which the Government has little of, while the sol-
diery in other parts of the empire are paid in paper
money.

Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium
Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates.
EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated ander 7 and $ Viet., cap. 110.)

The leading principles of this Office an—Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.

The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of giess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only be ap-
,3roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will he proportioned to the risk.

The Equitable Fire °Pike will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tit- e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter Into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or tiny per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.

The Paris Journal des Debuts has the following

" The journals of all countries and of all colours have

one of the most remarkable sittings of the Grand

The sitting lasted without interruption from eight o'clock

of in the Parliamentary annals of Berne. It is needless
to remark that the discussion was warm, and at times

menced a series of entertainments at this house last
night. In the art to which he seems to have devoted
his life—namely, that of imitating the sound of cats,
dogs, frying-pans, &c.—this gentleman has probably
not a rival, and strange indeed must be the noise
which he cannot reproduce with startling accuracy,

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Mr. Pa!grave Simpson, a gentleman agreeably
known to the play-going world as the author of several
lively and graceful dramatic pieces lately produced,
gave us last night a freshly written and pleasantly
conceived trifle called That odious Captain Cutter,
marked, as usual, in Mr. Simpson's writings, by
list elegance of tone, by neatness and tact in con--
struction, and by natural and easy delineation
of character. The little piece turns upon the
adventures of a widow left with a fortune,
upon condition that she marries a man of
the name of Harcourt. Two rival claimants,
an old bore and a young one, are routed by
that "odious Captain Cutter," a gay rattling adven-
turer, who, after a series of neatly-intrigued scenes
turns out to be a distant relative and a bearer of the
all-important name—the " Cutter" appellation having
been only a nom de guerre. Mrs. Stirling and Mr.
Leigh Murray carried off the principal parts with
gaiety, grace, and abundant comic verve, and at the
fall of tba curtain Mr. Simpson was loudly called for
to bow his acknowledgments.

EXETER HALL.

MR. HORSLEY'S NEW ORATORIO OF DAVID.
Mr. C. H. Horsley's new oratorio of David was
produced here last evening, under his own superin-
tendence, and its success was complete. Mr. C. H.
Horsley has long been known as an attentive student
of Mendelesshon, and that he has become imbued with
the spirit of the great master is evident from this
work. The overture is a very fine composition : it is
in D minor, and proves at once that Mr. C. H.
Horsley is a most accomplished and learned mu-
sician. Indeed, the oratorio throughout bears
witness t o the scholarship and thorough musical
knowledge of the composer. The choruses are
exceedingly fine, and the instrumentation throughout
is perfect. The solo parts, which were admirably
rendered by Miss Birch, Miss Williams, Mr. Lockey,
and Mr. Weiss, are replete with melody. It is said
that this oratorio was offered to the Sacr©d Harmonic
Society, and refused ; we congratulate Mr. Horsley
on the occurrence ; it would have been most grating
to his ear to have beard the beautiful choruht.s of
David murdered by the hoarse and out-of-tune sing-
ing amateurs who " do" the choruses at the Sacred
Harmonic Society. The hall was crowded to exces,,
and Mr. Horsley was warmly applauded on entering
and on leaving the orchestra.

rThe following appeared in our Third Edition of
.I.t night
THE NEW MINISTRY.

Our anticipations with respect to the probable
rmation of a New Ministry based on the coali-
tion of men of Liberal principles, whether Conserva-
tive or otherwise, are being realized. Lord Jowl
RUSSELL is now engaged in selecting his future
coadjutors for carrying out the principles of
Reform and Free Trade in an enlightened spirit.
We heartily wish him success in his la-
bours so long as he has the true interests
of the country at heart—totally irrespective of
party, sectional, or class interest. The good
of the country is paramount to all selfish
interests, be they aristocratical or plebeian, and
while Lord JOHN RussEr.r, acts on that national
principle he shall hare our support, but not other-
wise. The House of Commons was crowded to excess,
and the avenues leading to it were full of people
eager to learn the issue of the Ministerial crisis.

-----
Lord STANLEY was unable to form a Ministry.

VICINITY OF THE lIOUSE THIS
EVENING.

The greatest excitement prevailed in the neighbour-
hood of both Houses this evening, owing to the general
expectation that information could be obtained which
would unravel the mystery at present overhanging the
Ministerial crisis, and give some notion as to the pro-
bable successors of the Whig Administration. Opposite
the entrance to the House of Commons an immense con-
course of persons had assembled to witness the arrival
of the different Members, and they evinced the greatest
anxiety to catch even at the slightest of the many
rumours which were flying about in all directions. The
excitement was increased towards half-past four by
carriages driving rapidly and in quick succession,
down Whitehall and Parliament-street, to the House
of Commons.
One of the rumours which seemed to be generally
believed was, that though there would be a change in
the Ministry, Lord John Russell would still hold the
pct of Prime Minister.

This was seconded by Mr. POMEROY; but after two or
three attempts to count the numbers (some of the per-
sons holaing up two band: instead of one) the original
motion was carried by a majority of 33.
A resolution that a petition, praying " for the re-
moval of the income-tax, but retaining th&property-tax,"
be presented, was also carried, and a vote of thanks to
the Chairman terminated the proceedings.

attract 3d a large audience, which could not but be-
come enthusiastic at the representation—for it was
admirable. Beneventano, Lorini, and Ainalia Patti,
distinguished themselves ; and the personation and vo-
calization of Parodi were so remarkable, that words
cannot adequately express the character of her triumphs.
The second act was an exhibition of terrific gran-
deur, wrought with wonderful power by the vocalist;
and the whole performance was a display of quali-
ties, combined with such astonishing force and per-
fection, that the public were excited to the utmost
degree of enthusiasm. At the end of each act, the
continued applause summoned Parodi and the other
vocalists before the curtain ; and in the final scene
nature seemed exhausted, and Lucrezia fell at the feet
of Gennaro, overpowered with excitement. V

SURREY THEATRE.

Last evening a new and interesting drama, in three acts,
was produced at this theatre, entitled the World's Games.
It is made up of a variety of incidents, which, while they
render it most interesting to an audience, make itediffi-
cult to comprise a detail of them in the limited space of
a notice of the performance. The piece professes to
give an exemplification of the vices, virtues, well.doings,
and ill-doings of the year 1851, and such being its
comprehensive scope, it may be supposed that in the
course of its development much amusement was con-
ferred. Such was the case; for the manner in which
all the characters in the piece were gone through
elicited unbounded applause, so much so, that at its
conclusion the whole of the leading characters
in the piece were called before the curtain and received
the hearty plaudits of a numerous auditory, for the ex-
cellent manner in which they bad performed their re-
spective parts—as a guarantee for the success of the
piece, it may be only necessary to state that Mr. Bruce
Norton, Mr. T. Mead, Messrs. Shepherd and Widdi-
comb, Miss Cooper, and Miss H. Coveney, represented
the principal characters of the piece. The acting of
Messrs. Shepherd and Widdicomb in the piece had a
most decided effect, and called forth the hearty applause
of the audience. Mr. T. Mead, as a man who had risen
from the racks, and made his fortune by perseverance
and industry against the greatest odds, also did his part
admirably. Thu piece was announced for repetition
amid much applause, and bids fair to be a great favourite
with the public. The performance concluded with
the favourite pantomime of tEe Merry Wives of Windsor.

audiences. The principal characters being sustained'
by Messrs. Drott, Conway, Davidge, Shaw, Mrs.

lineations of character, which are given nightly, by
the celebrated cornmedian, Mr. ti. E. Locke, are
drawing, as might be expected, large assemblages.
The new burlesque, entitled Pizarrolms, is highly
successful.
TACON THEATRE, HAVANNAH.--The opera of E
Templario has been produced at this theatre with
unusual splendour, both as respects scenery and
dresses. The artists to whom the principal parts
were committed were Salvi, Badiali, and TedesZo,
who plainly showed that they were anxious for the
success of El Templario (the Knight Templar).
The public, however, received it with marked
coldness.
