THE PRINCE 01' WALKS AT WATEBXOO.—Hia Royal Highness the Prince of Wales visited the field of Waterloo on the 8th inst., proceeding thither in a private carriage from Brussels. After- wards he drove to the Groenendael Station of the Great Luxembourg Railway, a distance nf five miles, and proceeded on that line to Namur, where he arrived at half past three o'clock. His royal highness slept at Numur, and the next day continued his journey towards Germany. VISIT OF THE EMPEROR AXD EMPKESS OF THE FRENCH.—We believe we aro justified in making the announcement that it is the intention of the Emperor and Empress of the French to visit the Art Treasures Exhibition in the course of the n,xt six weeks. The Count De Nieuerkerke, hav- ing received the instructions of the Emperor to at- tend Hie Exhibition and report upon its contents, was specially admitted on Wednesday during the visit of her Majesty and the Royal Family, and expressed himself extremely gratified with the re- suit. The Emperor and Empress will probably sojourn in Manchester two days.—Post. CAPTIVES OF INDIANS BUTCHERED.—We chron- icle with intense pain, the following intelligence from Redwood, up the Minnesota river. The first report as to the murder of both the women in cap- tivity is only partially true. One of them, Miss Gardner,has been found by some Yank on Indians, and brought into Yellow Medicine. She had been placed on a hill as a target by the red devils of the Spirit Lake Massacre, and shot at, the whole band alternating in the sport. Both licr legs were broken, and she was left to die. She says that the tormentors had murdered Mrs. Noble a few days previously, before her eyes, and left her on the prairies. The friendly Yanktoos were about to bring the poor g'rl, Miss Gardner, to St. Paul. GENERAL CONCHA, AND Tlll-, 11 TIMES. "—We read in the New York Irerald: Our advices from Havanna state that the Gaeetn there has given a plump denial to the assertions of the Ma- drid correspondent of of the London Times,that Gen- eral Concha has made a million of dollars through Connivance at the slave trade at Cuba, and it is further said that the Captain-General of that island will immediately sue the Times for libel upon his character. This is following in the footsteps of Napoleon, who once sued that journal for the same thing. Geneial Concha has in this a good pre- cedent for an aition against the journal, though we very much dcuot if he will be able to recover any great amount as damages. If it is true that he has made the money, there will be some fine pickings for the lawyers. We doubt not-whether General Concha is guilty or not—that the develop- ments as to the slave trade in Cuba, and New York participation in it, would be highly interesting."

A.IK-PLAXTS— Yes these queer-leaved vegetablei half-plant, half-fungus, banging in their cradles 0 damp sticks, or anchored mid-air on Lome wire-hung block of wood-always put me in mind of calum- nies, Peter. Rooted innothing at all but some dead bough, some branch cut off and rotted-feeding on nothing at all but air, the nitrogcnic exhalation of wholesome plants around them-these things, not- withstanding, live and grow and arc green of leaf, are curious in flower, ay, and sometimes come to bear their own especial poison-fruits and seed for future generations. And so with all this so fre- quent calumny, born of a lie, nurtured by gossip,it clings a poisonous living lichen to the falsehood that begat it, and neighbours watch the oddness of its leaf, and the monstrosity of its flower, and never (if they can help it anyhow) let the queer amusing evil creature die The stinking wonder of the green-house rnusn't periji,and sl-.an'tit t eir tongues can help the matter. It was Lord Melbourne I think, who gave parliamentary recognition to his dread, as premier, to the power of falsehood; as a lie is not a thing to be dispised, let every man in wisdom and in calmness answer calumny on occas- ion; not going far out of his way to do so, but as Providence offers; and not anxious alout resulta.but as Providence wills let him judge,however,that the God of Truth is better served when falsehood is crushed than when it is left live; even though this be-for utter scorn's sake. There may be a humility in answering, as there is a pride in silence and we know who is always on the side of him that hum- bleth himself. Nature's everteaching parable de- clares, that the airy orchids are among the most poisonous tropical weeds, growing in deadly mar- shea where the cobra sucks its venom, and the fatal wuiirali-berries hang in clusters over miasmatic pools. Let us dread such moral air plants, those uncharitable rumours of neighbours wherewith un- iversal Little Peddington is every gladly rife: for though so feebly rooted in seme dead and buried lie, our breath may give them leave to live and  help their poison to do harm.

FOREIGN NEWS. THE GREAT INDIAN REVOLT. Despatches from India and China, by overland inail, via liarscilles, have been received. The Inditn advices are to the following dates: Bombay, June 15 Calcutta, June 7 and Madras, June 11. The Bombay Timet, in its fortnightly summary of intelligence for the overland mail, thus sketches the situation in India:—The great Brahmin con- federacy of the Bengal army has declared itself openly against the Government, and by the pro- cess of mutiny, disbandmeut, and disarming, be- tween twenty and thirty thousand soldiers of the empire have vanished from the ranks of the army in the last month. In this Presidency, however, we have had touching proofs of the loyalty of the sepoys. The station of ?usseerabad in Rai Pootana2 having been garrisoned by two regiments of Ben- gal Infantry, through the drain upon our forces for Persia, the only troops there belonging to the army were 250 men of the 1st Lancers. The Bengalees soon showed sympathy with the mutineers of Delhi, and atter a vain attempt to seduce our Lan- cers to join them, openly mutinied on the 28th ult- imo. Uur gallant fellows charged them repeated- ly, although the rebels had got possession of the guns of the station and out-numbered them eight to one. The odds, were, however, too Ion, and the Lancers were compelled finally to retreat upon Ajmere, thereby securing the safety of the impor- tant arsenal at that station. The mutineers hav- ing march :d in the direction of Delhi, our troops finally returned to, ani have re-occupied, Nuss- eerabad. Colonel Penney, Major Spottiswoode, and Cornet Newberry, of the Lancers, fell in the attack; and Captain E. A. Hardy, and Lieuten- ant F. A. E. Loch are amongst the wounded. The mutineers from Meerut arrived at Delhi on the morning of Monday, the 11th. of May, and the native infantry regiments there at once fraternised with them. They were the 38th, 54th, and 74th ) Regiments. Tho Artillery (3rd Company 7th Ben- gal Native Artillery) scom to have joined in the movement most reluctantly, but eventually con- sented to act with them. Tire puppet King was then set up, and the search began for European life. Very many were fortunate enough to escape from the ill fated station—some protected by the Sepoys themselves—but others, and amongst them a large number of women and children, fell into the hands of the infuriated crew, thirsting for the blood of the infidel, and frenzied with blang. The Sappers and Miners were ordered into Mee- rut from lioorkee immediately upon the mutiny having transpired. The day after their arrival a portion of them, about 400 mutined, and shot their commanding officer, Fraser. They then made off towards Delhi, but were pursued by two squadrons of the Carabineers, who overtook them aOout six miles off, and killed 74 of them. One of the Cara- bineers was killed, and two or three were wound- ed, Colonel Hogg among the latter. Passing down the list we come now to the 5th and 60th Regi- ments at Umballah. We are without detailed ac- counts of the disaffection in these corps, but they are reported to have refused to march on Delhi when ordered so to do by wings, unless they were allowed to go as a body. Their mutinous state has been well known for some time, and fires have been of nightly occurrence in the station. At Murdaun, in the Punjaub, the 55th Regiment Native Infantry broke into open mutiny of the fate of their officers we are uncertain. A detach- ment of Europeans from Peshawur are on their track, and have already slain many of them, and taken one hundred anll fifty prisoners into Pesawur. At Agra, the 44th and 77th Native Infantry were immediately disarmed upon news of the defection of their detachments at Muttra, who had seized the treasury there, and marched to Delhi, and the measure was doubtless imperative, for fires have been of constant occurrence there alsti. T!te 3rd Regiment of Native Infantry at Phillour are re- ported to have burnt down the station and openly mutinied. The report is, however, since contra- dicted, so that the matter is in doubt. Cwnporc was in a state of siege on the 1st inst., the ladies and children all shut up in the for;. At Lucknow the rebellion broke out with fury on the night of 31st, the regiment we have specified above, mu- tinying and burning and plundering in all direc- tions. We await further intelligence from thence. To what extent the disarming of the native re- giments has been carried in the Punjaub we are unable to state, but we have certain information that the native troops at Meean Meer and Pesha- wur were so treated on the dates indicated. A force of 25,000 to 30,000 men has thus melted away from the Bengal army list witiiin a few weeks, but whether the process has reached its limits or not we are unable to say. And now for the measures which have been ta- ken in this emergency. A powerful force is con- verging upon Delhi, the importance of an early re- capture of which city is very great. The most nn- accountable delay seems to have characterised the movements of General Anson, the news of whose death by cholera at Kurnaul on the 27th ult. took all India by surprise. General Barnard, the next in command upon the spot, must, we think, have reached Delhi by this time, and we are hourly a- wdting the news of its capture. lie has a con- siderable force with him, and it is not likely the mutineers will be able to make a long stand against him. Pending the advice of the force, the muti- neers have moved out of Delhi, and attacked the Meerut division, which had occupied the village of Ghadeenuggur, about equidistant between these places. They were speedily routed by the Rifles, and lost the five guns with which they advanced to the attack. Not discouraged, they made a second attack on the 30th ultimo with the same result, and since then we are without information of their movements. Our loss in these attacks was occa- sioned mainly by the explosion of a magazine, which placed 41 of the Rifles in the list of killed and wounded. The army advancing on Delhi is composed as follows :—2 troops of Horse Artillery, 9th Lancers, 1 squadron 4th Lancers, her Majes- ty's 75th Foot, 1st Fusiliers, six companies 2nd Fusiliers. The Meerut force, which will unite with it, is as follows :-6th Carabineers, 60th Iti- fles, 4 Horse Artillery guns, a horse battery, 2 18 pounders, 120 Artillery recruits, and some Sappers, Sirmoor Battalion. The Panjaub authorities have manifested con- siderable vigour in the emergency, the troops being disarmed in all directions, as soon as the news of Meerut tragedy arrived. From Bombay we have despatched by steamer to Calcutta, her Majesty's 64th and 78th Regiments Foot, and the Battery of Madras Artillery that was waiting here transport for Madras. The Semiramis has been sent down to Ceylon to carry up her la- jesty's 37th Foot from that island. From Kurra- chee we have despatched up the Indus our first European Regiment (Fusiliers\ and the 1st Belooch Regiment, and these are, perhaps, all the troops available from this presidency unless the re- turn of the Persian expeditionary forces enables us to forward some of the native troops which com- pose its strength. We are informed that two steamers have been despatched to intercept. the troops destined for China. One has gone to the Straits of Sunda, the other to Galle. Lord Elgin of course has the power to disregard the requisition, but is not likely to exercise it in view of the urgent representations that have been made. The punish- ment of the Cantonese may Very well wait our leisure under the circumstances. Madras is fur- nishing her contingent, and the European forces in Bengal is already reinforced by her 1st Regiment of Fusiliers, who are pushing on rapidly to the nnrHi.wn.it A fpw weeks will nrohablv uive an addition of 12,000 men to the British army in the Bengal presidency. It is satisfactory, in conclusion, to state that in no part of the country have any symptoms whatever been shown of sympathy with the movement. The disaffection is confined entirely to the army; and so far as the country is concerned, the movement is an utter failure The inhabitants of Calcutta of all communities, even the Maliom- medan not excepted, have presented addresses to the government, breathing the utmost loyalty, expres- sive of the deep conviction entertained that the well- being of India is involved in the quiet maintenance of the English rule, and testifying the utmost ab- horrence of the treason of the soldiery. The native inhabitants of Bombay have prepared an address to Lord Elphinstone, expressing their abhorrence of the mutinous conduct of the sepoys of Bengal and the North-west. There are at Bombay three bat- teries of artillery ready for service at any moment. At Ahmedabed the guns are in position on the walls of the arsenal. ) LATEST NEWS FROM DELHI. [ Two telegraphic messages from the Lieutenant- f Governor of Agra, reached the Bombay Govern- ment on the 11th June, and were immediately made public. The first ran thus ;-There has been great success on the 8th of this month cut- side the walls of Delhi. Twenty-six guns cap- tured, and the rebels driven dispirited into the town. All the heights in our possession. The second, dated also on the morning of the 11th, but a few hours later,is more explicit:—Mr. Greathead, agent to the Lieutenant-Governor, writes from before Delhi, June 8tli-We have made good our point to-day, and aro now encamped on the parade- ground, with the heights between the cantonments and the city in our hands, and in a position to com- mence the siege at once. The enemy had taken I up a strong position at Badulla Serai, which was carried, with the capture ot all the guns. The pursuit was so sharp that the gunners threw them- selves off their horses and left the fieldpieces stand- ( ing in the road, The heavy guns remain in pos- ition. 26 guns in all have been captured to-day, and large quantities of ammunition and iairench- ing tools. A Bombay letter of the 15th Juno says:—The mail has been kept open till this hour, and is now about to cl ise. No further news from Delhi. General Reed was expected fro in Peshawur about the 9th, to take he command from Sir II. Barnard. Sir Patrick Grant has left Madras to succeed Gen- eral Anson in the command of the Bengal army only. By the Calcutta papers of the 3rd we learn that the mutiny at Lucknow was not so bloodless as was believe 1. The revolted soldiery were attack- ed by Sir Henry Lawrence (with, it is supposed, the 32nd Queen's and artillery), and driven out of the cantonment with'some loss. Brigadier Hands- comb is reported killed. Besides these regular troops, 300 of the Oude Irregular Cavalry are said to have killed Captain Hayes, their commanding officer, but that officer was military secretary to the Chief Commissioner. However, be they who they may, it seems clear that they have mutinied and made for Delhi, avoiding the volunteer horse from Agra, who were out after them. CAVALRY CHARGE AT NUSSEERABAD. So much doubt was there regarding the native troops at Nusseerabad, that a picket of the Bom- bay Lancers—who fortunately had not been taken away from the station—mounted guard over the Bengal battery. On the 29th of May, at about 4 in the evening, the storm broke over that devoted station. It commenced by a rush of the mutineers to the guus there they soon overpowered the poor Lancers who were guarding them, and loading with cannister, those men, numbering upwards of 2,000, awaited the deadly strife. And now en- I sued a passage of arms, which tor brilliant gallan- try, determined coolness, and devotion, stands, I think, as we hear it, unequalled in the annals of history. The Bombay Lancers (1st Light Cavalry,) who for seven days had remained booted and sad- dled in expectation of such emergency, we mount- ed and formed up instantly. Officers fell in at the heads of their respective troops, the word was given to march, and with the chivalry of Knights Tern- plars this brave body (in number short of 200) went forward almost to certain death. As they neared the cursed battery the word was given to "charge." Regardless of the fearful leaden shower that in- stantly opened upon them, and the terrific gaps it occasioned in their serried ranks, each man, from the colonel to the youngest trooper, emulating the deeds of their gallant European comrades at Bala- klava, only pressed the more eargerly and deter- mindly forward. Through and through the mun- nous scoundrels did they ride, and only desisted when the commauding officer, seeing the great loss they had already sustained, and the woful inequa- lity of the contending parties, sounded the recall, and directed the few men who remained to cover the retreat of the ladies and families from the sta- tion. This they did, conductiug them in safety to a village thirty miles distant, from whence a hand- ful of men again issued and succeeded in capturing one of the guns. In this gdlant affair the regi- ment lost Capt. Spottiswoode and Cornet Newbery, killed Colonel Penney dieel immediately after the action; and Captain Hardy and Lieutenant and Adjutant Loch wounded; the number of men kil- led is not known. It is impossible to over rate the confidence this gallant conduct of the Lincers has created in all quarters. Nobody ever doubted that the Bombay troops were faithful and staunch to a man, and this is the most undeniable proof they could have of it. CHINA. From China we IcaTil that the gunboats have gone up the Canton river to attack the "bnd rin junks. General Garrett and his staff have arrived: A battle has been fought between the Imperialists and the rebels above Fon-ehow-fjo, aud it was be- lieved that the ImpGridHsts had been victorious. Sir John Bowrin? had intimated that compensation t for loss sustained by British subjects will be de- manded from the Chinese government.

THE DELHI MISSION.—In a letter from Dr. Kay, J the principal of Bishop's College, Calcutta, he give" the following particulars regarding the fate ot the missionaries at Dellii The D. Ihi nnsslou has been completely swept away. Rumours to this j effect were current from the beginning of the out- bieak, but we kept on hoping that some of the mem- bers of the missi-m might have escaped. It is not, indeed, absolutely certain even now what has oe- eured, Yet even the most sanguine are compelled to believe that the Rev. Mr. Jennings and his daughter, the Rev. Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Sandus, and Chimmum Lall were all killed. Captain Douglas, too, a warm supporter of the mission, shared their fate. Of Run Cluiudor and Louis Koclc (the let- ter, of whom left college. only last January.) no- thing is said they may, therefore, have escaped— though our hopes are of the faintest kind. Two native Christians succeeded in escaping to Agra. One of them says that he saw Mr. Hubbard fall, the other that he saw Mr. Sandy's J"aJ body. And Mr. Jackson had been spared-his 1;fc given him for a prey What a deep interest will now attach itself in his mind to every incident of his missionary life at Delhi! Could you get him to send us a short narrative of anything that would illustrate the history of the mission r Surely, the place where they fell will henceforward be a hal- lowed spot. May it prove the seed-plot of a fu- ture large harvest of souls, to be gathered out of an ignorant, fanatical population." DESTRUCTION OF THE DEFENCE," CONVICT SHIP.-On Tuesday morning, at nine o'clock, a fire broke out on board the Defence," convict re- ceiving hulk, off Woolwich dockyard. The origin of the outbreak is uncertain, but the fire is suppos- ed to have arisen from a quantity of oakum which had accumulated in the hold becoming overheated. The stern of the ship was completely destroyed, and a quantity of furniture belonging to the of- ficers on board. The fire gained such an ascen- dancy before ten o'clock that it was found necess- ary to "scuttle" the ship to prevent her being burned to the water's edge, The prisoners were all removed, in the first instance, to the Unit hospit- al-ship, and the intelligence of the disaster having been communicated to the directors of convict prisons in Parliament-street, such prompt mea- suies were taken that the whole of the men on board, to the number of 150 invalids, were s-ifely removed to Millbank Prison,and located there with- out a single man having made his escape. YORKSHIRE SUMMEB. ASSIZES.—Ou Tuesday, Isaac Riishfcrth, 42, was indicted for having, ou the 2nd of February, at East Ardsley, admiuistcred to Kitty Little-wood a quantity of seeds of paradioe with intent to procure her miscarriage. It appeared that last year the prosecutrix lived at Sheffield, with her father, and, by his desire, she consulted the prisoner, who had the reputation of being a "wizard," or fortuue-teller, in Dewsbury ltoad. Leeds. A dis- graceful intercourse thcu took place between the prisoner and the prosecutrix, he having informed her that the gratification ot his desires would only effect a cure, she beigg said to be suffering from palpitation of tile heart. She found herself with child, and Ilc aiterwards gave her some grains of paradise, which produced a miscarriage on the 26th of March The J prisoner took her a beast's heart and some shoe- maker's tools to keep otf enemies, lie likewise gave her two picce uf parchment, one to charm her against being bewitched, and the other to procure her a young man. (Laughter). Guilty. Eighteen mouths' im prisonment. FIGHT KETWEEN TWO EAGLES.—From Noss in Bressa we learn that a battle was recently fought in that place between two large golden eagles, and so terrible was the fray and the desire for conquest between these kingly birds, tuat they ceased not in their onslaught till one of them was killed. The de id carcase of the vanquished was exposed to the View of visitants to that quarter last week, and seen by our informant. This deadly assault is sup- posed to have occurred as follows :—An eagle's nest was harried" in the Island of Unst, and the male and female, after some days' despondency for the loss of their home, betook themselves to flight, leaving the scene and neighbourhood of their des- pollers. Coming to the far-famed aviarv, Noss Head, they attempted to take violent possession of another bird's eyrie and the eaglets, which, of course, was resisted by the occupant, and the in- truder was so far chastised; but which of the two now lies in solemn state it is difficult to determine, j as the belligerents were at the beginning of the tilting very similar in plumage and size.—John i 0' Groat's Journal. THE COUla OF DIRECTORS.-It is with alarm that we hear rumours of discordant views, not only as between the Board of Con rol and the Board of Directors, but as among the directors themselves. Can it be possible at such a moment that. the news received by electric telegraph on Thursday evening or early ou Friday morning was not communicated to the directors till a late hour on Saturday ? Can it be possible that while some of the directors urge the immediate despatch of ships of war to the Hooghley and Bombay, others oppose a measure so admirably calculated to give confidence to the Europeans and scatter dismay through the ranks of the mutineers throughout India, upon some miserable calculation of a lew thousands of expenditure more or less? "A house divided against itself cannot stand." While directors are arguiug with directors, and the whole board with the Queen's government, India may be lost. Unity of purpose, too, is as requisite in India as in England. Lord Ellenborough's suggestion about the necessity of emancipating the commander. in-chief from "the politicals" ought cot to be dis- regarded. Such a crisis as now exists in Bengal calls for a dictator.Daily News.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. I HOUSE OF LORDS —FRIDAY. OATHS BILL. -i • -1 P I Earl GRANVILLE moved thu second reading 01 this bill. Brieflv remarking upon the obsolete cha- r racter and absurdity of the existing parliamentary oaths, for which the bill substituted a modernised formula, the noble lord passed on to notice the col- lateral consequonces that would ensue if the me. i- sure became law in the admission of Jews to seats in the Legislature. On this topic he repeated many of the arguments so often adduced in both houses to vindicate a step which, as he urged, removed the last relic of religious persecution, and admitted a meretricious class of the community to their full rights of citizenship, whereof they had been hither- to debarred by the accidental operation of a few words introduced into the Oath of Abjuration. Lord Granville afterwards replied at some length, and by anticipation, to the various objections which he expected to hear urged against the measure. Public opinion on the subject was, he said, strongly shown in the enormous majority of votes recorded in its favour by the members of the newly-elected House of Commons. The Earl of DERBY moved, as an amendment, that the bill should be read a second time that day six months. He dwelt upon the distinctive nation- ality of the Jews. Though they lived among other nations, they were not of them, and through ages of dispersion had retained the belief that one day they should be reunited under one polity. Lord LVXDHUKST supported the bill. He showed from history the steady progress that had been ef- fected in removing proscriptions and adopting the principle of toleration. The present measure was, he thought, an expedient and consistent step in the same direction. Replying to the objection that the Legislature would be un-ctmstiamsed. he contended that, by the same argument, the nation was un-chris- tianised already, since Jews were admitted to so many positions of dignity and influence. In Cana- da and other British colonies the Jews sat as mem- bers of the local Legislature without disparaging tho Christian character of the State. Lord Dungannon having spoken against the bill, and after some remarks from Lord Camoys, Lord S. de Decies, and Lord St. Vincent, The. Bishop of LONDON announced his acceptance of the measure. It constituted an act of justice to the Jews, and did not in his opinion endanger either the Protestantism or the Christianity of the Legislature. The Archbishop of CANTEiinuitY, on the other hand, supported the amendment. After remarks from the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Brougham, the Bishop of Oxford and the Duke of Argyll, their lordships divided on the motion for the second readiil--Contents-Present, 91 Proxies, 48-130. Xon-contcnts-Prescnt, 109; Proxies, 61-173. Majority against the government 31. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FIUDAV. I TROOPS FOR INDEK. I I Captain v IVI vx inquired whether the new regi- ments which had been placed under orders for In dia were to proceed in steamers or sailing-vessels. Mr. Y. SMITH stated that ten thousand men, for whose embarkation preparations had been made, would be despatched according to the original inten- tions by sailing-vessels. Of the four thousand ad- 'I ditional troops asked for by the East India Company since the receipt of the last serious intelligence, two thousand were to be sent in steamers and the re- mainder in sailing vessels. The men would he em- barked between the 21st and 29th inst., and it was hoped that at this favourable period of the year the voyage would be completed in the shortest possible time, viz., seventy davs. Sir C. NAPIER believed that the late Indian news had caught the government entirely unpre- pared. FREE NEGROES. Mr. TURNER, inquired whether any communica- tioil had taken place between the English and French Governments respecting the exports of free negioos from the west coast of Afriea to the French | Colonies in the AVest Indies, and whether ha was aware in what manner the negroes are to be ob- | tained. Under the denomination of free immigrants j these imported negroes, he contended, would prat- tically be reduced to a state of slavery. Lord PALMEHSTON said that many communica- tions had passed on the subject. Contracts had been entered into by the French for the importation of 1,200 negroes into Martinique. Her Majesty's Ministers, apprehending a renewal of the slave tridc in this quarter, had made representations to the French Administration, and received from them the most positive assurances that every care would be taken to prevent the fulfilment of the contract be- coming in any way conducive to a traffic in slaves, Here the matter now rested; but extreme vigilance would be exercised, and the progress of the transac- tion carefully watched. TESTAMENTARY JURISDICTION. The house went into committee on the Probates and Letters of Administration Bill, resuming at the 40th clause. The discussion of other clauses in the bill occu- pied a considerable time, followed by renewed de- bates upon some additional clauses and the sched- ule of tho measure. The bill was not finally dis- posed of until a late hour, when the house resumed, and shortly afterwards adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY. SALE OF OBSCENE BOOKS, &-C., PREVENTION BILL Lord CAMPBELL moved the third reading of this bill, and took occasion to refer to some remarks which he had made on Messrs. Smith and Sons, the eminent booksellers, in reference to the sale of an obscene book which had been sold at one of the railway-stations. He now wished to assure the house that he had fallen into a serious error with re- gard to the subject. These gentlemen did not al low immoral books to be sold at any railway station over which they had control. The noble lord beg- ged to acknowledge the assistance which he had re- ceived from Lord Lvndhurst in the revision of his j bill. Lord LYNDIIUR-ST supported the bill. He com- plained bitterly of the attack Lord Campbell had made on him on the occasion of the second reading of the bill, and added that offensive allusions were made to him in Lord Campbell's Lives of the Lord Chancellors of England,a copy of which had been sent to him by the noble and learned lord. He should further remark that, after his attack on him the other night, Lord Campbell came over to him with a smiling face and asked him to revise his bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought their lordships would not act very wisely if they (lid not give a third reading to the bill. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY was understood to support the bill. Lord CAMPBELL regretted, after the ample apolo gy he had made to Lord Lyndhurst, that he should have used such harsh expressions towards him. He feared he had been misunderstood with regard to certain words to which he had given utterance on a former ocasion, and he would appeal to the pub- lie as to whether his noble and learned friend was justified in the course which he had taken. After a few words from Lord Wensleyuale, the bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships adjourned at 9 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. INDTA-TITP LATE NEWS. Mr. DISRAELI, in consequence of the various state- ments as to the news from India, asked the govern- ment as to the intelligelleethey had received on the subject. tie wished also to ask whether it was the intention of the government to lay the papers re- I lating to the transactions in India upon the table of the house. Lord PALMERSTON- was not surprised that the re- ports which had recently been made public, should lead to the question the light hon. gentleman had put to him; but he was only able to say that all the information which the government had received was that of a telegraphic message.. When the despat- ches arrived he should certainly be ready to lay be- fore Parliament any portion of the communication which would give to parliament and to the public full information as to the course of events. There might be many reasons and explanations which it might not be for the interests of the public service j to make public. THE ORDNANCE SURVEY. liord ELCHO moved that, in the present position of the survey of Great Britain, the survey on the six-inch scale ought not to be proceeded with with- out further inquiry; and that the house was of opinion that a hum ile address should be presented to her Majesty, praying the appointmentof a Royal commission to inquire into the whole subject of the national survey, and reporton the scale or scales on which it should be made and published. Lord PALMERSTON hoped that the House would not be diverted from the important subject of dis- cussing in committee the details of the national ex- penditure, by the comparatively unimportant ques- tion of whether a survey should be made on a scale niiiiiber of in- of one inch, six inches, or any other number of in- ches. which if entered into would probably consume the whole night. He believed that the resolution of the house was wrong; but it having been delib- erately arrived at, it had only to be carried out. He objected to any delay in the survey; but would have no objection to a royal commission on the general subject at a future period. After a discussion, in which Mr. Napier, Sir D. Norreys, Mr. Wilson, Sir G. Grey, and Mr. Wil- liams took part, Lord ELCHO offered to withdraw his motion for the present; but the proposition was met by loud cries of Divide." The house was cleared, but the amendment was negatived without a division, and the house adjourned. nnrTSE OF LORDS.—IUESDAY. JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES BILL. <0 11 _1- The LORD Cm?CELLOK moved tne  — | ingof the JOUlt S^om^ WL The ohject of it, he stated, was to give a voice to the creditors in the v-iudin- up of affairs of insolvent joint stock | banks, and to all cr<ditors upon the samc foot ing, whil( pre\'euting any Of them from taking ad- ing, while l^e^ea^° ° individual 5hareliolders.

Lord PANMUKE, in reply, stated that o sci-eiv ships had been hired to take troops to India. After some further discussion, the subject drop- pe(l. ??n rcply to the Earl of Hardwickc, the Duke of ARGYLL stated he was happy to say the French Government had made this arrangement :-That if the packet with the Indian mails should arrive at MarsciUes within two hours of the departure of the regular mail trains they would forward the mails by express trains, and in the event of that train not catching the mail train at Lyons, the express would proceed all the way to Paris. The French govern- ment, however, objected to putting on an express train during the night. T.ie important mail of the 10th June, just received, was despatched by the French government half an hour after its arrival at Marseilles. It was received in London by 11 o'clock last night; and 20,000 letters, which came by it, were delivered this morning by the first delivery. The house adjourned at 6 50. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. PRIVATEERING. ro Mr. LYNDSAY moved for an address tor a copy oi Mr. Marcv's letter to the French government, in answer to the resolution of the Paris conference on and an y ot h er correi- the subject of privateering, and any other corres- pondence that may have passed between the British government and other powers on tho same subject. Lord PALMERSTON said it was not usual for go- vernment to produce correspondence between two independent governments. Mr. Marcy's letter to the French government was not officially in the pos- session of this government, consequently it could not be produced. After some observations from Mr. Bentinck, who contended that the Paris declaration would cripple England in time of war, LordJ. RUSSELL said he thought government ought to make some statement of the grounds upon which the declaration had been entered into after the war. He was afraid the consequences of the de- claration would he very serious but we were bound to it now. If the principle now laid down were to be acted upon, in the event of war with France or any of the great powers, they would have no motive whatever to make peace. After remarks from Sir C. Napier, the motion was withdrawn. RAILWAY TRAFFIC AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. D. GRIFFITHS moved the second reading of the Railway Traffic Act Amendment Bill in a long speech, which occasioned considerable amusement from the perseverance with which the hon. gentle- man. quoted fL-ont several blue books variousauthori- ties in support of the bill. After some discussion, a motion was made that the house do adjourn. The motion was unanimous- ly carried, and the house adjourned at. 12 HOUSE OF COMMON-?—WEDNESDAY. MARRIED WOH.5S BILL, Un the order ot the day for the secoutl reading ot this bill. Sir, Y. BULLRil on behalf of Mr. Milip.s, who was unavoidably absent, stated some objections to the hill, and moved t!t tt it be read a second time that day six months. Air. MILNKS defended the bill. Mr. MISSEV said that lie itit lurstood the Attor- ney-General was favourable t., the principle of the bill, but was desirous of introducing extensive modifications in committee. His own opinion was that the bill ought not to pass in its present form, as it would unsettle the whole StltO Of thing-, in m-irried life in connectiun with property. There was but littie chance of such a bill passing during the present year, and he, therefore, recommended that it should be referred to a select committee, with a view to its re-introduction next session After some further discussion, Sir E. Perry inti- mated his willingness to accede to tho request of Mr. Massey by sulfering his bill to be referred to a select committee, and s> stand )ver till nextseiiion. Mr. Roebuck and the Attorney-General for Ire- land joined in supo rting the second reading upon this understanding but several members expres- ised a dccided objection to the principle of the bill, and insisted upon a division—For the see.-)nd read- ing 120; Against it 65; Majority 5-5. LITEHAKY AND SCIENTIFIC IXSTfTUTIOXS BILL. Mr, IIUTT (lefined its object as being the exemp- tion of such institutions from local rates, and said be had introduced it at the instance of "the Royal Society of Arts.

ACTION AGAINST A RAILWAY Co.ML'ANY.—Dr. White late Inspector-General ot' Lunstie Asylums has brought an action against the Directors of the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway for injuries sus- tained by the accident which oceurred in the month of November last, and by which, five or six lives were lost, and several persons,including Dr. White more or less injured.

Scarry, ani onlv 12 years of age, who had been commited to the Liverpool Bor- ough Gaol, was on Friday morning found sus- pended in the cell in which he was confined, life being extinct. On the previous day the wretched boy was brought up at the police court on a charge of pilfering, the prrsecutor being his own mother. In consequence of her representations as to his bad conduct, the lad was reminded for a week, pre- paratory to being sent to a reformatory. CRIME IN SPArq.-Tlic- followin, incredible story is told in a Madrid journal :—An old man of l'ontevedra having for some lilllc been in a state of idiotcv was a heavy burden to his son, and the latter gravely proposed to it neighbour to sell the old man, who was very fat, to be melted down into grease. The neighbour having consented, a bar- gain was struck for 800 reals, and the purchaser procured a large cauldron in which to boll the old man but the authortities having heard of the atrocious affair, had the buyer and seller arrested, and they now remain in custody. The Madrid journals also relate that a young married woman of Ponlevedra was a few days ag.) found lying murdered by a roadside at a short distance from the town; she had received not fewer than niuutecu stabs in the throat and chest, and had afterwards had her head smashed by blows from a stone. A- nother criminal in the neighbourhood was ari-egted on suspicion of having committed the murder. THE QUEEX OF IIOLLAND.-Ilc-r Majesty the Queen of iioland (travelling under the name of the Countess of Burenl arrived in London on Tuesday from Holland. Her Majesty disembarked at Woolwich, and was received by his Excellency Baron Bentick, minister for the Netherlands at the Couit of St. James's, who attended her Majesty to Claridgc's Hotel, where a suite of state apartments have been engaged for her Majesty. The Queen is accompanied by her younger son, the Prince Alexandre. After tiie arrival of Majesty at Cia- ridge's Hotel, she was visited by her Royal High- j ness the Duchess of Kent.

Hop INTELLIGENCE.-About Canterbury the Ijine is growing stili, but not so rapidiv as last week. In some of the gardens it will be well bi auclietl out, and occasionally a hill is to be met with set for burr, which is very early. There is scarcely a groillltl, however, that is not swarming with lice, and in msey places there is honey dew. In Cioudhurst the biue still continues to progress, and so do the aphides. No sooner does the leaf expand thall it is eagerly sought by these vermin. Portions only of some grounds are so infested, the rest. being tolerably clear. The planters begin to anticipate partial blight. In the neighbourhood of Maidstone, during the last week, the hops have grown considerably, and at pre- sent are looking exceedingly well externally, with the exception of some pieces where the bine is short. When examined, however, the plants are mostly found to be in tested with a large quantity of lice. An interval of fine warm weather would, in all proba- bility, greatly improve the grounds and afford hopes of a satisfactory crop.

STRANGE SCEXE IN A Ciiuitcii.-Oli Sunday la-t the spectacle of a wiiijle congregation rising and leaving in the middle of Divine Service was wit- nessed in Arnesby church, Leicestershire. The usual congregation had assembled in the morning* when Mr. Chapman, the vicar, entered the desk and heg-an to read. The ehun;hwaldcl1 then step- ped forward and protested a::inst his going on with the service. A few words ensued, Mr. C.dar- j ing his interrupter to remove him. The church- warden thel left the church, followed by those who had assembled. There was no sermon. In the evening there was a Slight difference in the proceedings. The rev. gentleman read the prayers without interruption, but as soon, however, as tie hat3 given out his text the whole congregaiion n'sc with one accord and left the church. Mr. Chap- man then closed his book and abruptly left the pulpit. now Miss SMITH LEFT THE COURT.—The cir- cumstances of the ?-use adopted by one of the Glas- Kow agents employed in the case for getting off Miss Sm.th unmolested by the vast crowd waiting in Parliament-sq uarc and neignbiuirhood for her exit after her trial were, we aie told, as <o)Iowa:— He had provided himself with the dres? worn on the previous days of tier trial bv Miss Smith, and on her liberation from the bar he asked the sergeant of pulice in attendance whether he could find him a girl about the size of Miss Smith to personate her and go through the ordeal of driving in a cab to the gaol down the Ilijjh-street. The sergeant immediately recollected a girl who had for several days importuned the police officers to get her a sight ol the prisoner, saying she would give any- thing for the privilege. This girl was got, and be- ing told that not only would she get a sight of Miss Smith, but alio her dress, and a douceur besides if she would represent her in a cab, in order to dis- perse the mob frum the square, she undertook the job, and was dressed (by Miss Smith herself) ae- cordingly. In the tmautimt; a rumour was circu- lated through tht; crowd that Miss Smith was to dtive to the gaol to change her dress before going iit Jai--c, and orders were given to dear a spael: about the court-room doors. This being done, and the anxiety of the crowd raised to the utmost pitch by the perpetrators, up came the cab, and out came the fabricated girl in nearly a fainting state, and, being vith some little difficulty got int;) tile carriage along with the usual police, off drove the vehicle at a bieak-neck pace, followed by the whole rabble of expectants, and in a trice the Pariiament- square and all the thoroughfares about it were com- pletely cleared. Miss Smith then having been taken roun I through the Advocate's Libra ry, and put 111\ a different dress, with a coloured veil, quiet- ly walked away, accompanied by her brother and another young geutIeman,to the front of St. Giles's Church, where a cab was in waiting, and, entering it quiutly, Jehu drove away to Siatefurd, where sue met the Oaleionion train to Glasgow, and was carried by it to that city. She proceeded, we be- lieve, straight on to Kowaleyn, her father's resi- dence, near Helensburgh. "On dit" that on the O n dit" that o.i the day of the Lord Advocate's address she was asked what she thought of it? She replied, "When I hear the Dean of Faculty I will tell von. I never like to give an opinion till I have heard both sides." She pronounced the Lord Justice Clerk "a tedious old mail on the first evening of his summing up.— A correspondent of the Liverpool Albion says:- Miss Smith's father refuses to see her, aud ere this she has left for a foreign land. The defence has cost somewhere about £ 4,000. A greater sum than that was subscribed for the purpose by a few leading Glasgow merchants. One old bachelor, a relative and namesake of the junior member for the city, put down £ 1,000 as his own share. The Messrs. Holdsworth, to which firm Wiiliam Min- nock belongs were, it is said, willing to give the some measure of assistance so were the wwaithv I "J family of the Bairds, and a rich uncle (if the prison- er, from whom she has "expectations."
