THE CAGLIARI.

Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Under Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, -,bether the Government had settled
the amount that ought to ba claimed as c.irnimasAtion
from the Neapolitan Government for the engineers of
the Cagliari, tVal and Park ; and, if so, whether the
demand had ben actus.!ly tnaie, or whether it had been
left to arbitration under the arrangements suggested at
the rneetieg of the C,)iigress of Paris ?
Mr. CRA.WFORD put a question to the Under-
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, of which he had given
notice, relative to V.v.; statera.mt in the morning paper;
of wt at had passed in the Turin Chambere, relative to
the negotiations between this country and Sardinil,
which was different to the statement made by tbo boo.
gentleman to that house on a former occasion.

- Mr. S. FITZGERALD, in reply to the la t qweitims,
appealed to the house whether anything was more un-
usua!—(cheers)—u3ore ioenvenient, or more unfair,
than that questions of this kind should be put with ,ut
previous n,,tie3 ? (Cheers.) In reply to the other ques-
tion, the right kon. gentleman ,aid her Mjesty's G,-
vernment had iost-uct,d Mr. Lyons as to the definite
earn to be demanded as emnpensatiou from the Neapo-
litan Governmvnt.

try, or of the majority of the people. Twenty-five
years' votes of the House of Commons must, at least,
represent the authority of the nation. Should the
question of Jewish Disabilities be ever brought
before the Law Courts again, through the course
taken by the House of Commons, the real ques-
tion would be this—Shall the Lords, by a
technical, but thoroughly fraudulent use of
law, be enabled to override the autho-
rity and insult the majesty of the whole
nation ? We await with some interest the recep-
tion of " Reasons" in a House of Lords—amongst
the reasons a majority of 113 against their
amendments, and a threat of doing without them.
We can hardly conceive that threats will have
more weight than reasons ; so, the result of
twenty-five years of the mountain in labour will
probably be that with Sir R. BETHELL as
accoucheur, a ridiculous Resolution, not a great
Bill, will be brought forth.
The episode in the debate respecting placing
Baron ROTHSCHILD on the committee for devising
" reasons " which should move the Lords, was
amusing enough. It would appear that the pre-
cedent cited by Mr. DONCOMBE is as clear as
could be wished. It will certainly be a curious
fact if it be decided to-day that Baron ROTHS-
, CHILD can sit without danger on committees,
which by their reports may change our laws, and
the very destiny of the empire, while he yet can-
! not sit and vote in the House itself.

PASSENGERS FROM INDIA.

The Calcutta passengers, by the Colombo, con-
sisted of wounded officers, widowed ladies, and per-
,ons who had suffered loss of property or relatives
in different parts of the Bengal Presidency. Mrs.
Soppitt, the wife of Lieut. Soppitt, was the lady
who was confined during the secret and masterly re-
treat of Sir Colin Campbell from Lucknow to Cawn-
pore. Her infant, born amidst terror and confu-
sion, was landed at Southampton yesterday.

Many of the Lucknow passengers ou board the
Colombo scarcely ceased talking about their miracu-
lous escape, which was entirely owing to the
cowardice of the Pandies and their dread of coming
to close quarters with Englishmen. The latter
were but a handful to their enemies, and were
only on the opposite side of a street, as it were,
without any defence but the bayonet, of which, in
the hands of the English, the Sepoy had an insur-
mountable dread. Some of th© Colombo's passen-
gers lived in Lucknow, close to the fire of that ter-
rible eunuch whose unerring aim with his rifle has
been already spoken of in the papers. If a person
in the beleaguered garrison but exposed a finger, it
was certain wbe hit by him. &range to say, his
skill was admired even by the English, who suf-
fered so much from it. Thissplendid shot was tum-
bled over by the explosion of a mine.
About 10 of the Colombo's passengers received
pecuniary relief from Jolm White, Eq., the mayor
of Southampton, to the amount of 101. each, out
of the Italian Fund. _

Mrs. Gall, mentioned above, was one of the
hospital Nightingales at Lucknow ; her husband
w4s killed while carrying despatches from Sir J.
Lawrence to Lord Canning. Mr. Geoffri was a
tradesman in Lucknow, and was the first volunteer
to bring the English ladies and children of Seeta-
pore into the former city for prot, ction, which was
successfully- accomplished. Poor Mrs. Graham I,st
two children and her husband during the siege.
Mrs. Sago was attached to the Christian girls'-school
at Lucknow ; she lost her husband. Mrs. Sinclair's
husband was a Lucknow merchant ; she kept a
school at Allahabad for 16 years ; her son lost
au arm at Lucknow. Mrs. Fullerton lost her hus-
band and a child at the great siege.

BRIDaE OVER THE REGENT'S CANAL.

Mr. WYLD asked the First Commissioner of Works,
if it was in'endEd to widen a;4l enlarge the bride over
the Regent's Canal (near the Glouce,ter Gate), in com-
pliance with the request contained in the memorial of
the i❑babitauts of the Regent's-park and its neighbour-
hood

Lord J. MANNERS said he had looked carefulTy into
the whole of this question since a deputatio❑ called upon
him in reference to it, and he was of opinion that if the
bridge was widened it must be done at the expense of
those in the locality, and not by the Government. The
question had therefore better be addressed to the repre-
sentatives of the Vestry in the parish in which the
bridge is situated.

Va. R. HOWARD, burgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
_g street, has ntroduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
teICIAL TEETH ,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
erreetly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
tecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
ruts method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
a?eration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most wino-
meal, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale pOssible. De-
cayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in Magi"'
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At home from ten till five.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Justice Coleridge and

a Common Jury.)
FRANCIS V. STURLEY-LIBEL.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, collector
of rates fur the lower district of St. George's East, Coln•
mercial-road, to recover compensation in damages for
libel. The defendant pleaded not guilty. It appeared
from the evidence that Mr. Frazer, collector of the
Upper District, had been a defaulter to the extent
of about 5001., and the defendant, who ill
the publisher of a cheap weekly paper in the
district, had inserted in it a letter reflecting on
the p'laintiff's character as one of the collectors for the
parish, and insinuating that he was in arrears as well
as Frazer. The defendant did not appear. The pub-
lication of the letter in question was proved by the
admission of the defendant, signed by his attorney.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damagegs

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
IMPORTANT QUESTION.-RAILWAY COMPANIES AND Ta
PUBLIC.--WRIGHT V. THE LONDON AND NORTEPing.
TERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

In this case plaintiff sought to recover the sum of
3/. 4g., for damages sustained through the negligence of
defendents' servants to some casks of china, while in
transit upon defendents' railway, or while in custody of
defendents' servants.

The learned counsel, who repreiented the nompanh
said that hie clients were not liable under the following
circumstances :—A. cask of goods is consigned to plain'
tiff, from a manufacturer at Stoke, and these goods. are
delivered to the London and North Staffordshire, and
from the North Staffordshire, in course of transit, to
the London and North-Western. Now the damage
must be actually proved and brought home to the North-
Western before they can be sued. Plaintiff's proper
course would have been to have sued the North Staf•
fordshire, they alone being responsible. The case bad
been decided before. Plaintiff said he wrote to the Lon-
don and North Staffordshire Railway and received for
an answer that the letters were issued to the London.
and North Western.

Defendant's Counsel—Mr. Miller, secretary of the
North Staffordshire, informed us that he had an objet'
tion to settling plaintiff's claim on the ground that the
baskets of china were worth above 10/. and not de'
Glared.

His Honour—l should like to see the note given to
the person who received the goods, it ought to be pro•
duced.

The learned counsel said the plaintiff's course svni
clear, Baron Rolfe had decided that the responsible
party was the railway first receiving the goods.
His Honour thought it was a question of so much im-
portance to the public, that to give plaintiff an 01)P?r.
tunity of proving a contract or some agreement with
,
something or somebody and thus under some one liable,
he would give a nonsuit with no costs.

try, or of the majority of the people. Twenty-five
years' votes of the House of Commons must, at least,
represent the authority of the nation. Should the
question of Jewish Disabilities be ever brought
before the Law Courts again, through the course
taken by the House of Commons, the real ques-
tion would be this—Shall the Lords, by a
technical, but thoroughly fraudulent use of
law, be enabled to override the autho •
rity and insult the majesty of the whole
nation ? We await with some interest the recep-
tion of " Reasons" in a House of Lords—amongst
the reasons a majority of 113 against their
amendments, and a threat of doing without them.
We can hardly conceive that threats will have
more weight than reasons ; so, the result of
twenty-five years of the mountain in labour will
probably be that with Sir R. BET/JELL as
accoucheur, a ridiculous Resolution, not a great
Bill, will be brought forth.

The episode in the debate respecting placing
Baron ROTHSCHILD on the committee fur devising
"reasons " which should move the Lords, was
amusing enough. It would appear that the pre-
cedent cited by Mr. DUNCOMBE is as clear as
could be wished. It will certainly be a curious
fact if it be decided to-day that Baron ROTHS-
CHILD can sit without danger on committees,
which by their reports may change our laws, and
the very destiny of the empire, while he yet can-
not sit and vote in the House, itself.

Gardener to Boswell Middleton Jalland, Esq., of Holderness-house,

"I have had 400 feet of your Gutta Percha Tubing, in lengths of
100 feet each, with union joint, in use for the last twelve months for
watering these gardens, and I find it to answer better than any-
thing I have ever yet tried.
" The pressure of the water is very considerable, but this has not
the slightest effect on the tubing.
" I consider tnis tubing to be a most valuable invention for gar-
deners, inasmuch as it enables us to water our gardens in about one-
hal the :ime, and with one half the labour formerly required.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1858.

The Palmerstonians have " screwed their cou-
rage to the sticking place," and not the less
readily, because they are enabled to fight under
false colours and to discharge their envenomed
shafts from behind what ought to be a neutral
shield. Mr. CA RDWELL has consented to become
the tool of the party, ready to do their dirty work,
and doubtless for a suitable con-si-de-ra-tion in
future, should he succeed in replacing the quon-
dam " First Lord of the Jokery" for the Earl of
Mutat t But although the Sabbath-day conspi-
rators have obtained such an ally, it does not by
any means follow that they oan ensnare the really
Liberal members of the House of Commons, or
induce them to stray into the palpable trap. It
is true that the terms of the motion are cunningly
framed to catch doubtful votes ; that it cau-
tiously abstains from efpressing any opinion upon
the policy of any proclamation which may have
been issued by the Governor-General in relation
to Oude. But nevertheless it is to all intents and
purposes a deliberate vote of censure intended
to lead to a Ministerial Crisis. There are few
professing Liberals, no disinterested or unpre-
judiced persons, who can be deluded by the flimsy
mask under whiCh the real object is attempted to
be screened, not concealed. The intent is obvious.
Indeed, the indecent exultation of the organs of
Lord PAIMIRSTON in the Press renders the motive
too painfully notorious to admit of doubt or
difficulty.
But will the Government suffer themselves to
be thus bamboozled, even in the event of a
hostile vote. We do not believe that the reso-
lution can be carried. On the contrary, it ought,
and we believe will, be rejected by a very decided
majority. But it is right to be prepared on
every point, and to determine beforehand the
course to be adopted in the event of an untoward
result. There is nothing in the resolution ap-
proving of the confiscation of the entire soil of
°tide, or of casting the onus on innocent persons,
of proving anegative before they can be permitted
to retain the estates that had fur a series of ages
been in the possession of their ancestors. It is a
wise principle of the British lawh,that.e.very man
is
mtn't be deemed innocent until
guilt has been
esto.blisbed by unexceptionable evidence. But
Lord CANNING has reversed the-
rule. He treats
(wary man as if he was guilty, leaving it, for biro
to establish his innocence to the satisfaction of
military commissioners—men who, though they
might not willingly do wrong, are still not well
qualified to weigh conflicting evidence, and might
Possibly be actuated by a technical sense of guilt,
such as our own police and detectives feel.
We have said that the real question at issue is

Tha total receipts (including rents, &c.) of this
company's railways (less the cost of collection and
delivery) hive amounted, from January 1. to May 2,
1858, to 146,3971.; and the total expenses (includ-
ing rents, tolls, duty, &c.) to 89.059/., against
84,1981. at the c »revondina period of 1857, leav-
ing a balance of net profit of 57,3471. The propor-
tion of South Junction, &c., receipts accruicg to
this company from January 1 to Msy 2, 1858,
amounted to 7,4141., as against 7,226/. for the
corrcsponditsg period of 1857 ; and the expenses
amounted to 4,370/., as against 3,628/. for the

—that connected with the direct line from Paris to
the Mediterranean being one, and that forming

Aubagne, on the Toulon branch, in the month of
Sepiember next. • The two great tunnels between
Marseilles and Toulon were pierced throughout,
and the whole of the line would be completed by
the spring i:f 1859. The expenses to be incurred
in 1858 were estimated at 45, 200, 000 f. (1, 808,0000.
The expenditure. on all the lines in 1858 would be
met first by the amount of the calls on the new
shares and by an issue of bonds to the extent of
40,500,000 f. (1,620,0001.), which would leave a
surplus of 5,208,412 t. (208,3361.). The gross
receip:s amounted to 76 610,255 f. (3,064,4101.)
and the expenditure to 30,345,216 f. (1,213,8091.),
leaving a surp!us of 46,265,039 f. (1,80,6111),
which sum, when all the charges of interest, reserve
fund, stamps, cCc , were paid, would give a
dividend of 53f. per share, of which 20f. had been
