LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1858.

Parturient Monte., Sto. A very ridiculous pro-
duction..... 4 palpable' abortion—has been the result
of the Sabbath-day conspiracy—the Cambridge-
House Plot I The concootors of the notable scheme
are covered with eonfnaion at the " most lame and
impotent conclusion" of their factious project.
The " Engineer has indeed been hoist with his
own petard." The " infernal machine" has re-
coiled on those by whom it was so recklessly re-
sorted to—and none but the projectors have
received damage from its explosion. A few days
since the Palmerstonians and their servile adherents
of the fourth estate were perfectly cock-a-hoop.
They fancied that they had but to stretch forth
their hands, to .seize .the reins of power, which
were apparently within their grasp. But the
slips between the cup and lip are proverbial, and
seldom has there been a stronger illustration of
the truth of the time-honoured adage than on the
pretent occasion. A week since one hundred and
twenty majority was confidently anticipated—

Lord PALMERSTON desired that it should be so
decisive as to prevent the possibility of a di,s9lu-
tion—that appeal to the country, which was
so dreaded by the Cambridge House Gang.
A change, however, soon came o'er the spirit of
their dream. The brilliant and effective oration
of the Solicitor-Generai, one of the most lucid and
argumentative that had electrified the Legisla-
ture for many years, occasioned deep dismay to
the Opposition. Mr. RORRUCK, Mr. HARDY, Sir
Row. per, and the Attorney-General for Ireland
followed with tremendous force, inflicting terrible
damage on their opponents—met only by the
dreary prose of Sir C.
w
The anticipated majority°;D and Sir G. C. LRWIS.
apidly fell from 120 to
80, then to 60, 40, and finally a score. Even
that would have sufficed ; but, unfortunately,

VIOLET BANK AND ITS INMATES,
" The outline of this charming tale would afford a very im-
perfect idea of the merits of the book. Intereqing as the story is,
fall of starting incidenes and well-wrought crises, yet its chief value
lies elsewhere. The conception and delineation of character, tie
pure good feeling, ihe skill and gentle art with which the growth of
sentiment and the fl iw of events are brought on, the graceful play-
fulness and perception of humour, combine to form a tale delightful
to peruse, gratifying to recollect."—Glo•. e.

About 52,000/ of go,d by tile Kau, .14cket was sent
into the Bird' yesterday. A. large
portion of the re-
mainder has been taken for the Continent, as well as all
that was left of the recent arrivals from Australia and

Arrangements have been concluded by the B-azilian
Minister in London with Messrs. Rothschild for a
Brazilian 41 per cent. loan of 1,500,0001., the precise
conditions of which will be coininuni,!ated to the S ock
Ezcbange on Monday. Tne amount is to be appro-
priated to the completion of the Dom Pedro Railway,
on the shares of which the Government has guaranteed
an interest of 7 per cent. The difference between this
7 per cent. and the 41 per cent. to be paid on the loan,
is intended to be applied as a sinking fund.
THE SUSPECTED MURDER IN THE REGENT'S CANAL
Yesterday afternoon the adjourned investigation in this
case was resumed and concluded. The jury, after a
abort consultation, returned the following verdict :
" That the deceased was found dead in the Regent't,
canal, with exPensive marks of violence on the body and
limbs, but how or by what means the injuries were
caused, or the manner in which the deceased came into
the water, they had no legal evidence to prove ; but the
jury are deeply impressed with the opinion that the
wounds were inflicted before in2mersini in the water."

DEFEAT OF FACTION AND TRIUMPH

OF JUSTICE.

The triumph of the Government, announced last night
amidst cheers and acclamations from both aides, that one
of the most complgte and unmistakeable that the House of
Commons has perfiaps ever witnessed, and, in proportion
as the Victory was great, the defeat of the Cambridge
House Conspirators was signal and undisguised. With
the affectation of a prude, Mr. Cardwell at first declined to
withdraw his Jesuitic Resolution. But when he found that
men of his own party—recipients of the " beautifully en-
graved tickets," and ardent expectants of office under the
cominc, Palmerston Oligarchy—were even compelled, by a
sense of rude justice, to announce their opposition to the Re
solution—when, too, the great demigod, Palmerston him-
self, saw a mo ,e by which he could avoid completely and for
ever damning the last rag of character for Statesman-
ship which belonged to him, and suggested that his pro-
tege, Cardwell, " might" do so ; tben the renegade Peelite
consented, with as bad grace as possible, to place himself
in the hands of the Commons ! Miserable finale this of all
the " special services" at Cambridge House ! The history
of this extraordinary Plot will not be without its value to
the future Government of the Empire. Some useful
lessons may be deduced from the unprincipled and selfish
struggle for regaining the emoluments of office, which w e
trust will not be lost to the country. All honour to those
really Independent Members of the Liberal party, who
could not be seduced from the clear path of duty by the
blandishments of Hayterism. May this honourable part
of their conduct be duly remembered, when next they
shall be brought face to face with their constituents !

MARSHAL PELISSIER AND TEE DUKE
D'AUMALE.

The Nord publishes the following anecdote, the
responsibility of which we leave to that journal :
"The salons of Paris are much occupied with an inter-
view said to have taken place between the Duke D'Aurnale
and Marshal Pelissier. As so many erroneous statements
have been made I will tell you exactly what happened
Marshal Pelissier was taking a drive in Hyde-park• A car-
riage passed his. The Marshal was not aware who was in
the carriage, but one of his aides-de camp who was sitting
in front told him it was the carriage of the Duke d'Aumale.
The Marshal immediately ordered his coachman to drive
dongside the carriage, which had passed him. When he
came up with the Duke's carriage the Marshal rose and
bowed to him. The Prince ordered his carriage to stop
and returned the salute. The Marshal the, addressed the
Prince as follows:—' Monseigneur, I am happy to have
this opportunity of presenting my respects to you and
asking after your health.' And I,' said the Prince, 'am
happy to see you and to shake hands with you.' A shak-
ing of bands immediately followed. A few 'complimentary
words were exchanged and the carriages separated. Tins is
all that took place. It must bo remembered that Marshal
Pelissier served for some time in Algeria under the orders
of the Duke d'Aumale."

If** We believe we may add that the Duke
d'Aumale and the Marshal met at a small dinner
party a few days afterwards.

THE LATE BOILER EXPLOSION AT

MANCLIES7'BR.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.
The adjourned inquiry into the cause of this
distressing occurrence was resumed this morning
before Mr. E. Herford, city coroner, and the jury
Previously sworn, at the Coroner's Court, Ridge-
field.

• ,
Mr. Heelis, solicitor, again attended to watch
the inquiry on behalf of Messrs. Sharp, Stewart,
and Co.; the proprietors of the Atlas Works. Mr.
J. C. Forsyth, brother of the deceased manager,
was present again, as also were several members
of the firm.

The inquiry being one of great interest, several
engineers were present, professionally and other-
wise. Tim court was crowded. _ _

The evidence given was entirely of a professional
kind, Mr. Fairbairn and other engineers being
examined. From their testimony it appeared that
there had been no neglect or want of skill in the
construction of the 13,iler, or the management of
the engine. There was stated, however, to be a
defec.t of str ngth in the exploded plate, arisingfrom
the presexce of patches of Inferior iron in its
in body,
which could no be seen before breakage. Mr.
Fait bairn.,refcrenee to this, said—"lnexplana-
tion of such defect of manufacture, we have only.
to refer to the acknowledged difficulties which iron•
makershave to encounter in rolling plates of large
dimensions,. There is considerable danger of the
ends bacoming defective, and this happens with
the very beat makers." Verdict—" Accidental
death."

THE EAST.

A letter from Belgrade of the 30th ult. says :
"The telegraphic despatch so long expected from
Constantinople, and promising complete satisfaction
for the outrage on the English;Consul-General, ar-
rived here yesterday. The soldier who committed the
outrage is to be tried at Constantinople, and to be
publicly executed ; the others are to be severely
punished. The English ambassador, Sir H. Bul-
wer, arrived this day in the steamer Hildegarde.
On landing he was received by the Minister
Garachapin, who saluted him in the name of the
Prince and Senate of Servia, ; and military honours
were paid him by a detatchment of Servian infantry
and a battalion of Turkish regulars. His Excel-
lency proceeded to an hotel, where a guard of
honour, composed of Servian and Turkish troops,
was collected. He is to leave to-morrow in the
steamer Diana for Orsova, and intends to stop
there two days in order to visit the baths of
Mehadia ; he is afterwards to go to Galatz, where
he will find an English vessel of war to convey him
to Constantinople."
London, England, 1858-07-10

TRAIN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

Consequcnc9s of a most serious nature were
nearly arising on Thursday afternoon out of the
thunderstorm which passed over Birmingham and
South Staffordshire at that time. The 4 o'clock
train left Birmingham for Wolverhampton on tho
Stour Valley line amidst a hravy shower of lain
and hail. After about 20 minutes the train out-
stripped the shower, but when at Deepfieldi it was
again overtaken, and struck by the lightning. The
flash was followed by a report of a most unusual
sound, not that of a sudden explosion which often
accompanies very near thunder clap?, but resera-
blirg more the crack of a hundred rifles, exploded
close to the train.

The report and the flash were almost simul-
taneous. The engine driver and stoker felt them-
selves wrapped round in a sheet of blue flame—the
stoker experiencing a shock on the back of the head,
which for a time rendered him insensible. Every
person in the train felt the shock, those who were
nearest to the door on the off side more o than the
rest, the lightning having the appearance of run-
ning along the rail on that sidA. One of the pas-
sengers, Mr. B. Hicklin, in the commission of the
peace fur the borough of Wolverhampton, was
struck upon the right arm and knocked to the op-
posite side of the carriage in which he was riding.
The guard, H. Rixam, was standing up in the train
at the time, applym4 the brake. He ap-
Fara to have sustained the greatest shock.
an instant his whole system was paralysed.
On arriving at the station, however, at Deep thids,
he was enabled to st igger out of his van, with the
intention of attending to his duties. The station-
master there found him reeling as though drunk,
with his hand to li s head, and held him up.
If he had net done so, Rixam would certainly
have fallen off the platf, rm upt n the line. The
station-master helped him back into his van, and
put a porter with him to take charge of the train.
On arriving at Wolverhampton, the guard was w-
sisted into the inspector's office, and some brandy
and water administered to him. After a while he
was enabled with some difficulty to proceed home.
At Wolverhaml,ten, also, Mr. Hicklin appeared to
he suffering considerably from the shock which he
had experienced, and complained of the benumbed
sensation in his arm.

It is dreadful to contemplate the shocking results
that would have followed both driver and stoker
becoming incvacitated under such circumstances.
London, England, 1858-07-10

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg says :—" Some
foreign journals have represented that the emanci-
pation of the peasants encounters passive opposition
on the part of the nobles, and as a proof of it assert
that only a small number of Governments have
formed committees of emancipation. But these
statements are erroneous, as is-proved by the fact
that in not fewer than 38 Governments, in which
there are 9,713,000 serfs, committees of emanci-
pation have been formed." The same letter says :
—" It has been alleged that the assembling
of troops which is to take place in Poland is destined
to exercise a pressure o❑ the Cabinet of Vienna, in
order to obtain a revision of the treaty which placed
Cracow under the domination of Austria. That also
16 au iuti c cation svich hal rot the sh!rentest foun-
dation. The assembling of the troop°
for no other object, as already stated, than to have
them passed in review by the Emperor."
