It is impossible to convey a suitable idea of the)
effect which this stately procession presented—a
procession it was an ceremonious and precise as any
could desire to see, the number of huge ships at
stated intervals and the broad avenue of clear blue
water between the two divisions, still pressing on
the mind the marvel of that mechanical agency by,
which such order and power are -combined in one),
display on the inconstant deep. The ships kept in
splendid line on their way out to sea, showing
proudly their long rows of port-holes, holding
every intruding craft at a respectful distance.
!Occupying a central position between the Duke
on the port side, and the Royal George
on the starboard, but slightly in advance of,

could such a sight be witnessed. Thousands upon

t;other high grounds of the Isle of Wight in. that

the channel, and the ships were steaming out to

in; a certificate, incurs a penalty of 201., and is also liable to be sur-
charged in d ,üble the amount of the certificate duty.
Any person in pursuit of game refusing, on being duly required, to
produce his certificate, or to permit the same to be read, or a copy
thereof to be taken, or ref using to declare his true name and place of
residence, also incurs a penalty of 201.
Gamekcep-rs are desired to take notice that a certill,ate at the
rate of 11. 7s. 6d. will not authorise any person to kill game beyond

liable to be surcharged in double the duty of 41. Os. 10d , and also to
be prosecuted by any common informer for the penalty of 201.
N.B.—lt is the intention of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue
to publish in a separate list the names and residences of all persons
surcharged in double duty for sporting without certificates.

Ties ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION IN RUPERT-STREET
—The detective officers possess information which leads ,
them to suppose that the assassin Fosehini is secreted
in London. He is so closely watched both by day and
,night that the slightest movement on his part would

a tend to his capture ; and it is hinted that the offer of a
reward will lead to his immediate apprehension.

unwillingness to continue longer under the yoke
is imperative. It is more especially for their
benefit that the motion for the opening of our
national institutions on a Sunday is brought for-
ward. They know what a grievous yoke that is
from which it is sought to deliver them, and
how also to make themselves heard. What ! are a
handful of tinners in Cornwall and a few hun
dred little knots of zealots in other out-of-the
way places, who know little or nothing of what
they are petitioning about, to be suffered
to rivet the yoke, the unchristian yoke,
imposed on myriads of men, when, by
an effort on the part of the sufferers, it
may be broken and cast aside for ever ? Let
them be up and doing. Let the memory of the
Beer Bill, repealed last session, convince them
how dangerous it is to despise the ravings of
bigots ; and, in a peaceful and constitutional
manner, say of Sabbatarian Restriction, " We
may no longer endure it." If they do so, and do
it as they ought, they will not be without aid.
Let them be assured that from their brethren in
the country petitions in favour of the motion will
come in, not perhaps in such numbers, but vastly
more numerously signed than those against it,
and the dullest legislatoiral head will be led to
question the propriety of a miserable minority in-
flicting their stapid hypocrisy by Act of Parlia-
ment on the great majority.

expended.

THE Tirrnnany 13<tNIC.

The Evening Mail learns to-day from various quarters
that the branch banks in Clonmel and elsewhere are
open, and business is still carried on, though the mana-
gers require ten days' notice of the withdrawal of de-
posits.
It was rumoured yesterday evening that one of the
branch banks in the county of Tipperary had been at-
tacked by the people, and the interference of the police
was necessary to protect the building.

MADRAS.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
the London Tavern, yesterday ; Major-General Duncan
Sim in the chair.

The CHAIRUAN briefly explained the leading points of
the report, an abstract of which has already been pub-
lished, and congratulated the shareholders that in No-
vember last, Lord Dalhousie had travelled over 60
miles of the line, and having then working stock upon
it, they might shortly be in a position to form some idea
of what its results might be. About 200 miles would
be opened within two years. At the request of the East
India Company, the company was about to survey a line
from Cuddapa to Bellary, which, however, would be
constructed upon a separate capital.
A long discussion took place relative to the company
having three kinds of stock-4, 4 and 5 per cent
and to an application made to toe East India Company
to increase the guarantee over the whole amount to rti
'per cent., to which they had not, as yet acceled. It
was explained that, under their original agreement, the
whole of the capital was to be raised at 41 per cent., but
the East India Company afterwards consents I to modify
the agreement, and allow the money to be raised at such
prices as would command it at par, according to the
state of the times. _ _ _

The report was adopted, and a resolution carried that
no agreement should be entered into for the construction
of the new line without the consent of the shareholders
being previously obtained.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors closed
the proceedings.

FALL OF KARS.

Mr. WHITESIDE asked the noble lord (Palmerston)
if ho had any objection to lay on the table of the house
the papers relating to the fall of Bars
Lord PALMERSTON said that part of the papers
were at present in the hands of the printers, and the re-
mainder would be ready to-morrow. The whole would be
in the hands of hon. members in a few days. At the same
time he would mention, in reference to Sir J. M'Neil's
report, that a board of officers had been appointed to
investigate the charges that had been made against cer-
tain officers, and to receive their explanations, and to
report thereon.
In answer to several questions from hon. members,
Lord PALMERSTON added that the board would
be composed entirely of officers. When their report
was made, and it was presented to the house, it would
contain with it the instructions that would be given to
them with reference to the discharge of their functions.
No officer who had served in the Crimea would be a
member of the board.

ST. MARTIN'S HALL.

Beethoven's Mass in C and Mendelssohn's Hymn of
Praise were performed at this hall last evening, under
the direction of Mr. Juhn Mullah. The principal per-
formers were Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves, Miss Palmer,
Miss Banks, and Mr. Thomas. The chorus consisted,
as usual, of the members of Mr. Ii llah's Upper Sing-
ing School. The first of the pieces performed, though
not so well suited to a mixed audience as the latter, and
having the disadvantage of being in a foreign language,
was nevertheless attentively listened to and well re-
ceived. The second part of the evening's entertainment
commenced with an introductory sinfonia admirably
performed. The opening chorus was given with vigour
and effect. The duet for two sopranos was sung by
Mrs. Sims Reeves and Miss Banks, and obtained a well-
merited encore. Mr. Sims Reeves sung the air for the
tenor, " The Sorrows of Death," and its accompanying
recitative, " Watchman, will the night soon pass,"
with so much expression and effect that the enthusiastic
demand. for an encore silenced the chorus which imme-
diately followed. The chorus acquitted themselves well,
and the orchestra, under the direction' of Mr. Hollab,
I was all that could be desired. The ball was crowded.

ROYAL VISIT TO TFI ADELPIII

I'.II EAT RE.

Her Majesty has graciously signified to Mr. Webster
her intention of visiting the Adelphi Theatre on Satur-
day morning next, accompanied by Prince Albert and
the Royal Family, to witness a private performance of
the splendid pantomime of "Jack and the Bean Stalk;
or, Harlequin and Mother Grouse at Home Again." Mr.
Webster well deserves this special mark of his Sovereign's
favour, for no manager has more industriously and suc-
cessfully laboured to provide attractive entertainments
for her Majesty's lieges than the talented and enterpris-
ing lessee of the Adelpbi Theatre.

London, England, 1856-02-21

Sir J. WALMSLEY moved the following resolution

" That, in the opinion of this house, it would promote the
moral and intellectual improvement of the working classes
of this metropolis if the Collections of National History.
and of Art in the British Museum and the National Gal-
lery were open to the public inspection after Morning
Service on Sundays."
He then alluded to the efforts made by the late
Mr. Hume for throwing open those places of amuse-
ment and instruction to the working classes. He (Sir
J. Walmsley) considered that by opening those places on
Sunday it would conduce to the moral and social im-
provement of. the working classes, and elevate their
religious character, who, from whatever cause,
had not hitherto been brought within the
influence of those whose duty and business it had been
to instruct them. By granting the present application
it would not interfere with the religious rites of those
who entertained different views. He contended ther e
was no valid reason for refusing this application,
and he referred to the hundreds and thousands
of persons inhabiting the numerous courts and
alleys of the metropolis, who would be induced to
visit those places of amusement on Sundays if they were
opened on that day, in preference to having rec 'urge to
those relaxations and enjoyments which they sought
after at the present time. He warned the house against
refusing this application, which might have the effect of
making them good, virtuous, and industrious
citi-
sens. He proceeded to combat the objections that had
been put forward against the adoption of this measure,
and ridiculed the idea that it would prevent any persons,
and especially doineAlc servants, from attending a place
of worship then more than now. The Fine Arts Coin-
mission had advocated the openingof the British M.uscurn
on Sunday, and had pointed out how it might be done
without much interfering with the present arrangements,
ald with but adding a very little, if any, extra labour
on the servants. It was a strong fact that a majority
of the working classes of the metropolis were in favour
of his motion, and he believed the working men of the
country generally were in favour of it. (Cries of "No,
no.")

Sporting Intelligence.

TATTERSALL'S-110NDAY.
A. somewhat brisk " cross fire " was kept up during
most of the afternoon by the respective friends of Yellow
Jack and Fly-by-Night for the Two Thousand. At one
time 3 to 1 was taken about each, and 1,000 'even and
500 even were betted between them ; afterwards they
alternately fell back to 4 to 1 and advanced again to 100
to 30. Yellow Jack had, however, the vantage ground
at the close, as the subjoined quotations will show. For
the Chester Cup and thaDerby he -experienced a decline,
15 to 1 being laid to 150 against him for the former
event, and the same odds to 1251. for the latter.
Ellington was backed for the Derby at 9 to 1 and 8 to
I—the less odds were taken to upwards of 1501. 7to 1
was taken to 1001. about Wentworth, and 10 to 1 freely •
offered against Fly-by-Night. Most of the investments
son the Liverpool Steeplechase were only in small sums.
Sir -Peter Laurie, notwithstanding the position which
was assigned him in the City betting on Saturday, was
backed for 751. at Bto 1. Harry Lorreqaer was merely
inquired after.
