Miscellaneous. The Corporation Of London...
and was considered by many sportsmen to hare the same origin , being communicated to the grouse through feeding on heather unwholesomely affeeted by the same malady as the potato disease . The young bird * are already strong on the wing , areas large as partridges , and altogether promise to be a match to the quickest eye and steadiest hand on the approaching " twelfth . " No sooner had the Ninety-First Regiment been removed from Everton Barracks—some being sent to Manchester , and others to Bury and Preston—than the andit
Twenty-Eighth Regiment occupied their places , , would seem , adopted their feelings of hostility to the police . On two successive evenings this week collisions have taken place between the two forces . Policeman 174 was attacked most brutually by a Boldier of the Twenty-Eiffhth , and , when assistance arrived , a general melee between the soldiers and police took place . By great forbearance , the police succeeded in preventing any dangerous results from this violence until a picket from the barracks had been procured , into whose custody the soldiers were consigned , and they will be dealt with by
the military authorities . An action for libel has been brought against the proprietor of the Wesleyan Times . The alleged libel consisted in a series of articles purporting to be comments upon a certain charge of affiliation brought against the Reverend W . H . Clarkson . They arose in this way : —A servant living with Mr . Clarkson suddenly left his service pregnant , and declared that he was the father of the child . The charge was of course investigated before the magistrates , and there being no corroborative testimony to support the allegations of the girl , the case was dismissed . Articles were continually appearing in the Wesleyan Times after this , alluding to the case as " undetermined , " " undecided , " a " charge hanging over "
the Reverend gentleman . This he held damaged his character ; and on this ground he brought the action . Sir Frederick Thesiger appeared for Mr . Clarkson , and the Attorney-General defended Mr . Kaye , the proprietor of the paper . The defence set up was , that the articles in question were " fair" commentaries , which Mr . Kaye had a right to make . Much of the defence was also mixed up with the conduct of the Wesleyan Conference in the matter . They ought to have taken up the charge and investigated it , but had not done so . Lord Campbell summed up the case . The question for the jury was , whether the comments made by the defendant in these articles were prompted by a desire to be of service to the Wesleyan Connection of which he was a member ,, and with the view of serving the cause of religion and morality , or whether he made himself a partisan in the matter and wished to insinuate and make it £ ^
be believed that the prosecutor was actually guilty of the offence laid to his charge . The defendant deserved the credit of having published a perfectly fair report of the proceedings before the justices . It wjuld be for the jury to say whether his comments bore tie 6 ame character of fairness . His lordship read passages from the various articles , and commented on them . With regard to what had boen done by the counsel who attended for Mr . Clarkson before the justices , it was the duty of the counsel to take the objection , and it was the duty of the justices to act upon it . The jury would look at all the articles in the defendant ' s paper , and would say with what purpose they had been written , and according as they were-believed to be fair comments or partisan strictures , the verdict would be for the defendant or for the prosecution . The jury found the defendant Guilty , but repommmded him to mercy " on the ground of the strong party feeling existing . " Y t y I } 3 5 i | * 5
William Kastwood , of Wandsworth , charged with having murdered his wife at supper by stabbing her with a tal ) le-knift ' , has been found guilty of manslaughter , and sin . enced to transportation for life . Two young fellows were brought before the Common Serjeant in the Third Court , charged with picking pockets , the name of one wus Seholefield , his age eighteen . Mark Bull , a City officer , said Scbolefield had been a thief for above eight years . Seholefield : I beg your pardon , sir , only four years and a half . The Common-Serjeant said that was too long ; and transported them for seven years .

The Progresso Of The «5th Iiiht. Announc...
The Progresso of the « 5 th iiiHt . announces that the Military Commander of Lodi had been stabbed with a poniard . From Preshurp : to Pesth an earthquake was felt on the 2 nd instant , which was so violent at Coraorn that all the bells rang and few houses escaped injury . Some Jewish capitalists who are driven from Russia by the oppressiveness of " the late measures there against their persecuted race , are endeavouring to purchase large tracts of land for the formation of Jewish colonies in Hungary . The Courtier do In Somme of the 5 th , published at Amiens , says : — " We have just learned that l' 2 , 000 uniforms of French national guards have this day been eeized at the Custom-house of JJoulogne-sur-Mcr . These uniforms were comprised amongst the luggage of the ex-Duke of Brunswick , and were presented for transit only . "
A letter from Venice , published by the Genoa Gazette of tho 4 th inst ., states that fifteen respectable inhabitants of Treviso had been arrested and thrown into prison . Among them were ueveral clergymen , aud physicians , a merchant , aiid two ladiea . They were , it appears , accused of having bubscribed to tho Mazzini loan . From statistical accounts published in tho Milan Oazetto of tbe 28 th ultimo , it appears that , since the 17 th of May last , the court-martial of the Eastern I , ombaruo-Vcnetiari districts has pronounced 212 condemnations , including H 6 sentences of death . In 1849 there weio 2 / 514 sentences pronounced by courts-martial at Padua and ltovigo ; in 1850 the number sank to 1329 . There have been 223 in the first quarter of the preeenk year .
The Duke of 8 axe-Coburg Ootlui has recovered from his recent acccidont : it wus not so serious as at first atatcd .
A return has just been made of the urns received for the use of the public conveniences and lavatories , which shows in the most striking manner the complete success of the plan of the committee appointed by the Council of the Society of Arts , for establishing accommodations of this character upon a self-supporting system . We understand that the council , in pursuance of the recommendation of the committee , have leased three houses in the Strand and Fleet-street , which it is intended to fit up as model establishments of this character . We would recommend respectable shopkeepers , and others possessing suitable premises in public thoroughfares , to consider the propriety of at once placing themselves in communication with the committee , for the purpose of cooperating in the supply of a want long felt by the public at large .
An important alteration has just been made by Parliament with respect to voters known as " Compound Householders . " The new act is entituled " An Act to amend the Law for the Registration of certain Persons commonly known as ' Compound Householders , ' and to facilitate the exercise by such persons of their right to vote in the election of borough members to serve in Parliament . " By parties availing themselves of the provisions of the act before the 20 th instant the franchise may be extended . According to the Reform Act ( 2 nd and 3 rd William IV ., chap . 45 ) the poor ' s rates are required to be paid by the 20 th of July in eacn year , which were payable by the 6 th of April , and by another act , regulating the payment of the rates and taxes by Parliamentary electors ( 11 th and 12 th Victoria , chap . 90 ) , the
rates were to be paid by the same period , which were payable by the 5 th of January in each year . It seems that " Compound Householders" are required to make continual claim to be registered , and it is declared to be " often inconvenient or impracticable for such persons to make continual chums in respect to each rate , and many persons are consequently deprived of the franchise . " Therefore it is enacted , that persons having once claimed to be rated in respect of premises , and paying or tendering , on or before the 20 th of July , the rate due by tho 5 th of January preceding , shall not be required in future to renew such claim . The liability of a claimant to rates is to continue so long as he occupies the premises and remains on the register . A composition with a landlord is to determine the amount of rate to which trie tenant is liable .

The Country Edition cf the Leader is published on Friday , and the Town Edition on the Saturday , and Subscribers should be careful to sp « ciry which edition they -wish to receive . Complaints of irregularity r tiould be made to the particular news-agent supplying the paper , and If any difficulty should occur again it will be set right on application direct to our office , 10 , Wellington-street , Strand , London . It is impossible to acknowledge the mass of letters w « receive . Their insertion is often delayed , owing to a pre » 9 of matter ; and when omitted it is frequently from reasons quite independent of the merits of the communication . Communications should always be legibly written , and on one side of the paper only . If long , it increases the difficulty of finding space for them . All letters for the Editor should be addressed to 10 , Wellingtoncfi-oot . Rtranrl . London .

Saturday, July 5. Two More Defeats And V...
Saturday , July 5 . Two more defeats and very seveve castigation were inflicted on Ministers last night . The sitting opened with a skirmish between Sir Benjamin Hall and Lord John Russell , followed up by Mr . Hots man and Mr . Goulburn , and all about the " incomes" or " salaries" which , the bishops receive , or ought to receive , under the regime of the Ecclesiastical Commission . The incident was wholly unimportant except as a prelude to the final contest on the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill . The third
reading , as had previously been arranged , took plaee without a division . Lord John Husstll then made his final attempt to get rid of the Th-siger amendments . Permitting the preamble to retain the words which make the bill applicable to . all " briefs and rescripts , " and leaving the first ( Walpole'a ) clause untouched , Lord John Russell moved the omission of the words in the amended second clause , which make the publication of any bull , rescript , letter apostolical , or Papal document of any kind , constituting archbishops or bishops of pretended provinces , sees , or dioceses , penal , and subject the publisher to a tine of £ 100 .
The-whole dissuasion , as-far as the merits of the bill were concerned , was taken on this clause . The only novelty introduced way a denunciation of the "Anglo Italian Mission , " by Sir Fiiedeiiick Tiiesioeii . Alter reading the document ( which we notice els'where ) , ' he appealed to honourable members whether a L ' ew years ago , before we had ' deprived ourselves of the securities that existed by law , t ! i-s country could have been exposed to those repeated agmef-sions and insults ? ( Hear , / ear . ) But after we had disarmed attacks of ' ! ! '
ourselves we were constantly subjected to this description . ( Hear . ) " Obviously alluding to Catholic Emancipation . He was answered by Mr . Roebuck , who pertinently asked " whether there was anything more in the project than what was done every day , with ' immense applause , ' by ihe Society for the Diffusion of tbe Go-pel in Foreign P . irtsr " The Irish Brigade left the House before the division . The question put was , that the words proposed to be left out stand part of the-bill , vrhe . n on a division there were—< i ^ I n g „ f \ I 'JJ j tl
Ayes , 208 ; noes , 129 . Majority against Ministers , 79 . Mr . FxiBSuriEi-n attempted to move an amendment , providing the penalty of banishment for ofl'endeiH twice convicted under the net ; but he could not bt : heard amid the various noises proceeding from ; tll pints . A second division'was immediately taken , on the amendment which empowers any informer to bring an action under tho bill with the consent of the law officers of the Crown . Lord John Hussummoved ita omission from the bill . The House divided , when there were—For Lord John ' s motion , 124 ; againflt it , 17- > - Majority nufuiiiRt Ministers , 5 \ . -w n ., . " p i \ . tl rr W
The question was then pur , " That the bill do now pass ;* and , before the Irish members could crowd in , the House divided—For tho motion , 2 ( Y , ' j i K « iii & t it , ' {(' > . Majuiiiy , ' 217 . No sooner had tho bill finally passefl than the Jrlnh members rushed into the House , nnd'the question of the title Of tho bill ' niFording u legitimate ground for dpbate , Mr . Htiniay Ouatian nioved , in a speech of great qjurit , thatit , b « putitfetf " A Bill to Prevent ( , hy FrecJSxerqise of the Jtomnn Catholic , llvligiun in the United Kinudotu , r . » pi in Il f j , /¦ ..

In point of fact th » »« dBen pacing of tho bill having taken very wtany by worpt-fse , a grunt deal of aoitttvot ** was fcXprcmed an thft suffer .
