CONSECRATION OF THE NEW CHURCH OF ST.
BARNABAS, SOUTH LAIIBETI-I.—The above church, which
has been erected by voluntary contribution, was this morning
consecrated with the usual ceremony by the Lord Bishop of
Winchester, attended by his chaplain, registrar, irc.i &c., in
the presence of the Venerable Archdeacon of Surrey, the
Rev. C. B. Dalton, Rector of Lambeth, the Rev. Mr. Harker,
the new incumbent, and about twenty of the district clergy.
GRAND SCOTTISH FETE IN HOLLAND PARK.—
The grand Scottish fete is fixed to take place this year on
Monday, Ist, and Tuesday, July 2d, in Holland Park, the use
of which has on a former occasion been kindly granted to the
Scottish Society by Lord Rolland. There will be a grand
competition for the championship in archery and the Scottish
national sports and pastimes under. the joint direction of the
Highland Society and of the Scottish Society. The members
of several archery clubs have enrolled themselves as com-
petitors. The fete is under the joint patronage of the Queen
and Prince Albert, and Mr. A. Mackay, her Majesty's piper,
will be (by special permission) in attendance. We believe
this will be the most magnificent fit of the season.

EXTRAORDINARY FISHING.—On Thursday last,
Mr. Radmore, of the Globe Hotel, and a friend, while fishing
on the whiting ground, about three miles inside the Eddy-
stone, in a free yacht, hooked a bottle-nosed shark, about 30
inches long, which he secured without much difficulty. In a
short time afterwards a tremendous pull on one of the lines
indicated that another ugly customer had taken the hook;
and after three quarters of an hour's play, if it might be so
called—but more correctly speaking, it should be termed
hard work—" a monster shark," of the blue species, was
brought, by the excellent management and extended patience
of these gentlemen, to the edge of .the water, almost in an
exhausted state; a bight of a rope was then slung just
within its tail, and it was safely got into the boat. It mea-
sured 6 feet 2 inches in length, and weighed about 60lbA.
What renders the fact of such a large fish being taken tinder
such circumstances more extraordinary, is that the gear in
use was of a fine description, simply adapted for whiting
fishing. These extraordinary fish were brought to the Globe
in the eYening, and formed a subject for the curious in these
matters to examine. The party were successful in their
sport, as they took twenty dozen fine whiting and bream.—

EARTIIQUAKE.—A smart shock of an earthquake
was felt in Comrie at a nuarter to nine o' clock on the morn-
ing of Saturday last, accompanied by a loudru mblsincgotnnoniasne
which appeared to proceed from under the houses.—

GERMANY.

The Prince of PRUSSIA arrived at Berlin on the
morning of the 19th, and, after a conference with the
Ministers, proceeded to Potsdam. The same evening
he was to go on to Ostend, and thence to London.
" This journey," says the Cologne Gazette, "may be
considered as very important fur the affairs of Europe
in general."
The Prince of PRUSSIA was in England in the
spring of 1848, and was in constant communication
with the Lieve-Guizot-Metternich
.clique, which
planned the reactionary proceedings going on ever
since in Europe, and which got up the ex-
pulsion of Sir lIENar BULITBE from Madrid, in
hopes of at the same time of ejecting Lord PALMERS-
TON from office. He was in constant com-
munication with cet excellent ABERDEEN, and the
Tory chiefs of the Russian party here, and he
now arrives in England post haste from the Emperor
of RUSSIA at Warsaw, on the eve of a debate on the
foreign policy, on the event of which the existence of
the Ministry depends. Is he the bearer of any com-
munication from the AUTOCRAT to the English ser-
viles, as to the personnel and policy of the new Rus
sian Ministry which they hope to inagurate in
England on the downfal of the English Minister,
Lord PALMERSTON ?
On the 19th the tribunal of Griefswold found M.
DE IIASSENFLUG, President of the Council of Ministers
of Electoral Hesse. and Plenipotentiary of Hesse to
the Congress of Frankfort, guilty of misappropri-
ating the public funds as a Prussian Minister, and
passed on him a sentence of a fortnight's imprison-
ment, the repayment of the sum misappropriated, and
payment of the costs ; and also declared him inca-
pable of filling any public office in the Prussian ter-
ritories.

The Provisional College of the Princes held a sit-
ting at Berlin, on the 20th, and appointed a coin.
mittee to draw up a code of regulations. Art. 181
of the Constitution declares that the judgments of the
German tribunals were to be executed in all the ter-
ritories of the Union, and that a law was to fix after-
wards the rule in that respect. The College of the
Princes has decided that the Governments are to be
invited to transmit to it the laws and treaties concern-
ing the matter, and to communicate their own views
respecting it. The PRESIDENT announced that the
Minister of the Interior would speedily send a com-
munication relative to the diplomatic negotiations
concerning the Union.

A letter from Frankfort says it has just been de-
cided that no state can take part in the deliberations
of the plenary assembly unless it recognises that body
as having a legal existence according to the federal
compact, and thereupon Prussia received a reply al-
together negative to the propositions which she had
made in the interest of union. The plenipoten
tiaries have demanded new instructions, and await
the resolution of the Prussian Minister.
The new Gazette of Munich states that Connt DE
BEENSTOFF, the Prussian Ambassador at Vienna,
has received instructions for regulating the question
in dispute relative to the affair of Germany, and
particularly what concerns the position of the Federal
Assembly.

flexion had ceased between the plaintiff and his wife
for ten years, and that he had really never interfered
with her course of life or tried to induce her to return
to him.

The LORD CHIEF BARON asked whether, under
the circumstances, it was worth while to take up any
further time?
Mr. MARTIN, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Temple),
fir the defendant, said that the lady and the defendant
had been most cruelly persecuted by the plaintiff ;
but the Learned Gentleman was interrupted by
The LORD CHIEF B utori, who said—l do not
wish to know more of the case than is sufficient to
enable the Court and the jury to do justice between
the two parties to the action before us.
Mr. MARTIN—The Ecclesiastical Court pronounced
the separation on the ground of cruelty and adultery
of the husband.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—If a man permit his
wife to live with another man for so many years with-
out endeavouring to prevent the intercourse, or to in-
duce her to abandon it, he cannot maintain an action
for criminal conversation ; the verdict must neces-
sarily be for the defendant.
The jury returned a verdict accordingly.

to isolate him in his own country. But who
are these people who assume the right of dic-
tating what their neighbour may, or may not do, on
the Sunday ? For the most part, the petitions
against Sundeir trading and Sunday postage have
originated with religious congregations, only .re-
markable for their ignorance and affected scantity.
These persons claim the right of chosing their own
mode of spending the Sabbath, but they deny their
neighbours the same privilege. They are at all times
themselves extremely jealous of any infringement
upon what they call religious liberty ; but theirs is
the one-sided liberty of having their own way, and
dictating to, their neighbours. The impertinent and
mischievous efforts of these affected saints to abridge
public freedom, ought to be and must be resisted. Intole-
rance possesses no discretion. Give sanctity its own
way, and it will establish 'a domestic tyranny more
'oppressive and hateful than the Worst of modern Go-
vernments. Permit the saints to interfere with the
sale and transmission by post of weekly publications,
whether newspapers or otherwise, and they will not
,be slow to improve their advantage. They will not
be satisfied with dictating what the people may not
read, but what they must read. Sermons, society
tract., missionary reports, and similar productions,
will be made to form the edifying Sunday reading,
and compulsory attendance at church or chapel the
agreeable Sunday recreation of-the people. The in-
tolerant spirit which dictates these measure ought to
be resolutely resisted by the people.

THE WRECK OF THE ORION.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY NIGUT.—The arrival of the
Admiral this evening from the wreck of the Orion
has placed us in possession of the latest particulars.
The Admiral left the wreck at 8 30 this morning.
Nothing- remained visible excepting two of the masts,
the funnel having bees washed away 1411 Saturday
night.
The weather being boisterous on Saturday, the
divers were unable to work. Some differences had
also occurred with them, by which delay had been
caused.
The body of Mr. Thomas Murrich had been re-
covered. He had on his person a gold watch and 12
sovereigns. Mr. Marshall's writing-desk, containing
valuable papers, bad been recovered.
Captain Henderson remained on the spot. The
second-mate was under arrest.

IMPORTANT ARREST.—Among th 9, passengers that
arrived at this port on Saturday, 31st of May, in the packet-
ship Yorkshire, were two individuals who were very poorly
clad, but had in their possession some `4OOO/., which was
snugly placed in a carpet-bag. After the arrival of the
vessel they deposited the large amount of money with
Messrs. Taber and Bagley, for safe keeping; and then
seemed perfectly at ease and secure until the steam-ship
Asia arrived, which brought their full description, and the
news that they were formerly clerks in the Bank of Ireland,
Cork, and had absconded with a heavy amount of specie and
bank notes of various denominations. They were imme-
diately taken prisoners.—New York Sun.

Madrid journals of the 23d have arrived.
There has been another row at the Palace. The
KING Consort it appears turned sulky, as he alway
does after an interview with Father FULGENCIO, and
declared that on the accouchement of the QUEEN, he
should quit Spain and publish a manifesto to the
world. NARYAEZ was sent for,: and a Council was
held, at which the KING'S presence was required. He
refused to attend and was at once placed under
arrest. While in durance he was visited by Queen
CHRISTINA, who brought him to the Council, where
he apologised for his conduct and promised to behave
better for the future. There are rumours that he is
merely the tool of certain personages, who, unless
careful in their conduct, may find themselves some
fine morning travelling under guard to the fronti4r.

LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 29, 1850.

A question of the deepest and most vital import-
ance to the tranquillity and security of the Anglo-
Indian Empire will to-morrow evening be brought
under the consideration of the British Senate. Sir
EDWARD COLEBROOKE has given notice that he will
then move for a " Select Committee to inquire into
the rights of succession of the allied and dependent
Princes of India." Every exertion will unquestion-
ably be made to avoid discussion, and to get rid of
the inconvenient topic by a side wind. The ordinary
ruse of" counting out of the House" will, if possible,
be resorted to, and we would emphatically warn tb e
chosen representatives of the people in due time of '
the intention, in order that they should attend in
their places on the occasion, and that they
should not, by their culpable negligence and apathy,
permit the august assembly of which they are mem-
bers to be brought into contempt and disrepute by
the success of an expedient so stale and paltry.
It is the noblest characteristic of the British Par,
liament that it is ever ready to attend to the remon-
strances of the oppressed and injured, however lowly
and humble, that every well-founded complaint shall
receive an anxious and attentive consideration. Any
alleged violation of the existing laws, or any acknow-
ledged deficiency therein, to meet a particular case,
will be fully investigated, and ample justice
the aggrieved parties, and this, not
only
e
where they have received actual damage, but
where there is reasonable cause to suppose
that such may be inflicted at any future
period. The love of justice is deeply im-
planted in English hearts, andnothing willmore
powerfully excite the public indignation than any
indifference to that sacred principle. If " might
could prevail over right " on any occasion, or under
any cirelunstinces, the constitutional rights and fiber. 1

ATTEMPTED MURDER.

A very painful sensation prevailed during the whole
of yesterday in the immediate vicinity of Drury-lane, in
consequence of a report that Donovan, the pugilist, had
murdered his wife, by throwing her out of the window.
From careful inquiries made the reporter ascertained
that the unfortunate woman had been thrown out of the
window, and the injuries she thereby received prevent
the possibility of her recovery.
Donovan, who follows the trade of a blacksmith when
not in training for pugilistic encounters, resides at
No. 17, Short's-gardens, Drury-lane, and on Saturday
night was drinking with his wife at a public-house in the
neighbourhood.. They both left when the house closed
at twelve o'clock, and they arrived at their home shortly
afterwards. Nothing was seen or heard of either of
them until about half-past one o'clock, when some of the
lodgers heard a• screaming and a cry of " Police" pro-
ceeding from D movan's room. The occupier of the
next house, who was sitting up, and who heard the
alarm, ran into Drury-'ane to procure assistance. He
met a policeman, to whom he said he was afraid a mur-
der was being committel in the next house to his own.
The officer without a moment's delay ran into Donovan's
house, when he found the various lodgers in the back
yard and the almost lifeless body of the wife.
Several other officers having arrived, they procured a
stretcher, on which the poor creature was placed, and
removed to King's College Hospital. Police-constable
Gabb then went up stairs to Donovan's room, on the
second fl where he found the mars leaning against the
wall. A Mile girl, who was in the room crying, informed
the constable that her father had thrown her mother out
of window. The officer thereupon told Donovan that
be must consider himself in custody f ir the murder of his
wife. Donovan replied, " Oh, well, I will go with you,
but she did it herself; she threw herself out of window."
The man was then removed to Bow-street police station,
where he was locked up. The little girl, and a younger
child asleep in the room, were removed to the workhouse.
When the unfortunate woman reach .d the hospital
her skull was found to be fractured, and her forehead
completely beaten in. Her ribs were alt broken, and
her left side terribly injured. At two o'clock yesterday
,afternoon Professor Ferguson, the physician to the

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Linda di C'hamouni was performed on Saturday for the
purpose of introducing a new contralto, Mdlle. Ida
Bertrand, in the character of Pierotto. Mdlle. Ida
Bertrand in figure, in features, in voice, and in
manner bears a striking resemblance to Brambilla
in her best days, with this advantage, that her
intonation is pure and perfect, and has none of
that uncertainty which was the great defect of
the voice of Brambilla. She acts, too, with more
spirit and energy than did Brambilla, while at the same time
she is most graceful. She sung the air "Per sua Madre"
with great expression and feeling, and achieved a
perfect triumph in the duet with Madame Son-
tag in the second act, " Allor ch' io passo," which
was rapturously encored. She was called on at the
conclusion of the second act, and again the end of the opera.
Of the Linda of Madame Sontag it is impossible to
speak in terms of too high eulogy. As Voltaire
said of Racine, so we are compelled to say
of Madame Sontag, "Perfect, perfect." Whether we regard
her Linda as a piece of vocalization witness the
beautiful " Luce di quest anima," and the duets with
Carlo and with Pierotto ; or as a histrionic performance—
witness the scene in which she leaves her home in the first
act— witness the scene with her father at the conclusion of
the second act—it is " perfect." Signor Baucardi appeared as
Carlo, and sung and acted delightfully. He gave the duet "Da
quel di" with great taste, and was deservedly encored in the ",Se
unto in ira." His singing is full of delicate and pathetic ex-
pression. We perceive he is to appear on Thursday as Elvino,
in the Sonnambula, a part in which we expect he will be very
great. Coletti was magnificent as Antonio, Beletti very good
as the Prefetto, and F. Lablache an admirable Marquis.
His comic humour is of the richest quality.
The Truandaise was dar ced between the acts of the opera,
and Les .Metamorphoses concluded the performances. The
house was crowded to suffocation in every part ; even stand-
ing room was at a premium in pit and gallery, and every
stall was occupied,
