HOUSE OT 'COMMONS.—TUESDAY.
The Manchester Rectory Division Bill was read a third time
and passed. Two water hills for the metropolis were rejected
en their second readings by large majorities, being opposed by
Sir G. Grey, on the part of Government, dby Lord Ashley
on the part of the Board cf Health. The bill of the London
and Watford Spring Water Company was rejected by a ma-
jority of 196 to 90; and the:Nletropolitan Waterworks Henley-
hames and London Aqueduct Bill, by 226 to 116. •
• . The rest of the evening was occupied with a debate, on a

motion of Mr. GRANTLiN BERKELEY for a committee of the
svhole house to consider the acts relating to the importation of
foreign corn. At last, he said, the Minister, now that wheat
was .eltla load, admitted there was agricultural distress; but
when asked for bread, he gave bricks. Reduction of rents, it
made, would not meet the present distress, when in some

WINES OF MADEIRA.—There are no finer white wines in
the world than those which are produced from the grape, on
the south side of the Island of Madeira; if, indeed, there are
any that equal them ;- possessing; as they do, bouquet, body,
softness, and pure vinous qualities, essential characteristics of
a good and generous wine.—Madeira, by Dr. Mason and J.

At the annual meeting of the Religious Tract Society, the
Hon. Arthur Kinnaird stated that there were in this country
ten stamped newspapers advocating infidelity, with a present
circulation of 11,700,000 a-year ; six unstamped with a circula-
tion of 6,240.000 ; and miscellaneous publications, having a cir-
culation of 10,400,000; and there were, besides, publications of
the very worst character, having a circulation of 520,000.
On Thursday week, Rebecca and her children paid a visit to
the rock of the old castle of Dyserth. A wall of very remark-
able construction was built around the common land where
this once celebrated castle stood : the measurement of it was

about 1450 yards in length, and itwas about six feet4high, and
it had given work to scores of hands for many months. It was
completely destroyed in a night.

So-me biicklayeis, repairini a house at Kingston-on-Thames,
the -other day, fell into a romance. A window opened above
their beads, a female head was protruded, and a story was told
to the effect that the lady had been shut up there in solitary
confinement by her friends, and ill:treated as a lunatic for years.
She was rescued, the magistrates were consulted, and an en-
quiry is_g9ing on.

Her Majesty gains strength rapidly, and the infant Prince
continues in good health. Prince A‘bert and the royal children
are also well. tier Majesty, it is expected, will proceed to
Osborne to-morrow, remaining until the 18th of June. The
Prince will be christened on the 22d of the same month, and
drawing-rooms, balls, and concerts, will take place in quick
succession.

No DOUBT.—A young lady thus writes anonymously in the
columns of the Family Herald :—" For my own part I confess
that the desire of my heart and my constant prayer is that I
may be blessed with a good and affectionate husband, and that
I may be enabled to be a good affectionate wife and mother.
Should I be denied this, I hope for grace to resign myself—but
I fear it will be a hard trial to me."
THE AGE. BEFORE NEWSPAPERS.—I am so put to it for
something to say, that I would make a memorandum of the
most improbable lie that could be invented by a Viscountess
Dowager •, as the old Duchess of Rutland does when she is told
of some strange casualty, "Lucy, child, step into the next room
and set that down." "Lord, Madam !" says Lady Lucy, "it
can't be true !" " Oh, no matter, child ;it will do for news into
the country next post."—Horace Walpole.
THE SAVINGS BANKS BILL,—The Chancellor of the Exche-
quer is meeting with considerable opposition in regard to this
measure. The leading features of the plan are the appointment
of the treasurers by government, anch.the reduction of the rate
of interest to be paid depositors to IOS. per cent_ per annum.
It is said that the treasurer's salary will be .1,000, and that of
his clerk .'2so—more good patronage for government; and
that 580 treasurers will be required.
A meeting of provincial mayors and chief officers of cities
and boroughs is to take place on the 21st instant, at the Rail-
way Hotel, in Derby, to make arrangements for inviting the
Lord Mayor of London to an entertainment in the metropolis,
or elsewhere, in return for the munificent hospitality with
which his lordship entertained the mayors of the provinces a
short time since at the Mansion-house, when the Prince Consort
was present. _ _

Tlie Sussex magistrates have been investigating -a strange
case of imposture. A young girl, named Betsey Ginn, has been
raising money from the charitable for years, by the protesta-
tion that she was suffering from a horrible cutaneous disease,
of which her face, neck, arms, and feet bore evidence; and, at
last, it turns out that all the ulcers and discolouration were the
effect of her own application to her body of hydrochloric acid
(spirit of salt.)

The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the monu-
ment of the late Sir John Barrow, Bart., took place on the Hill
of Hoad, near Ulverston, on Wednesday last. The monu-
ment is to be in the shape, and to answer the purpose, 'if
needed, of a lighthouse, for Morecambe Bay; until then it will
be used as an observatory. It is to be 45 feet in diameter at
the base, and 100 feet high. The funds have been raised by
public subscription, upwards of .tl,OOO being already contri-
buted.

SECESSIONS.—Edward Purbrick, Esq., undergraduate mem-
ber of Christchurch, Oxford, has seceded to the Church of
Rome; and Mrs. Dayman, with two of her daughters, the
widow and children of the Rev. Charles Dayman, vicar of
Great Tew, in Oxfordshire, and a select preacher at Oxford,
have also joined the Romish communion. Mrs. Dayman's son,
a graduate of Exeter College, Oxford, and a clergyman in the
diocese of Worcester, was recently announced as having pre-
ceded his relatives in the course of apostacy.
MODERN ARCHITECTURE.—FALL OF A CHURCH.—The
district Church of Arniotts, in the parish of Althorpe, Lincoln-
shire, has fallen to the ground, and is utterly destroyed. It is
a most fortunate circumstance that the catastrophe did not
occur during divine service. or the result would have been
most alarming. The rector (the Rev. J. Aspinall) is using his
utmost endeavours to raise £BOO to rebuild the church, and
afford the inhabitants the means of attending divine worship.

I mentioned in a previous letter that the rev. doctor's
object was to endeavour to induce his holiness to do
away with the bickerings, animosities, and polemical dis-
cords which keep the various denominations of Christians
separate and at enmity ; and, by calling a general coun-
cil, to establish the basis of an universal creed.- It was
certainly a bold attempt for a Protestant clergyman to
convert the pope himself ; .but the doctor was determined
to beard the lion in his den, and on Friday last he went to
the encounter in full dress canonicals. After having
knelt to kiss the pope's hand, Dr, Townsend was invited
by his holiness to take a chair, and an animated conversa-
tion commenced in Latin, a fit language for_ controversy,
and one in which the disputants might be presumed to be
a match for each.other. The pope was upon the whole
very tolerant, as may be imagined 'from his having not
only listened with calmness to Dr. Townsend's arguments
in favour of releasing the catholic clergy from their vow of
celibacy, but also assured him that he entertained serious
ideas of adopting such a plan in the early part of his reign
especially after having received pressing letters upon the
subject from Germany, but that, in the present state of,
Italy, and indeed of the whole continent, any innovation
on his part would be dangerous, even if he had the power
to act freely, which he had not, being by no means the
free agent that he was on his first accession to the throne.
The same objection would prevent him from calling a
general council, or attempting to unite the great and di-
vided family of Christians, although he fully admitted the
grandeur of the scheme, protested his own desire for peace
and harmony, and wept at Dr. Townsend's enthusiastic
picture of England recognising in Pio Nono the head of a
universal church. After three-quarters of an hour's dis-
cussion, the rev. canon took his leave, placing in the
.hands of his holiness a document containing the principal
heads of his argument, which appears to have made some
impression on the pontiff's mind, judging from the fact of
his having sent to the doctor's residence on Sunday last,
only two days after the interview, requesting to be made
acquainted with the period of Dr. Townsend's return (he
has just gone to Naples), as he'should then like to have
some more conversation with him.—Correspondent of the
Daily Arews.—[Dr. Townsend should have consulted his
bible, and invited the pope to act in accordance there-.,
with. But that his holiness will never do, and therefore
we can have " no peace with Rome."]

RECAL OF THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR.

The greatest excitement prevailed in the metropolis on
Thursday afternoon, in consequence of its having become
known that Mons. Drouyn de l'Huys, the French ambas-
sador, had left London abruptly, after receiving the
following letter from the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs, which was read in the National Assembly :

Paris, May 14.
" Sir,—As I had the honour of announcing to you yesterday,
the Council has deliberated on the reply of the Cabinet of
London, which you had been directed to transmit to us, My
Preceding despatches must have caused you to anticipate the
decision of the Government of the Republic. France, in a
spirit of kindness and peace, had decided to interpose her good
offices for the purpose of terminating, on honourable terms,
the differences which had arisen between Great Britain and
GrooCe It had been agreed that the coercive measures already
resorted to by England should be suspended during the course
of the mediation, and that if an arrangement deemed fit to be
accepted by the French mediator should be rejected by the.
British mediator, the latter should refer the matter to London
I before again having recourse to force. We had received on this
point the most formal promises, which, however, have not been
observed. This deplorable consequence has resulted there-
from, namely, that at the moment when a convention, nego-
tiated directly, and definitely agreed to, between the Cabinets
of London and Paris, was on the point of arriving at Athens,
where already the essential conditions of it were known,
Greece, attacked anew by the naval forces of Great Britain, in
spite of the energetic representations made by the French
Envoy, was obliged, in order to escape complete ruin, to accept
without discussion the clauses of an ultimatum far more rigor-
ous. On learning this strange result of our mediation we be-
lieved it to be the effect of a misunderstanding. We had hoped
that the Cabinets in London, like us, considering as null and
void the acts so much to be regretted by every one, and which
had been concluded in violation of an engagement entered into
with us, would maintain the convention concluded in London.
You hag been charged to apply to the English Cabinet to do
so, and that demand not having been agreed to, it has ap-.
peared to us that the prolongation of your sojourn in London
is not compatible with the dignity of the Republic. The
President has ordered me to direct you to return to France after
having accredited W. Mareschalci as Charge d'Affaires. He
has also directed me to express to you all the satisfaction which
the Government of the Republic feels at the zeal, ability, and
spirit of conciliation and firmness you have constantly shown
in the course of the negotiation, the non-success of which was not
attributable to you. You will be pleased to communicate this
dispatch to Lord Palmerston. " LAHIrrE."

The correspondent of the Morning Herald says :
" When General de la Hitte announced the recal of the
French ambassador, the right benches, composed of
Legitimists and Orleanists, cheered most uproariously,
but the left benches remained perfectly cold and silent.
Upon the Minister moving that the documents be printed,
General Cavaignac and his immediate friends marked
their dissent by rising in favour of the negative--a cir-
cumstance that caused a marked sensation. It is now in
everybody's mouth that the coolness has been got up for
the sake of forwarding an alliance with Russia as a step to
the overthrow of the Republic."

The correspondent of the nmee says:--" The impres-
sion produced amongst all parties here I stated to be of
the most painful kind, and I find that since then that
impression, far from being diminished, has, on The con-
trary, inc.reassd, Jt is Deceosary to add that ,thebeling

England or Eng interests ;itisto be found eqttally
amcingst those wtio were hitherto the warmestpartisans of
`the English alliance, but who have no answer to make to
those whose constant theme was la perfide Albion. They
believe that from England they are not to expect good
faith, and they 'complain the more. bitterly from the con-
viction that the English government has taken an unge-
nerous advantage of the distracted state of France, and of
the almost insurmountable difficulties her government has
to overcome ; struggling for existence in presence of a
menacing and dangerous faction at home, armed rebellion
almost at their very door, 'and abroad insincerity and
duplicity, when they were led to expect the contrary. It
would be superfluous to say many words on the conse-
quences of a rupture with France. In any case some
humiliation will have to be submitted to, but that in-
volved in the execution of the original convention is the
least."

According to letters from Havre, the government had
already begun to make preparations for a rupture. One
letter, dated Thursday morning, says—" Orders have
been received here this morning to levy all the sailors of
from 20 to 40 years of age. This levy comprises the
seven tenths of the qailors of the Inscription, which is
never done except in contemplation of war."
- The Paris papers of Friday are principally occupied with
the exciting subject of the Ambassador's recal from Lon-
don. The Union states that the order for the recal was
issued during the absence of the President of the Repub-
lic, who, on his return from Fontainebleau, heard with
great emotion and pain what had taken place. Should
this be true the President has been betrayed. All the op-
position journals, without' exception treat the subject as a
ruse to cover an intrigue, having the double object of fa-
vouring the electoral law, and of forming an alliance with
Russia. • The Legitimist organs are furious against Gen.
Cavaignic for the manner in which he foiled their coup
de the'dtre.

There is not much on the Greek business in the French
journals of Saturday. Lord Normanby has taken his
passports, and itis said in the leading French papers,
that he will leave immediately, but it is most probably a
hazarded report. The papers talk more of insurrection,
and the organs of the party of order want a dictatorship
to be declared at once.'' M. Faucher read his report on
the electoral law yesterday, the conclusions of which have
been already anticipated. The debate is fixed for Tues-
day. The funds are about the same as last quotations,
rather a little better.

The National states that M. Brenier. dirlctor at the
foreign-office is about to set out for London, charged

The London Times of Saturday was loud in its con-
demnation of Lord Palmerston, but yesterday, our con-
temporary was somewhat milder in his tone. The ex-
citement on the subject is fast dying away: Of course
apprehension that war will be the issue is needless. The
Times of yesterday says :—" We have not as yet antici-
pated, nor do we even now apprehend, that the unfortn-

and embarrassing position into which the late opera-
tions of the British fleet in Greece and the tate proceed-
ings of the British Government have thrown our relation,
with France and other continental powers, is of so seri°,

and formidable a nature as to threaten this country and
the world with actual war."

The Globe of Saturday _says :—" We ventured yester-
day to express-our disbelief that the late proceedings in
the French assembly seriously menaced the peace of
Europe, and twenty-four hours have given us no reason to
alter our opinion. The intelligence that reaches us up to
the hour at which we write (one p.m.), indicates the ac-
curacy and sense with w'aich the opinion of Paris has pro-
nounced upon the Greek question. We did not indeed
know yesterday, as we now do, that the French cabinet

g v.a0.0 ULU J.
had ventured on the audacious length of summoning M.
Droyn de L'Huys to Paris, without any orders from the

rresulent, though the latter was not more than half an
hour's distance from Paris. But we at once saw which
was the only party that could possibly be benefited by so
abrupt and hazardous:a step, and that France would not
sacrifice foreign peace and domestic freedom to the desighs
of such an unpopular and discredited faction. With the
Republic struggling for existence against its own official
representatives, with its finances in disorder, and the diS-
organisation of its army held out as a legitimate means of
political warfare, surrounded by powers to whom the very
name of a Republic is a terror and a warning, France can-
not hope to develop her liberty or to reconstruct her social
order, but on condition of absolute tranquillity abroad."
