SOUTH trARK.

Mr. George
Humphreys,
of his bail, after having been detained in
custody at the station-house under the following cir-
cumstances

Inspector Maddock, of the South-Eastern Railway,
Company, stated that on the preceding night the de-
' fendant arrived by the half-past eleven o'clock train
' from Strood, and on alighting on the platform from a
first-class carriage he announced that be had been
robbed of 100/., in two 50/. Bank of England notes,
on the journey. There were other passengers in the
carriage, who upon hearing that a robbery to so large
an amount had been committed, expressed their asto-
nishment, and at the same time stated their readiness
to undergo
any examination that might be considered
necessary, they having travelled in the same carriage
in which it was alleged a gentleman had been plun-
dered of so large a sum of money. He (the in-
spector) observing that the defendant was evi-
dently under the influence of liquor, advised
him to examine his pockets well to ascertain
whether he might not still have his property
about him, before it was found expedient to
adopt the suggestions of his fellow-travellers. The
defendant, however, still persisted that he was robbed
of his money, but said, "To convince you that it is
gone I shall turn my pockets inside out," and he then
commenced one by one to search them, when he at
length pulled out two 50/. Bank of England notes,
exclaiming,
"This is the money that I thought was
taken from me ;" and he was proceeding to walk away
without further ceremony when he was stopped by
the inspector, who gave him into the custody of a
policeman on the charge of drunkenness, and he was
detained at the station-house until he procured bail
for his appearance at this court, to answer the latter
charge.
Mr. Izeouatu asked the defendant whether he had
anything to say in answer to the charge of in-
toxication ? Defendant replied in the negative.
Mr. INGHAU then said, I shall fine you five shil-

PETITIONS.
Several petitions were presented against Sunday labour
in the Post-office.

Mr. WILSON presented a petition from Clitheroe
against any alteration in the Ten Hours Bill.
Similar petitions were presented by Sir Henry Wil-
loughby from Bolton, by Mr. Horuby from Lancashire,
by Lord T. Manners from 45 master manufactures, in-
cluding most of the principal master manufacturers of
Lancashire and Yorkshire.
Mr. ANDERSON presented a petition against any
alteration in the parochial school system of Scotland.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER presented a petition from
Alford against the increase of beer-houses.
Colonel FREESTUN presented a petition from the
resident ma;istrates, churchwardens, overseers, master
mariners, and upwards of 500 other inhabitants of the
Island of Portland, in the county of Dorset, praying
that the House will make no alteration in the postal ar-
rangements; and stating that a former petition presented
to the House, was unauthorised by the inhabitants gene-
rally, and signed in the churches, after Divine service,
thereby making them the theatres of political discussion,
a desecration which the petitioners conceived t,-) be of a
far more serious nature, than the travelling of the mails
and the delivery of letters on Sundays.
PROTECTION TO NATIVE INDUSTRY.

Mr. DRUMMOND gave notice that on early day he
should more a resolution to the effect that it was unjust
acd impolitic to impose any daty on the produce of the
labourers of this country while no duty was imposed on
foreign labour.
London, England, 1850-05-10

MR. BARON ALDERSON.

Sir G. GREY entered into an explanation of an error
which the reporters had fallen into last night in stating
that he had communicated with Mr. Baron Alderson on the
subject of the case of the Eastern Counties Railway Com-
pany. The repont in the papers was substantially correct,
but he altogether disclaimed the right of any Secretary of
State or Government to call upon any Learned
Judga for any explanation of what he may have
said in trying a civil case. (Hear, hear.)
There was a court of appeal to decide or adjust
errors of judgment on
,the part of the learned
judges, and no, Government ever had right to inter-
fere with its functions.—(Cheers.) What he did say
was, that a communication had passed between
the Under Secretary of State and Learned Judge on a
matter of fact, and not on the subject of the charge the
Learned Judge delivered on the case in question.
ALLEGED BRIBERY OF A MEMBER.

Mr. F. O'CONNOR seeing the Hon. Member for
Wicklow in his place, he wished to ask him whether
or no it Ras true as it had been reported in the newspapers
that the Hon. Member had stated at a meeting held in the
Rotunda, of Dublin, that he had been offered 5,000/, for
his vote in that House.—(ob, oh, and cries of "order.")
_ _

Mr. HENRY GRATTAN was understood to sa,
that it was not so.—(Order, order.)

THE LATE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.

Lord HOTHAM, after relating the circumstances
connected with the recent appointment of the
present Archbishop's son to a sinecure of-
fice, observed in explanation, that it had
been erroneously insinuated that the reason the late
Archbishop did fill up the office was, that he had no
son of his own to appoint to it, while it had been
stated equally without 'foundation in truth that Bill
which had teen passed for reforming these ecclesiastical
bishop's death, and that had he lived a little
longer,officesi thewas ooffinieey pwaosuseldd just before the late Arch-
have been filled up by him.
He thought the statements he had made would show
that the surmises which had been raised were tolally
without foundation. But the late Archbishop
had acted upon higher grounds ; he had acted
upon the principle that it was not competent
for him to fill up offices in reversion, and
he therefore declined to do so. In making the state-
ments he had done, he had no further object in view
than to rescue the late Archbishop from the stigmas
that had been ends avoured to be thrown upon him.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL bore testimony to the up-
right conduct of the late Archbishop. He believed that
both out of and in that House the highest respect was
entertained towards the late Right Rev. Prelate.
THE NEW HOUSE OF COMMONS.

In answer to a question from Mr. OSBORNE,
Mr. GREENE stated that he believed the New House
of Commons would be ready for the reception of Mem-
bers, merely for the purpose of experiment during the
next week.

IN RE BARBER.
At the sitt:ng of the Court this morning,
Serzeant WILKINS proceeded with his address on
behalf of Mr. Barber. He began by addres;-iog himself
t.° the facts connected with Slack's case. That trans-
tialen took place in October, 18,0. He contended that
2_191, letters written in this r a e were signed by Barber
from
Bureharo, and that Mr. Burcham,
.1.°41 his diary, had been much more concerned in
as appeared
It than Mr. Barber, inasmuch as Mr. Barber was a
g!:otver part of the time attending the Kingston As-
,,4s• He submitted that Fletcher had taken more pains
p deceive Mr. Barber than any other person, and that
Dby deep-laid scheme had succeeded in misleading both
and Mr. Burcham. The Learned Sergeant
continuedl. at great length to comment on the
;emaining charges made against his client, whose
.titiocence he sought to establish, contending
81,, he proceeded that the observations addressed to
1:1,(1 Court yesterday by Mr. Bovill involved a gross
t'el on Sir George Grey in the matter of the pardon
grai'ted to Mr. Barber. The Learned Counsel con-
cluded by g
y that he had undertaken the defence of
client from an imperative sense of duty, and his only
Ireward would be the consciousness that he had acted in
asdience to that duty. He asked no higher reward;
hif his efforts should be crowned with success,
lire should deem it the most felicitous day in his
;Lik integrity, (Mr. Sergeant Wilkins) had from the
Lery commencement of his professional life sought by
industry, and independence to attain to some-
,""ng like a high osition in it. If that were not fol-
lowed
b., by the higher rewards which some of the mem.-f
lees of his profession were so solicitous to secure, but it
f" himself could only live to see the day in which it
could be said that he had been the instrument of extri-
7e.tinrgfdrom misery and shame a man who had been un-
dseveiy
punished, he should indeed thank God for
his creation.
A Mr- Lusa followed on the same aide, and was ad-
uressin—

VICTORIA THEATRE.

The novelty for the current week at this theatre is
an original drama in two acts, entitled The Pirate of
Scio, which was produced for the first time on Mon-
day. It is founded on events that occurred during
the revolt of the Greeks at Scio, and their subsequent
massacre by the Turks. The plot is as follows :
Antonio Mavricordoti (➢ir. J. T. Johnson), while a
child, witnesses the murder of his father, and after-
wards the suicide of his mother, which has such an effect
upon him as to render him dumb, though be retains un-
impaired his other senses. Arrived at maturity he be-
comes the captain of a crew of pirates, and makes his po-
sition subservient t 3 the execution of a vow of venge-
ance on the murderer of his parent. He arrives iu
England, and discovers that Mr. Harcourt (Mr. Ne-
ville),l who was formerly English consul at Scio,
and who is residing at the time of the opening of the
piece in Hampshire, is the party by whose hand his
sire was murdered. It appears also that he (the
pirate) is attached to the daughter of Harcourt,
which, however, has not the effect of diminishing his
animosity to her sire. He decoys the father and
daughter on board his vessel, recovers his speech,
and having revealed his knowledge of the former
being the murderer of his parent, is about to exercise
a summary vengeance, when the ship is attacked by a
revenue cruizer, commanded by the lover of Emily
(Harcourt's daughter) Mrs. G. Lee. The father and
daughter are rescued, the pirate is slain,:and the.lovers
are united. The piece was well received.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Madame Sontag appeared last evening as Elvira in
I Puritani for the first time, and has at once set all
rivalry at defiance. She has made the character her
own ; in Elvira, at least there is no living artiste who
can approach her. Her very youthful appearance is
much in her favour ; she looks a " vergen vezzosa,"
and her quiet and lady-like manners are quite in
keeping with the character. In the mad scene she
was beautifully true to nature, and her quiet pathos
contrasted most favourably with the exaggerated
violence which her predecessors in this part have
usually exhibited. She was in admirable voice, and
rendered the music exquisitely. She was encored in
the " Son vergen vezzosa," and in the beautiful
" Vien di letto " in the second act, which we have
never before heard rendered so exquisitely. Bail-
carde was the Arturo, and his Arturo is by farthebest
thing that he has yet done, and will add immensely
to his reputation. The "Ah ti a cars " was a per-
fect gem, and was enthusiastically encored. With
Lablache as Giorgio, and Coletti as Ricciardo, it
will be apparent that the representation of last
evening was as near perfection as possible.
Les Graces followed, and the furore which it creates
is increased on each occasion by its repetition. Fer-
raris was, as usual, encored in her pas. The house
was crowded in every part.

WOOL.

Since the conclusion of the public sales there has been
more inquiry for British Wools, the prices of which have, in
some instances, advanced 1/2d per lb. Foreign Wool, the
quantity of wich in the market is small, and greatly out of
condition, is entirely neglected. The next public sales,
which are expected to commence on the 22d proximo, will
embrace 60,000 bales. The imports into London last week
were 34 bales from Hamburgh, 25 ditto from Constantinople,
13 from Copenhagen, 1,000 from Portland Bay, and 900 from
Freemantle, together with 124 bags from Ireland.

TALLOW.

St. Petersburgh advices to the 12th inst., state that 2,200
casks of Tallow had been disposed of, for shipment to Eng-
land, at from 108 to 109 roubles, being much higher prices,
including freight, than can be obtained here. The delivery of
contracts had commenced, and several vessels had sailed for
England-11,000 casks having been shipped. Since our last
report, this market has ruled somewhat inactive, yet prices
may be considered steady. To-day P.Y.C. on the spot is
selling at :-6s 9d, and for delivery daring the last three
months, 37s 6d per cwt. Town Tallow, 35s to 35s 6d per
cwt. net cash; Rough Fat, 2s per Sibs.

On a show of hands being taken for the several candidates,
Geo. Edmund Hodgkinson was elected by a large majority.
The SHERIFF declared that gentleman duly elected.
Mr. looms Low then demanded a poll on the part of Mr.
Butler, which was granted by the Sheriffs, and the Court
broke up.

Bavaria. It has been said by some that this vast outlay
in art was, in fact, unbounded extravagance; but the
King of Bavaria could see much farther than such
people. Twenty years ago a stranger was a rarity in
Munich. Now it swarms with strangers, pouring their
hundreds of pounds daily into the coffers of the Munich
tradesmen, who are already reaping the golden harvest
which their late enlightened King has sown for
them; and Munich now rivals Paris or Rome.—Builder.

MARRIAGE BILL.

The Bishop of SALISBURY, in presenting several
petitions against this Bill, asked whether it was the in-
tention of those who had charge of this Bill to proceed
with it during. the present session ?
The Earl cif ST. GERMAINS proposed to move the
seeond reading of the Bill for Thursday next, and he
saw no reason why it should not be proceeded with this
session, as it had been fully discussed in the other House,
and so fully considered in the country.
Lord BROUGHAM thought it would be most expe-
dient to dispose of the Bill this session, but he thought
the notice too short. He was unfavourable to the Bill.
The Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH was favourable to
the Bill, and therefore he regretted to hear that it was
intended to bring it forward NA session, because he was
certain that they would not obtain a fair discussion of it
at this period of the session.
Lord STANLEY was opposed to the Bill,
bnt he was certain it would not be fairly
discussed at this period of the session. The
third reading had been carried in the other House
by a majority of 10 only. There was no reason why a
Bill of this nature should not originate in their Lordships'
House at the commencement of the next session, when
there would be ample time to discuss it.

The Earl of ST: GERMANS would to-morrow state
what were bis intentions with regard to the Bill.—(Hear.)

The C'onservatore Coctituzionale of Florence, of the

on Ist August, proclaim the new institutions promised
by the motu proprio of Sept. 12. It adds that this result
is to be ascribed to the preponderating influence of Car-
dinal ANTONELLI.
The Giornale di Roma of the 11th contains the fol-
lowing paragraph in its official part:—" We are autho-
rised to declare that the Holy Father never invited

The Osservatere Romano of the 11th states that about
thirty Swiss officers beloeging to foreign regiments,

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 22, 1850.

Saturday, the 2011 of July, 1850, will be parti-
cularised as a date especially worthy of his celebra-
tion by the future biographer of Lord PALMERSTON.
For then it was that the popularity of that illustrious
Minister of the Crown may be truly said to have
reached its period of culmination. A more signal
evidence that its political sentiments are consonant
with those of the English multitude, could not have
been afforded by the members of the Reform Club,
than the circumstance of their having invited her
MAJEsTit's principal Foreign Secretary to a grand

banquet, on Saturday evening, fur the purpose of
expressing their admiration for his policy, and their
- respect fur his public and private character. The
detailed report, given elsewhere, of the speeches deli-
vered upon this interesting occasion will be perused
no doulst with avidity by thousands of our intelligent
population ; and the hearts of those thousands will
respond eagerly to the opinions therein articulated,
opinions crowning the career of a great statesman
with popular approval and panegyric. It was by no
infelicitous selection, moreover, that the Hon. and
Gallant Gentleman the representative of the county
of Middlesex presided as chairman over this assm-
blage ; for among all the Members of the British
House of Commons he has long, by his votes, by his
speeches, anti by his whole bearing in the Legislature,
diitinguished himself peculiarly for his political in-
dependence. So conspicuous, indeed, has been the
isolation of Mr. RALPH BERNAL OSBORNE from all
party feeling whatever, both within and without the
walls of the Parliament, so thoroughly careless has he
been of propitiating the favour of the Government or
of arousing the antagonistic passions of the Opposi-
tion, that he very appropriately excused himself for
any inadequacy that might he evinced by him in
proposipg the toast of the evening on Saturday, by
reminding his auditors that he had been more ac-
customed to pass strictures on the collective
acts of the Cabinet than to pay compli-
ments to any individual Minister. What is
here mentioned as characteristic of the Chairman
may he emphatically predicated also of the influential
body of politicians there assembled together to do
honour to Viscount PALMERSTON. As might be seen
from the list of names accompanying the beautiful
testimonial recently presented to his Viscountess, as
might be 'recognized also from the catalogue of his
supporters who cordially yielded their votes the other
morning to the motion of Mr. Roanucx, the large
majority of the Parliamentary sympathisers with the

TURKEY.

We read in a letter from Constantinople of the sth :
—" The Sultan, on the occasion of his return from his
excursion in the Turkish islands of the Archipelago,
held a grand reception on Monday last, at his Palace
of Teheragan. His Highness was seated in state
in the large audience chamber, and had near him
the Grand Vizir Rechid Pacha, and his two
brothers-in-law, Admed Pacha, Grand Master of
the Artillery, and Mehemet Ali Pacha, Minister
of War. The corps diplomatigue was intro-
duced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ali
Pacha, and formed a semi-circle round the Sultan,
in order of rank and seniority. Sir Stratford Can-
ning, the senior Ambassador, spoke in the name of
his colleagues. He said that the diplomatic body,
taking a lively interest in everything connected with
the prosperity of the Ottoman empire and the per-
son of its sovereign, had appreciated the happy
results which might be anticipated from a
visit of his Highness to the provinces of his
empire. That having united in the manifestations
of the fidelity and devotedness of the popula-
tion of the provinces through which the Sultan had
passed, it had also shared in the joy evinced by the
inhabitants of Constantinople on the occasion of his
return to his capital, and that he was happy to have
to express these sentiments to his Highness, in the
name of his colleagues. The Sultan replied that he was
happy to see the diplomatic body assembled round him,
and that he thanked them for the sentiments they had just
expressed towards him ; that all his efforts were used
to promote the prosperity of all his subjects, of what •
ever religion they might be ; that such was the object
of the reforms introduced, and the spirit of the recom-
mendations which he unceasingly gave to his Mi-
nisters, and that the object of his occasional visits to
his provinces was to see that his recommendations
had been carried out. After his reply the Sultan rose,
and addressed each of the members of the corps sepa•
rately in the most gracious manner."

DENMARK.

By accounts dated Altona, July 16, we learn
that—A proclamation has been published in Copen-
hagen, announcing that the Holstein forces had crossed
the Schleswig frontiers ; their head-quarters were at
the town of Schleswig. The Danes have advanced
as far as Hadersleben.
Count Eulenberg, one of the Commission of Admi-
nistration in Schleswig under the armistice, left
Flensburg yesterday to return to Denmark across the
Island'.

The Russian squadron was seen yesterday cruising
off the town of Diittebiill, a little to the north of the
mouth of the Schlei. _ _

The Swedish neutral troops were to have marched
out of Angelen last night and to-day ; they will be
embarked. at Flensburg : in the latter town and in
Apenrade quarters had already been engaged for
them. _ _

The intelligence from the Northern Duchy will
principally consist of accounts of the movements of
troops. The armies are approaching each other. The
town of Flensburg is now nearly the middle point
between the respective head-quarters.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, May 27.
AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.

The litirgais of SALISBURY, in pursuance of tLe
notice which he had given, presented several petitions
complaining of agricultural distress, and praying for a
return to a 83:t to of protectior. Ile wished to ask
the Noble Earl opposite how long he would consider
it bt-f..ne the present system had ha': a fair trial?

Earl GREY was not aware that the law of 1346 con-
tained any clause limiting the time during which it was
to be continued in operation, and he was not aware of
any intention to introduce any measure for repealing or
altering it.—(Hear, hear.)
The Earl of MALMESBURY thought that if the
Noble Earl meant what he had just said and the Noble
Earl was a man who generally said what he meant, and
meant what he said—ho was a minister better fitted for
the ancient empire of the Medes and Persians than for
the constitutional Government of Great Britain.—(Hear,
hear, and a laugh.) The Noble Earl seemed to enter-
tain a great dislike for these discussions, but so long as
the different rarliamentary papers were delivered to
London, England, 1850-05-28

cellors is the year 1842—not striking at the root of
the existing ahyses.

For the last half century, at least, there had been
general complaints of the inordinate delays of the
Court. Lord ELDON, although a sound lawyer,
was proverbially slow, and his doubts inflicted the
deepest injury ußon the unfortunate suitors (far better
that an erroneouslicision should sometimes have been
pronounced than that all justice should be practically
denied) ; the causes in arrear increased to a fearful
extent, so that at length a period of several years—
seldom less than three or four—often elapsed be-
tween the setting down and the hearing of a cause.
And even under the most favourable circumstances,
where there were no exceptions to the Master's re-
port, or no unnecessary obstructions interposed
by interested parties, final_ judgment or the
distribution of a fund in court could not be
reasonably anticipated in less than nine or ten years.

THE DELAYS IN CHANCERY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Having observed from the different London
papers, that the Court of Chancery is again closed, as
it has been, more or less, for some terms past, I beg
to ask, through the medium of your valuable paper,
for the satisfaction of myself and many other victims
to the dreadful delays in this court, if his Lordship
is likely to take his seat at all this term ? Should
his Lordship be still indisp3sed, and not able to take
his seat, does it follow that all business should be
suspended, and that suitors, after having proceeded
wit's cases at the expense of some thousands of
pounds, should be put off from year to year, extend-
ing over a period of twenty years (as in my case)
what might be settled in a few hours ? Is there no
remedy ?—I am, Sir, yours, &c ,
