The demand for rum and molasses is also inactive. The authorities at the Horse Guards have deter- mined that no women or children are to accompany the regiments now under orders to leave this country for India,

The Post-office authorities have announced an im. portant extension of the privileges of newspaper transmission to India—the payment of one penny franking a paper not exceeding four ounces in weight to any part of the 0 Indian empire, via Southampton, and threepence Via Marseilles. These rates have hitherto only covered the transit to India, but now they include the subsequent carriage in the interior of the country, a privilege that will greatly increase the circulation of British newspapers in the East. SULTANAS AND THEIR GUAKIUANS. -—A letter from Conshmtinople, of the 8th, says A grave affair oc. curred yesterday in the high street in Pera. M. Guar, raccino, brother of an English consul, happened to be atanding at the door of a confectioner's shop, when a car- riage occupied by sultanas, and escorted by several eunuchs, came up. The Turkish ladies are such coquettes that, in spite of their veils, they allow tliem. selves to be seen, and even by their glances excite ad- miration. Whether they gave M. Guarraecino a glance celtio a glance or not I do not know, but certain it is that he approached too c!ose to tho carriage and looked into it with too much curiosity to please the eunuchs, and one of them struck him with a whip. M. Guarraccino, in return, struck the man with his cane, and the latter drew his sword the former endeavoured to wrest it from him, and both of them cut their fingers. On this the other eunuchs, sword in hand,.rushed on M. Guarraccino, and he was obligell to take to flight; in running he fell, andtheeunucha coming up, stabbed him several times in the back. The eunuchs then continued their route, but not until after they had given their names to the police. M. Guarrac- cino was taken into a house, where is wounds were dressed, and it was found that he was not in danger. As he is an English subject, it is not doubted that the English embassy, which has never let much serious at- tacks of this kind go uQayeuged, will demand r«<U ;s9i"

DISTRICT KEWS. NEWBRIDGE. fir. EVAN LEWIS, CYSIMKB, SMITH AND VICTUALLER. birikrupt came up at his certificate meeting at Bristol Bankruptcy Court, on Tuesday se'nnight. Mr. G. L. Leech (as locum tenens for Mr- Stone) appeared on behalf of the assignees, and Mr. Clifton for the bankrupt. Mr. Leech stated that from the very cursory glance he had been able to give to the papers, it struck him that eveu if his Honour should come to the most charitable conclusion, that the bankrupt was an honest man, still the fncts elicited 011 former examinations showed that he was evidently so illiterate as to be utterly until to Conduct any trading operations, and it would thelerore be much better that he should return to his original occupation as a com- mon labourer, as the sphere most suited to his abilities. The specific grounds of opposition wt re that the bank- rupt had not kept proper books, and that he had omitted to make proper entries in the books which he did keep that he had fraudulently preferred several creditors and that his course of trading had been reckless, With respect to the defective book-keeping, there was no dis- pute, as the bankrupt coul,l not write himself, and had entrusted the keeping of his accounts to a mere boy. The charge as to the fraudulent preferences was not sustained, as it was not shown that the payments in question had been made without pressure. The reckless trading was evident on the face of the accounts, the bankrupt having sustained a loss of e300 by one contruct alone into which he entered. These points having been elicited by the learned counsel, Mr. Clifton, for the bankrupt, did not deny that the books were imperfect, nor would he justify the course of trading pursued by the bankrupt. But he hoped the Court would not be able to adopt the suggestion of the learned counsel, and refuse the certificate altogether, but would grant one of a low class, with some reasonable conditions annexed. His Honour, in giving judgment, said it was quite evident in this case the bankrupt had made a great mis- take in going into trade at all. A person utterly unable to keep books, had no business to enter into trade. Defi- ciency of education was no doubt matter for pity, but justice to the community made it necessary that he should say that such persona ought to take a lower position in society than that of tradesmen. Very creditably they might maintain themeelvc*, with all that constituted true respectability as working-men. iN t only had this bank- rupt kept no books himself, but the person he employed to do so for him Was a mere boy. Ho had also entered into improvident contracts, and ought to have come to the Court at an earlier period. While he strongly advised the bankrupt not to agai 1 embark in trade, under all the circumstances he did not think it right to refuse the cer- lificate altogether, but at the same time it must be of the lowest class, and could not be immediate. The certificate must be of the third class, and must be suspended for six months. On the application of Mr. Leech, protection was with. held for the first three months of the period of suspension BRIDGEND. PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL AVONG THR JEWS.— The Kev. John Williams, one of the missionaries of this society, deliverel a lecture at the Town-hall, on Tuesday evening, last week, on the political, social, and religious condition of the Jews. The lecture Willi highly interest- ing, tiiii at its close a collection wait COUNTY Count.-At the monthly sitting of Judge Falconer, at Bridgend, on Friday, there were for hearing 42 new cases, 4 adjourned cases, and one commitment sun.motu, but neither of the cases possessed any-public interest. James Beynon, accountant, Maenteg, an insol- vent debtor, came up for his final order, but in conse- quence of the absence of his attorney, the application was adjourned. CIIILU RUN OveR.-On Tuesday afternoon, last week, a child was killed at Oldcastle by being run over by a cart. Deceased, who was about two years old, was the son of Moses Barrett, tinman, OldcasH ■, and the driver of tbe Clllt wpu Morgan Griffiths, in the employ of Mr. LJward David butcher, Rhew. Its parents being from home, the child was plajing in the street, when it was knocked dowu by the hoise, and one of the wheels passing over his head, death ensued in a very sholt time. Geo. Salmons, Esq., deputy coroner, held an inquest on the body on Wednesday, at the Bear Inn. The jury returned a verdict of •• Accidental death," but expressed their opinion that at the time of the accident the driver of the cart was "Iookiug another way." It is a liugular cir- cumstance that about nine months ago a child of the same parents, at about the same age, was killed near the same spot, under very nearly the same circumstances. SUICIDE. — A painful sensation was caused in the town and neighbourhood on Tuesday lust, in consequence of the death, by his oWn hand, of Mr. Benjamin Martin, formerly landlord of the An^el Inn. Deceased, who resided with his son-in-law, D,. Verity, was discovered in the stable about hall-past ten oil morning, hanging by a cord twisted round his neck, from the rack of the manger. Ifc was immediately cut down, but life was extinct, although the body was not q'lite cold. About a month ago deceased's wife died, Hnd since that ti.-e he had be n in a desponding state of mind, but not to such an extent as to excite the apptehetisions of his friends. lie was sixty-five years of «ge. The inquest, held on Wednesday, at the Hear Inn, befoie George Salmons, Esq deputy coroner, resulted in a verdict to the el!'ect tiltit the dcceftsetl Ila(] put an entl to his life while labouring under an attack of temporal) insanity. UOAItU OF GUARDIANS.—Various irregulaiities being reported on the part of the master of the workhouse, Mr. I nomas Shaw, and it appearing that he had absented himself from the house without permission, as well as neglected to make up his book?, it was resolved, on the pioposition of \lr. Robert Leyshon, seconded by Mr. l,le,teif)ri (Court ('Iinnii), flitt he should be suspended, until the sanction of the General Board to his dismissal could be obtained. The matron uudertook to perform the duties until the appointment of a new master. It was resolve 1 that Mr. James Brojkes should be imme- diately engaged to take s'.ock and in order, if possible, to secure the services of an efficient master for the future, it was decided, 011 the motion of Mr. i.lewelljn (Court Colman), seconded by Dr. Leahy, to apply to the General Board for permission to increase the salary to the sum of £ 50 per annum, with the usual rations, —advertisements to be inserled in the local papers to soon as the required sanction should be obtained. With reference to certain disputed accounts with the Cardiff Union, the Clerk was directed to communicate with the Clerk of that Union, and also with the General Board, to endeavour to obtain a settlement. The Clerk said that he had received a letter from Mr. Talln.t, M.t\, acknowledging the receipt of the memorial in favour of establishing County Finance Boirdg, but it was not stated thst the memorial had been presented, nor did it appear so by the newspapers. Ap- plications were received from Mr. W. H. Michael and Mr. J. G. Hall, of Swansea, for the vote of the Board at the ensuing election of surgeon for the Infirmary. As neither of the applicants were known to the Guardians, it was determiued to leave it to the Chairman and Vice- Chairman to give the proxy of the Board as they might think best. The Clerk reported that Mr. John Lewis, farmer, Brigam, had been duly elected guardian for Llan- sannor. No other business of a special nature came before the Board. TLRE. On Thursday last, about twelve o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the rick yard of Mr. Harris, Wick, which, had it not been for the prompt assistance of the neighbouring farmers, would most likely have de- stroyed the whole premises. The measures adopted were most judicious. They cut the outside of the rick as far in as the fire extended, so that the inside was entirely saved. The cart house was destroyed. Rumours that it was set on tire by some eviUdisposed person in the neighbourhood predominated. BRIDGEND PETTY SESSIONS.-SATURDAY. [Before the Rev. H. L. Blosse and Capt. Traherne.] William Morris was charged with having assaulted Isaac Morgan. Complainant said he was a titter at Cefacwsc workf. Defendant was an engine driver at the same workø. They had a dispute on the morning of Sunday week, and on passing defendant at a later part of the day, complainant threw a few hot coals towards him. Just then a bar of iron came down on the topof a wall, and struck complainant on the back. Defendant was standing on the top of a boiler, and on complainant looking up he saw him with a bar nine or ten feet long in his hand. He thrust the bar at the complainant as the latter lay ou the ground, but it did not nana?.111! }njuries from the other blow, however, bed for nlno1' attendance, and complainant kept his said he w» nm V' ns,er to.defendant, complainant L- J r druuk on tbe occasion referred to, Morris <>■»« ■ .uovoifin o¥ h„; coall over hIm. and boldinjt up the shoYel in a menacing attitude, swore he would kill him.

James Totterdale, Pyle, pleaded guilty to a charge of riding on his waggon without reins, and was ordered to pay 5s. 3d. costs. Thomas Jones, a respectable looking elderly man. was charged with stealing coal, the property of the LlynYi Vale Iroo Company. The manager, Mr. Hampton, did not press the charge, and defendant was dismissed with a caution. Morgan Griffiths was charged with the manslaughter of Moses Barret by furiously driving a cart over him. There was no evidence to prove that the cart was furiously driven, and the bench dismissed the case. Mr. Verity appeared for defendant, but his services were not required. NEATH PETTY SESSIONS.-FRIDAY. [Before G. Llewellyn, Esq.. Howel Gwyn.Esq,, William Gilbertson, Esq., and the Rev. D. H. Griffiths.] ASSAULT.—Morgan Jones was charged with asaaultin" a lad named Daniel Richards, on the road leading from Neath to Pontardawe. The evidence in support of the complaint was to the effect that on the previous Saturday, the complainant and defendant, who were each driving a cart, met as they were about to piss over a bridge. The defendant requested comptainant to stop, and because he n i»°V k80.' .him violently on the arm with a piece of whalebone which he had in his httnd. The com- plainaut was severely injured, and the Bench inflicted a fine ofjEZ and costs. ROBBERY BY RAILWAY SERVANTS.—Henry Thomas was charged with stealing a quantity of beer from a cask at the South Wales Railway station, 011 the 10th inst. From the evidence of Joseph Gregory, a guard on the South Wales Railway, it appeared that on Friday last, about 3 50 a.m., he was in charge of a train which ar- rived at that time at Neath motion. Upon their arrivul the driver repeatedly blew his whistle, as the signat not to proceed w is up, and receiving no answer, witness ac- companied him to the station, where he saw the prisoner (who was an engine chaner in the Vale of Neath loco- motive shed) and another man, upon the platform, emptying beer from a barrel into a bucket. On getting near enough he recognised the prisoner, whom he had seen before. Witness went to look for the policeman (or switchman), and during his absence the men went off with the beer towards the shed. He had spoken to pri- soner as to his conduct, and he desired witness to say nothing about it-that they were not the first persons who had taken some of the beer. He said at the same time that if witness reported the circumstance, he would "makearpessofthe station. The beer had been con- signed to Mr. Evans, of the Vale of Neath Brewery. When Gregory found a policeman, he told him what he had seen, and desired him to go with him to take the man into custody, but he refused to do so, saying he did not believe any robbery had taken place. The quantity of beer supposed to have been in the bucket was about six quarts. The prisoner in his defence stated that he was at work iu the shed about three o'clock, and was called to an engine outside. When he went, the mail told him to go up to the station to fetch some beer, saying it was all right because the two policemen were there. He would not, have gone if he had not been told so. The magistrates said there was no doubt the prisoner had stolen the beer, and he was sentenced to be imprisoned for two months in the house of correction at Swausea, with hard labour. John Klligott, the policeman who was in charge of the beat upon which the cask refeiied to in the previous case was placed, was also charged with stealing a portion of the beer on the night of Thursday, the 9th instant. Phillip Edwards, a fitter in the employment of the South Wales Railway Company, saw the prisoner going upon his beat on Thursday night, and some time afterwards saw him taking the coik out of a cask, out of which he drank by means of a glass tube. Witness went to him, and the prisoner invited him to have a sup," and upon doing so he found it was beer. The glass tube was a portion of a water-guage belonging to a locomotive. The glass tube, together with a piece of India-i ubber tube, were produced by Supt. Langdon, who found them in the ca^k. The piece of India-rubber tube was similar to what was used in the Yule of Neath Railway shed as gas-piping. About three-fourths of the contents of the cask had been abstracted, The prisoner pleaded guilty, and iu defence said that the cask had been left with some empties. The beer was quite sour and worth nothing. He simply tasted it, and had not the least intention of defrauding the owner. The magistrates severely lec- tured the prisoner upon his conduct, observing that the beer having been placed upon his beat it was peculiarly under his charge they conld not therefore do less than inflict the severest penalty allowed by law, and the pri- soner would be impiisoued for three months in the house of correction at Swansea, and be kept to hard labour.

I)r. Jones was for- ineily tin apprentice to Mr. C. T. Wilson, chemist 111101 druggist, of this town. In tracing his subsequent career it has been our pleasing duty, oil more than occasion, to notice the honours he attained as a medical student in London.—In reftrence to the feeling as to the Indian mutiny in Calcutta, we have been favoured by our towns- man, Mr. Siinrnoiuls, with the perusal of a I tter from his SUll-now settled in Calcutta—coulnining a highly graphic account of the preparations made by all classes of the inhabitants of thai city for the repression of revolt if it should show itself theie.

ABERGAVBNNY.—Our market on Tuesday was well supplied with stock, and there was also a good attendance of buyers. This was the principal day in the year for doing business ia the wool trade, and a large quantity, of good quality, was brought forward, the prices varying from 161. to Ids. the stone of 13lbs. Although the sup- ply of stock was good, the business done was of but little consequence. Potatoes (old), 7s. the sack; new, ditto, 7d. to 8d.. the quarter of 7ibs.

The line will connect Monmouth, via Raglan and Usk, with the Little Mill station of the Newport and Hereford Railway, making the distance to Newport between twenty-eight aad thirty miles. SIR THOMAS PIIILLIPS'S CuunCH AND SCHOOL AT COURTYBELLA.—A correspondent in The Merlin writea- Being called, last week, into the romantic district of the Rock. I availed myself of the opportunity to visit two structures which stand as monuments of christian philan- thropy, and bear evidence of an earnest desire to promote the moral and social welfare of the teeming, industrious, but at one time much neglected population. Tbe first edifice which engaged my attention was a neat little church, only known as yet as Sir Thomas Phillips's. It is situated in a picturesque spot, and viewed from the numerous points from which it may be seen, is a veiy interesting object. 1 believe the cost of erection is to be borne principally, if not altogether, by the worthy Knight, by whom, too, the site was given and that the ceremony of opeoing the sacred edifice will not be long delayed, as I observed workmen putting the grounds in order, and other indications of approaching completion. Hence I strolled along the tram-way, or rather the railroad, to the school house about a quarter of a mile distant. This is substantially built, and, as I afterwards found, well con- reived in all its details. On entering I found Sir Thomas was present, he had just concluded liis accustomed yisit t and usual enquiries into the progress of the pu; io, and was about taking liis departure. The buildiog comprises, iu addition to the master's department, a commodious rioin, and four large class looms, well supplied with maps, &c., &c. The average daily attendance is 95 boys ard 105 uiils, of ages varying from four to twelve years, who are instructed by a master and mistress (Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Munroe,) assisted by three male and three female pupil teachers in scripture, the liturgy, the cate- chism, English history, geography, grammar, dictation, wri, ing. arithmetic, and other subjects. M udl intelligence was evinced by many of the children, and little things to whom I put questions astonished me by iheir replies, w lile I was no less pleased with their reading aud writing —with the latter enpecitiliv. One Could not but be struck with the observation of the I am sorry to say they go away with an imperfect instruction. I find the more rapidly they learn or we teach, the shorter is their term with us. Their parents consider the education they have gained sufficient; and when we should look with satisfaction upon the results of our labours, the poor children are taken away and sent to work. 1 be mental faculties for want of exercise, grow dull, and eventually little of tint knowledge instilled here is retained. I had once an evening school, but it fxiled.' The school in question is supported solely by Sir Thomas Phillips. The religious opinions of the parents are never interfered" ilb and looking at the establishment altogether, it must be regarded as a blessing to the neighbourhood, anil an bonour to the founder, whose approving conscience is, I am sure, his best reward, and the only one he desires. I may state that at present Divine service is performed twice every Sunday in the schoolroom, by the Rev. Mr. Jones, of Penmaen district, Blackwood, a pulpit being erected, and the congregation having the use of the harmonium provided lor the use of the pupils, who, I had almost for- gotten to state, are trained daily in chanting and singing. The room is invariably crowded. On the completion of the church, the servicfS will, of course, bl1 held there." The examination of the school by the organising master, Mr. Stammers, will take place in the course of next month. BRECON SHIRE.

Mr. Evans, the bailiff, had a short time before cautioned and threatened his discharge if he saw him ride in so careless a manner again; he, however, did SO-WIl.9 thrown off, sustaining very serious injure, and now lies in a dangerous state. BRIICON.— ATTEMPTED ESCAPE FROM THE COUNTY GAOL. — A man named Rumsey, who is undergoing a sentence of three months' imprisonment with hard hbour, was employed us a labourer in the enlargement of the gaol on Thursday last, and made his escape across the river Tarall into rhe Merthyr-road, thence into a field above the road. The absence of the prisoner was soon discovered, and under-turnkey Sankey gave chase nnd after some hard running succeded in catching the dctin- quent.

DEATH FROM STARVATION. —An adjourned inquest was held at Town Hall on Thursday, before James Williams, EstJ., for the purpose of inquiring into the death of a pauper lunatic named Mary Mason. The inquest first sat on 27th ult., at the Station-house, bat was twice adjourned for the purpose of obtaining further evidence. It appealed that the deceased had been removed by her sister, with the consent of the parish authorities, from Lianwrlhwl, in the Rhayader Union, to the parish of St. John's in this town, where she died in twelve or fourteen hours after her arrival. The officers of St. John's communicated with the Coroner, and a jury was impannelled, consisting of several of the leaning tradesmen of the town. The body presented a most frightful and revolting appearance, covered with scars and sores and other indications of gross neglect, if not of absolute cruelty, and was reduced to a skeleton. A past mortem examination was made by Dr. Lucas, and Mr. North, surgeon, whose evi- dence before the Coroner went to show that death resulted from the want of the proper necessaries of life. The surgeon of the Rhayader Union, the Relieving Ollicer, and (he Guardian of Llanwrthwl, and several other persons from that neighboui hood Were examined, but there seemed to be nothing con- clusive to criminate any particular person. The jury were, however, unanimous in opinion that the deceased Mary Mason died from starvation, but how and by whom they had no satisfactory evidence. Their verdict was ac- companied by a severe censure on the oflieeis of the Rhayader Union. It appeared from the evideu'-e before the Coroner that there is no Union House within this Union, although it is one of a very large extent, alllllhat paupers of -all descriptions-fane and insane, are farmed out iti the respective paiishes. Such was the case with the deceased, whom it was proved was an idiot. The in- vestigation caused considerable sensition in the town and neighbourhood, and the jury sat from ten a.m. until twelve at night. Mr. Bishop watched the case, on behalf of the officers of the Union. We trust thut some good will result from this painful investigation, and thai ihe Rhayader Union will be compelled to erect a house for the reception of its uufonuniite paupers, and thus have all opportunity of P,I) iug more Mtlunlion to their wants in future.- Welshman. CARMARTHENSHIRE. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.-On Friday last the down express train due in Carmarthen ut a quarter to five o'clock got off the line at Pihwr, about two miles from that town. It was going very fast at the time, although within a mile to the station. This is con. trary to the printed instructions to engine drivers, ami cannot be accounted for in this instance, 11s the train was in good time, the frequency of curves too in the line near where the accident occurred necessitates the greatest care, which should on all enses be observed. The engine first w nt off the line under the bridge, where the mark of the wheels was perceptible. It then raii parallel with the line for about fil. t)- yards to where the rail curves a liltle, aud going in a direot line went off the permanent way. At this place a rather deep cutting terminates ill a bank about four feet high, separated from the road by an ordi- nary ditch. In crossing this ditch the engine was thrown on one side, unhooking in a remarkable manner the chain which coupled it to the carriages. At this moment, it is conjectured, the carriages were forced off the rail, as they proceeded some distance alone until the outer wheels got into the ditch, and they were thrown against the wooden paling at the side of the railway. They must have fallen very easily, as there was not a pane of glass broken nor were they much damaged. There were upwards of thirty passengers, many of whom were greatly alarmed, and foiced their way from the carriages in every conceivable form. Some, too impatient to open the doors, found a difficult exit through the windows. But not one was injured further than some slight bruises occasioned by the collision, and a hasty departure from the train. The engine when loose from the carriages cut its way through the bank into a field to a depth of about three feet. The tender remained attached to the engine, but on reaching the field the upper portion was forced completely over to the side of the engine and reversed. In its course the end of it struck the dome of the engine, near where the engine driver and stoker stood, who escaped certain death by stooping down as it passed. The engine driver escaped without any injury, but the stoker was consider- ably bruised, He was removed to the Infirmary, and is now convalescent. The passenger were not detained any great length of time, h train having been quicklv pro- vided to take them on. This was a most Providential escepe for all who were in the train. Had it occurred at almost any other portion of the line from the Ferry Side to Carmarthen it must have been attended with a fright. ful result, if for no other reason than the proximity of the river Towy, into which the train would inevitably have been precipitated. It is greatly to be regretted that a Board of Inquiry into such accidents has not been appointed. Had death ensued, an enquiry would natur- ally follow. Why then should an occurrence like that we have described remain without any investigation, when theiivesofmoro than thirty persons were jeopardised? Of course numerous conjectures are hazarded as to the cause of the accident, one of which seems very probable -the neglect of instructions given to drivers to slacken at curves. — Welshman,

THE. PARLIAMENTARY O \THS BILL. DEPUTATION TO LORD PALMERSTON. On Tuesday morning a numerous deputation from the members of the Houee of Commons, favourable to the principle of the Parliamentary Oaths Bill, waited upon Lord Palmerston, at his private residence, for the purpose of ascertaining what were the views entertained by Her Majesty's Government in respect to the legislative course proposed to be taken by the friends of civil and religious liberty in consequence of the rejection of the Jewish Disabilities Bill by the House of Lords. Between 30 and 40 of the chief members at the late meeting of Thursday last were present. Mr. Horsman acted as speaker, and said,—My Lord, we wait on your Lordship to communicate to you the reso'utions that were passed at a meeting of members of the Liberal party in Palace-yard on Thursday last. It was a very numerous meeting called by requisition—was composed by members of Parliament only-and the at- tendance was of such a character as to constitute a full and fair representation of the great body of your Lord- ship's supporters in the House of Commons. The object of it was to consider of the course which it would be wise and titling that the Liberal party should pursue in con- sequence of the rejection of the Oatha Bill by the House of Lords. Certain resolutions were passed, which it is my duty now to read to your Lordship, but before doing so I may state that the meeting was strongly of opinion that the recent decision of the House of Lords should not be tamely acquiesced in, but that another effort should be made during the present session to repair its consequences; and the meeting having to consider the alternative proposals of Mr. Dillwyn to endeavour to seat Baron Rothschild by & resolution of the House, and the Bill whith Lord John Russell had given notice of his in. tention to introduce, came to the determination that Mr. Dillwyn's resolution should be postponed, and Lord John's bill supported. But I ought to add that the feeling in favour of at once attempting to sent Baron Rothschild by resolution was most favourably re- ceived by a large portion of the meeting, and it was, I believe, only given up from the proposers believing that, while complete unanimity would thus in the first instance be secured in support of Lord John's Bill, the rejection of that bill, if it took place, would again tend. to unani- mity in favour of an attempt to seat Baron Rothschild by resolution. We therefore come to ask your Lordship either to support Lord John's Bill with a determination, in case of its rejection, to lead your party in the endeavour to seat Baron Rothschild by resolution, or that, if Lord John's Bill cannot properly be supported this session, the Government will at once declare themselves in favonr of seating by resolution. We know that in such a matter we can, as a party, do nothing without the Government, as the Government can do nothing without their party. We are fully sensible of the value of our leaders, of our dependence on them, and of the consideration and alle- giance always due to them. But at the same time I ought not to conceal from your Lordship (what, indeed, one of the resolutions will convey) that there is a deep conviction among your friends that the Oaths Bill, when lately before the House of Lords, did not derive from the union of the members of the Cabinet among themselves that moral strength and support which is of infinitely more value than all their votes; and the embarrassment whielr we are now all experiencing in the false relation in which we are standing to your Lordship—your followers taking counsel among themselves and communicating their intended course to the Cabinet, instead of the Ca- binetguiding the course of your supporters-is the penalty we are on either side payiug for what we respectfully conceive was on the part of the Government a mistake. My Lord, we feel that )our Lordship has at present the strongest party following that any Minister has had since the Reform Bill—strong, not in numbers only, but in the spirit and the desire for union that pervade all sections of the party and there is a general wish to postpone questions of difference with the Government if they will but lead us vigorously and wisely on those on which we are all agreed. Foremost stands the question of civil dis- abilities imposed as a consequence of religious belief. Your attempt by the Oaths Bill to relieve our fellow-subjects of the Jewish persuasion from that injustice has been again defeated. It is not usually deemed wise in any Govern- ment to sublllitlamely to such defeats, and we do not think it becoming in so strong a Government as yours to do so. Every such defeat must necessarily cause weak- ness to a party, and weakness must tend to disorganiza- tion. We are well assured that there is no question on which the Government aud their followers can be more of one mind and united by one interest than on that now befoie us. But were it unfortunately otherwise, the great body of your supporters do feel that in this principle there is so much involved, and in regard to it our party position is so critical, that we could not sacri- fice the character of a p*rly that is enduring to an over deforenre to the Government, whose existence-neces- sarily brief as compared to that of its parly-must be rendered yet more precarious by its not appreciating the spirit, and so casting awny the hearts of its supporters. At the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Horsman read to his Lordship a copy of the resolutions which had been passed at the meeting of Thursday, and which appeared in the GUARDIAN on Suturduy last. Lord Palmerston, after pausing for a short time to see whether any other member wished to address him after Mr. Horsman, said that there could be lilt doubt as to the importance of the question at issue, and that the Govern- ment were as desirous of the settlement of it as any gen- tleman present, and had proved themselves to be so by introducing a measure to carry out those views in the form most likely, in their opinion, to be passed. That as to Lord John Russell's notice it Was impossible for a Government to promise support to a bill which they had not seen and of the provisions of which they were ignorant but they woul.1 give all their support. to Lord John in the introduction of the Bill of which he harl given notice for this evening. As to the futuie stages of the Bill he must n-mind the meeting that we were now In the middle of July, and that Parliament was expected to rise in the middle of August, and that the agreeable morning they passed in the House of Commons last Satuiday was a tolerable conclusive proof of the difficulty they would have in carrying the Bill this session and in reference to Lord Ilarrowby, and his abstaining from voting on the division in the House of Lords, it was right to state that Lord Ilarrowby had entered the Government with an understanding that he should not be able to support any Bill for the admission of Jews into Parliament j that Lord Palmerston was anxious to obtain his assistance and co- operation, and had not felt it to be possible to secure perfect and complete unanimity on all points in his Government; that an instance of the difficulty of secur- ing that unanimity was to be found in the Ballot, on which he as well as Lord John Russell held strong opinions one way, and so many of their ftiends and sup- porters held opinions as strong on the other side but there was an express understanding that though Lord Harrowby could not vote in favour of the admission of the Jews he would not vote against a Government mea- sure; that, in reference to sealing Baron Rothschild by resolution, he could hold out no hope of acquiescence on the part of the Government in any such attempt, as it would be in opposition to a judgment of a court of law, and involve the House of Commons it, niDSt unseemly contests with the courts of justice that as a matter of tactics he doubted whether the bill of Lord J. Russell, if it passed through the House of Commons, would not lose much of its effect by being carried up by a smaller ma- jority than the Government Rill; that many circum- stances combined to render the majority ai^ainst the Government in the House of Lords on the last occasion larger than it otherwise would have been, but he did not despair of the feeling in the Upper House on the subject undergoing a change. Lord Palmerston acknowledged the importance of some turth -r points which were sug- gested to him by Mr. Walter and by Mr. Locke, and promised that they should be considered. The deputation then thanked his Lordship and with- drew. The meeting, by adjournment, of the members of the House of Commons favourable to the principle of the Par- liamentary Oaths Bill was then held at the Kiug's Arms non.), 1 alace-yard, to receive the replllt of the deputa- tion to Lord Palmerston. Amongst the members present were, Mr. H. A. Bruce, Mr. L. L. Dillwyn, Colonel Stuart, and Mr. II. H. Vivian. Mr. Horsman occupied the chair. Mr. Locke said the impression with which he had'come away from the interview with Lord Palmerston was not at all un- favourable, because that noble lord distinctly said that he would support the Bill of Lord J. Russell. lie would move as the first resolution ''That Lord Palmerston having announced the intention of the Government to support the Bill introduced by Lord John IIUSSPII, it is inexpedient to consider our future course until Lord J. Russell's Bill shall be disposed of." Mr. Crawford seconded the motion. Mr. Dillwyn (Swansea) entirely concurred in opinion as to the absolute necessity of their acting with perfect unanimity on the question; but lie wished to suggest one alteration in the terms of the resolution. Instead of saying that it was inexpedient to consider their future course until Lord J. Russell's Bill should be disposed of, he would suggest that the words until the result of to- night's debate is ascertained should be inserted for if the resolution were passed in its present shape the Bill might be suspended till the end of the session, and the advocates of energetic action might be precluded from taking any further steps until next year. Mr. J. Locke assented to the proposed alteration in the terms of his motion. After a few remarks from Mr. Ayrton, the resolution as amended was agreed to, and the meeting adjourned.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF COMMON S—WzBNEttDAY. A large portion of the time appropriated to private business was occupied in the discussion of a clause in- setted by the House of Lords in the Great Northern Railway (Capital) Bill, declaring the liability of the dividends of the preference shareholders equally with those of the. ordinary shareholders for the losses arising from the frauds of Redpath. It was urged among other grounds of objection to this clause, especially by Mr. Lowe, that its insertion was beyond the jurisdiction of the committees of both Houses, and that the courts of law should be left to decide the question of liability upon a construction of the legal instruments by which each class of shareholders held their rights. The House ultimately resolved to disagree with this amendment of the Lords. Mr. Hardcastle, in moving the second reading of the Public Charities Bill, explained its objects-to di- minish the expense upon the appointment of fresh trustees of charity property, and to affurd to trustees an opportunity of incorporating themselves-and the meaa. proposed for attaining those objects. The motion was seconded by Mr. Evans. Sir J. Trollope opposed the motion. He bad, be said, numerous objections to the Bill, which involved a very large principle. It entirely ignored the Charity Commission, and created a new and expensive Govern- ment Board. He moved to,defer the second reading three months. Mr. Massey, on the part of the-Government, likewise urged various objections to the measure, in particular the extensive and complicated machinery- it proposed. The amendment was agreed to; the bill is therefore lost. The Married Women Bill was ordered to be referred to a select committee. On the motion of Mr. Maguire, after sundry speeches npon this often discussed subject, the order for the second reading of the Tenant Right (Ireland) Bill, which had been introduced by the late member for Mayo, was discharged. The House then went into committee upon the new clauses of the Burial Acts Amendment Bill. Mr. Massey moved another new clause, enabling in- cumbents to bury in burial-grounds certified by the Secre- tary of State, prior to the consecration thereof. It was intended, he said, to meet the difficulties which had arisen in consequence of a right rev. prelate refusing to consecrate a burial-ground until provision was made for the conveyance of the incuiribent to and from the ground. and of another right rev. prelate refusing to consecrate because the separation between the consccrated and uuconseerated parts was insufficient. Mr. Gladstone appealed to the hon. gentleman not to press a clause which was open to the gravest objections. Mr. Dillwyn said that time for consideration had been given to the right rev. prelate in question, and there was no prospect of an amicable settlement. He was himself prepared to have submitted a stronger remedy, but the Under Secretary of State was anxious to conciliate both parties, and had introduced the clause now under discus- sion. The complaint of the inhabitants of Swansea was, that they were prevented from interring the bodies of their deceased friends in their own burial-ground, and, in consequence of the dispute, members of the Church of England had been compelled to- resort to outlying burial- grounds, or to call in the service of a Dissenting minister to perform the last rite of religion for their departed friends and relatives. Sir W. Heathcote had no doubt of the excellent mo- tives which had suggested the clause, but thought it would be unwise on account of a particular grievance to legislate in a manner that would lead to still greater in- conveniences. The committee then divided, when there voted :-For the clause, 108; against it 69: majority, 39. The clause was accordingly read a second time. Mr.Ditwyn proposed a new clause to the effect that the unconsecrated part of any burial-ground which shall have been sanctioned by the Secretary of State, and re- specting which the Secretary of Slate shall have certified that the necessary provisions have been complied with, shall immediately, upon being so certified, be deemed a part of the burial-ground of the parish or parishes for which the same has been provitiett. Mr. Massey cousidered the clause unnecessary, its 01». ject being secured by the existing law; and it was ac. coidingly withdrawn. Mr. Dillwyn moved a clause to make the feet in uncon- secrated ground identical in amount with the fees received in consecrated ground. The clause was agreed to, as was also the remaining clauses. Certain Bill. were read a third time and passed; others were advanced a stage, and the House adjourned at five minutes to six o'clock.

A Cabinet Council was held on Wednesday, nt the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Downing-street. The Ministers present were—Vis- count Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Gran- ville, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Harrowby, Sir G: Giey, the Earl of Clarendon, Mr. Secretary Lahouchere, Lord Panmure, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith, Lord Stanley of Alderley, the Right Hon. M. T. Baines, the Duke of Argyll. The Hon. and Rev. W. Somerville, rector of Bar- ford, VVarwickshire, has been drowned in the Mersey, near Liverpool. He was proceeding in a small boat to visit his son, an officer on board a ship lying out, when the boat was swamped. TUB JOCKEY CLUB.—The reader may remember the late trial of Sidebottom v. Adkins, in which a sum of about t6000 was recovered from the defendant on the ground that it had been won by cheating with loaded dice. The Jockey Club have directed that Mr. Adkins be warned off the Heath at Newmarket, and that no horses of which he may be in whole or ill part owner be allowed to run on any ground over which the Jockey Club exercise jurisdiction. Notice is also to be given to Ignatius Francis Coyle not to come upon the race-course or exercise-ground at Newmarket. It has been announced that the cahle of the Atlantic telegraph is finished, and its shipment on board the Agamemnon and the Niagara was completed on Wednesday morning. These vessels will sail Oil Saturday for Queenstown, and in the ensuing week they will commence laying down the line from Valentia-bay. The process, it appears, is to be carried on entirely from this side, the vessels steaming direct to St. John a, Newfoundland. Originally it was pro- posed that they should join the two portions in the middle ot the Atlantic, and that the Niagara should then steam for America and the Agamemnon for England, each paying out the line until they reached their respective ports. FATAL POISONING BY MISTAKE.-An inquest was held on Tuesday, at Taunton, by Mr. W. W. Munckton, coroner for West Somerset, on the body of Mary Ann Arscott, an aged widow residing in Mary-street, Taunton, who died on the preceding Saturday from the effects of an overdose of laudanum* taken for tincture of rhubarb. The deceased dis- covered her mistake immediately after she had swal- lowed the poison on Friday morning. Mr. Welsh, surgeon was at once called in, and emetics and otbef means were employed to counteract the effects of the laudanum. She, however, fell into a state of stupor, and died about five o'clock on Saturday morning. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased died from the cifects of poison administered by herself in mistake. SLAVEKY IN THE UNITED STATES.—RUNAWAY — On Sunday last three Blaves—two belonging to Mr. Sanford, and one to Mr. J. Derry, made tracks lr°( Heniy county, Kentucky. They were traced across Ohio river, and on Monday discovered hidden in brush and behind logs, about four miles back from river, on Kane's Bianch. The negroe9, being arme"' made a desperate rrsistance, and one of them, belong"0^ to Berry, while in the act of shooting Mr. Humphreys, one of his pursuers, was shot, and insl»n' killed. The second escaped, while the third was arreste Hnd taken back to Kentucky—Cicmmiali Commrrcif1' June 24. —Large Sale of Slaves.—The slaves belong*0* to the estate of Ruben Chancy, deceased, were sold Monday last to the highest bidder, in the southern Plrtof this county, at the following unprecedented Pr'ceS-'jr) Winston, 23 jears old, 1.580 dollars; Daniel, 19, dollars; Abner, 25, 1.395 dollars; ilalph, 27, dollars woman and child. 28, 1,100 dollars Sarah, 930 dollars; Jack, 9, 975 dollars; Caroline, 71} dollars; 1 rancis, 5, 5 10 dollars Oiange and Yico, 50U dollars Jttne, 3, 405 dollars; Ellen, II, blind in eye, 315 dollars; Nancy, 2, 310 dollars; Vins, 60, dollars; lioda, Go, 25 dollars—total, 11,545 doll"' These slaves were not bought by the heirs, but purchased by citizens of this county.
