offence whatever . The same character may be attributed t o Carlow . John Yeo was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in a common gaol at Exeter , on Tuesday , by Mr . Justice Coleridge , for assaulting Charles L axmore , a lunatic , of whom he had voluntarily taken charge , and otherwise illtreating him , by keeping him chained in a cell made of ¦ wood , and not properly supplying him with warm clothing . He had been confined for thirteen years . Dr . Bucknall said , in evidence , that there was not the slightest necessity for violence or confinement , as Laxmore was quiet , inoffensive , and amiable .
The governor of the Cranbrook Union Workhouse , Thomas Vincent Hatherley , was sentenced to two years ' imprisonment with hard labour , at the Maidstone assizes , for having seduced a pauper girl and administered drugs with a view to procure abortion . A clergyman was put into the box , who said that he had a high opinion of Hatherley , who had written to him on religious subjects . Baron Alderson refused to hear evidence which only showed that a man might commit the most atrocious offences under the mask of religion . Two trials for criminal conversation took place on
Wednesday , one at Maidstone , the other at Durham . In the former case the parties were a publican of 75 , living at Greenwich , who had married a young wife of fiveand-twenty . The offender in this case was a customer , and the criminal act which led to the trial was alleged to have taken place while Mr . Watson , the publican , was indulging in ah after-dinner snooze . Mrs . Watson and her lover , Mr . Sellers , crept up stairs respectively to the bedroom of the sleeping victim . But his nap was of short duration . He went up stairs also , and found his wife and Mr . Sellers locked in his own bedroom . The
verdict in this case was damages , £ 50 . The Durham case was simply disgusting in- its origin and details . The parties were a drunken wife , a surgeon who seduced her , or whom she seduced—it was not clear which , —and a husband , unsuspecting and the victim of the extremest domestic infelicity . Under such circumstances , though giving n . verdict for the husband , the jury very properly considered that it was no case for damages , as the prosecutor had gained rather than lost . _ The damages given were , therefore , merely nominal .

Limerick , it turns out , will not be blessed with a eontcBtfd election after all . As Lord Arunriel was proceeding In his canvasn down William-streut he was wnitrd on by a deputation authorized to announce the resignation of Mr . UumhcH . Being attended by the Roman Catholic clergy and a great mob of people , an immense Bhotit waa raised ; an < I Lord Arundel declared that he should complete his c . mvasn i » order that he ini # l > t make the * acquaintance of the electors of Limtiick . At the committee meeting in the evening doubta were « ug <( ente < l u « to whether the reni «; nUi' > i » wan a ruse in order to throw the " Surrcyitea" off their guard , but Lord Annulet ' * solicitor declared that to be impoarublo , ah everything was cleared for action . A curium colloquy took place : — " Lord Arundel said he would be guided by tho committee . "Mr . Murphy : I know your lordship is fatigued , as you Imvo Buffered much ntiyaicil hardship . " Lord Arundel : I don't mind what phyKTr : &r htttcUhip 1 have endured , especially when I eco around mtf gontle-> " «•» who have also Hiiifcred with uu « . " The crowds auttciubU-d in tlie uir . 'ets here becuno impatient , and there were loud cries for Lore ! Arundel BovercndMr . Quade , P . P ., CMllaghau ' a Mills , »
eoommended that his lordship would address a few vfords to the people , in order to let the world see that , the ' City of the Violated Treaty ' contained within it » walls a Roman Catholic population able to hurl defiance at Lord John Russell , who had menaced to prostrate and fetter the bishops and clergy of that faith . " Lord Arundel : I assure you , in his private capacity , Lord John Russell is not to be censured . " Reverend Mr-Quade : I have nothing to say to his private character , my lord ; but I can dial with him as a public man , and I denounce him as an enemy to Ireland —an enemy to the religion of the Roman Catholics of this country . { Hear , hear . )"
Lord Arundel did address the people , recommending them to meet the next day in " might , and strength , and numbers , " in case of accidents ; and also urging all parties to put away all " ill-will and animosity , " " be friends , " and " forget what had occurred . " In the evening bodies of women paraded the street ? , clad in green , and the never-failing tar barrels in a blaze were borne about the streets . Mr . Russell ' s committee 11 struck their colours , " and fairly gave in . The reasons assigned by him for his resignation are , the nearness of a general election , the continuance of " religious excitement , ' * which had risen so high as to " peril the fire exercise of the franchise , " the unpleasant and grievous thing it would be to " divide Catholic against Catholic , " and to encourage the " revival of sectarian feelings , " which would undo so much good ; he implies that his failure has arisen from the fact that the contest was
generally viewed as one of an entirely religious character , and that the electors felt called upon to choose Lord Arundel by way of defiance to the Whigs . By this ime , therefore , as the nomination took place yesterday , Lord Arundel is member for Limerick .

A letter in the 2 'i / nes of yesterday points out what the writer calls the " dust-heap of all nations , " namely , the piece of ground at the east-end of the Crystal Palace . We agree with him that it is a " nuisance . " Hotv the Commissioners could haveallowed its long continuance in so disgraceful a state w : cannot conceive .

The Hall of Commerce , Threadneedle-street , was last night occupied by a numerous party met to welcome Mr . George Thompson on his return home , and to celebrate the anniversary of the emancipation of the West Indian negroes . Mr . William Wells Brown , a fugitive slave , was called to the chair . Of course , after tea , the usual speech-making process was carried on—greatly to the delight of the audience . Mr . George Thompson f aid some astounding things about America , Which will please hit * Tory friends . lie called America an " impious nation " —an " atheistical nation "—spoke of " perfidious republican sinners , " and of the " leprosy of soul" of repu ' ., ' Iicans . After intimating that he was " prou 1 " of London , he exclaimed— " There would be a good moral lesson taught by that ineetinp . Such a meeting as that had yt-t to be held over the wide continent of America . It would
startle the whole of America—from the banks of St . Louis to the banks of the Sacramento , from the Atlantic to the Pacific .

In the House of Lords yesterday , among a host of bills of minor importance , the Royal Assent was given by commission to the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill . There now remains no measure of great political importance to be debated in Parliament * and consequently the business proceedings of the House of Commons are all of the win ding-up order . Yesterday , at the morning sitting , what was done was all of that character ; the principle subject of debate being the Episcopal and Capitular Estates Management ( No . 2 ) Bill . Great complaints were made that there was no
time to fairly consider the measure ; that it would be unjust to lessees of all descriptions of property to press the bill through without any opportunity being allowed duly to consider their interests . The principle of the bill was generally accepted , but objection to the details was almost universal . However , Ministers were resolved to carry their point , and a store of Treasury men were in readiness to outvote the dissentients—first on the adjournment of the debate , and then on going into committee . The character of the debate Was , therefore , that it was less a discussion of the merits of the bill than a match of tongue fence on the propriety of going on with it . "We observed that the opposition comprises men of all opinions , from Sir Benjamin Hall to Colonel Sipthorp .
The House continued to sit without the usual adjournment , and Sir John Pakinqton " , after some trouble in getting the orders of the day disposed of , moved : —
" That , in the opinion of this House , the British refiners of sugar should be permitted to refine in bond , and to enter their manufacture for home consumption , upon payment of the same duties as are levied upon refined sugar imported into this country . " The gist of his argument was , that the reduction of the differential duty in favour of the British Government constituted a case of hardship from which , conformabl y to the principles of Free-trade , he ought
to be relieved . Mr . La . bouchere opposed the motion , stating that the real objection to the change was the difficulty of checking so complicated a process , and preventing fraud , without a system of vexatious restrictions , which would occasion a great practical inconvenience to the trade . Mr . Mitchell was speaking , when , forty members not being present , the House was counted out at a quarter to nine o'clock .
