I'O .<;. The Ranelagh Case Has Grown To ...
Commissioners of the Treasury . The Alderman who was trying the case , Alderman Moon , very properly hesitated to restrain the personal liberty even of a St . Alban ' s elector upon such insufficient warrant . Clarke , the officer who apprehended the two patriots , informed the Alderman that he had applied in succession at the Home Secretary ' s office , at the Speaker ' s office , to the Solicitor of the Treasury , and to the Inspector stationed at the House of Commons . From none of these sources could he derive any information which might at all warrant the detention of the prisoners , and they were discharged .

Miscellaneous. At Wellow, Notts, The Opp...
MISCELLANEOUS . At Wellow , Notts , the opposition to the game-laws has assumed a new form . A " . Rural Sporting Club has been established , the secretary of which , is a tenantfarmer . The funds are designed to support the ^ famihes of its members who ( from distress ) may be induced to resort to poaching and be fined . The residue is to be applied to obtain game certificates . The Committee of the Polish-Hungarian Refugees held a special meeting on August 6 , for the purpose of considering the best means to obtain the release of Kossuth . After a lengthy discussion , the following resolutions were agreed to : — " 1 . That arequsition be presented to the chief constable of the borough of Rochdale , requesting him to call a public meeting to memorialize Lord Palmerston , for the release of Kossuth , late Governor of Hungary . 2 . That we , the Rochdale Committee , do recommend to the country to get up public meetings in all parts , so as to cause a simultaneous movement throughout the country ; as we feel convinced that , if something is not done , Kossuth will still be held in bondage . "
The Patrons of Native Industry at North Shields honoured themselves or Mr . George Frederick Young , M . P ., —we will not attempt to determine the knotty point , — by giving a dinner to that gentleman on Friday week . The proceedings were of the usual colour and character . Mr . G . F . Young did not declare himself a convert to Free-trade ; and Mr . Bell , M . P .. warmly congratulated the meeting on the union at present existing in the camp of Protection . Mr . Young , moreover , exclaimed , in his stock speech , —no doubt he was excited by the " loud
cheering , "— " Let Humanity have its swing , and let cheapness go to the dogs ! " Mr . Alderman Bartleman said , in proposing " The health of the Duke of Northumberland , " that it was not necessary to " go back to feudal times to bring before them the high claims and acknowledged merits of the Percies . " The Honourable Mr . Liddeil , in proposing " The memory of Lord George Bentinck , " fitly elaborated the story of the" inconsistency *' of Peel . There was no novelty in the dinner . Mr . Young , it is well known , never makes but one speech , and that is too dull for anybody but a Protectionest to listen to .
Mrs. Swisshclm, An American Editress Has...
Mrs . Swisshclm , an American Editress has the following piquant sentences on marriage : — " Many are of opinion , that if it were not for the stringency of the civil law , nearly all families would be broken up , and society go into chaos . We have no such notion . If a proclamation were made to day , declaring every marriage in the Uniun null and void , and leaving it once more to the choice of the parties whether the relation be renewed , business would be suspended , newspapers would stop , stores , factories and workshops would close . The editors
would be all at home getting married ; merchants , operatives and mechanics would each be waiting their turn to have the nuptial knot retied . Cross , fretful , sickly wives , that hail been almost felt a burden before , would grow very dear at the thought of separation . Domineering , harsh husbands would be forgiven ; and in all places where a spark of conjugal love remained , it would be blown to a ihunc ; where nothing but dead embers and the utihes remained , they could be taken up and made into mmp , and mic ' iety cleansed therewith . "
The I ' reuse has the following account of an alleged new experiment of what is called " telegraphic cacur ^ oliquc " - —that is , communication , at u distance by meann of snails : — "On Sunday , August 15 , we went to 80 , Hue d'AKiiiort'fi , nt the lJalignolles , to the house of M . Droux , ex-mayor of the commune , where it was announced an expei inic . iit was to be made . A umall number of persons were invited , and nnioiig them were M . Victor Hugo and M . . Kiuile ( jirardin . The master of the house led us to a sort of barn , where we found at . each end two structures in wood placed in open . stands . In the lront of each wan a largo wooden wheel , moving on its centre ; this wheel , about two yards in diameter , presented the most singular appearance ; . ' !()() or ' 100 . snails were kept immovable , by
meant * of a sort of paste , in a reservoir in zinc ; the open part of the shell was towards the spectator , and ( some of them protruded their heads . On the wheels were lines of metal , on one of which were the snails , and on the other letters of the alphabet . The reservoirs in zinc , in which the snails were placed , were lined with cloth and copper , like the voltaic pile , and all the roservoirn were connected by conducting wires , which wore ? collected on the axis of tin : wheel . One apparatim was to serve to Bend a despatch , the other to receive it ; we will , to make the demonstrations clearer , call one ' l ' aris / and the other ' London . ' In turning tin ; wheel the letter
required w . iH brought to an opening , and designated by a needle . Much time that J'arin sent up a letter to the opening , and designated it by tin ; needle , M . Uenoist , in the Htrucliiie called London , wrote ; it with a pencil on paper , aficr having discovered it on his own wheel , by , as he said , moving a Miiail in its ichci voir on tint letters , which Hiiail made it movement on panning by the letter indicated . This in the mystery , and we know no more of it than you do . We wrote in the box respecting INuis the word fiijer , nnd it wan perfectly reproduced at London . Another person wished to send I ho word / ellua ; but . either from want of practice , or irregularity of the machine , M . Jienoiot received the letter ** GTZZLJ . Wo
ourselves recommenced , with M . Victor Hugo by the side of us , in the inclosure Paris , and we sent B . kiNUJ . fc > l , which was perfectly reproduced in London . ^ - nen ^ ^ sent the word Deus , with the mark M between the U and S , and it was perfectly received and reproduced . Such is what we saw ; an apparatus of wood , copper , zinc , and snails , sent to asimila r apparatus , at a distance of 15 yards , three words . But . was it really the snails which acted ? Was it simply the pile formed by the juxtaposition of the copper and zinc ? Could the same effect be produced in the same manner , at long distances ? These and other questions can only be solved by experience . " . The yard of one of the largest ship-builders in France , M . Perrey of Havre , was in flames on the 12 th for several hours . A magnificent steamer and a fine schooner yacht were burnt on the stocks ; and property altogether worth £ 400 , 000 consumed . M . Perrey was only partially insured .
Two Boys Nutting In Hornsey-Wood On Sund...
Two boys nutting in Hornsey-wood on Sunday , found a man about thirty years of age , hanging to a tree , dressed in black coat , light vest , and Tweed trousers . His shirt was fastened with silver studs , marked R . L . A ., and some documents were found on him , inscribed John H . Nelson . Joseph Jilkes and Joseph Lovegrove , labourers , in the employ of the Commissioners of Sewers , Hatton-garden , were ordered , on Monday , to remove some boards , in order to turn the water into another direction , in a man hole , situate in Maiden-lane , Battle-bridge . As they were about to enter with their safety lamps , the gas is supposed to have escaped from the pipes passing through the sewer , and a dreadful explosion took place , by which the unfortunate men were seriously injured . Lovegrove is doing well , but Jilkes lies in a very precarious state .
A woman named Mary Neill , died , to all appearance , in the workhouse , atTipperary , and after a lapse of about 20 hours was buried in a churchyard , about 4 miles from the town . On the following day a man passing near the grave heard the cries of a female as coming out of the earth , and instantly gave an alarm , he himself being very much frightened . A crowd was soon collected , and the grave having been opened , the unhappy creature was found in her coffin lying turned on her side , the shrouding torn in pieces , the cap she wore removed from her head , and her face and body lacerated by the coffin nails from her exertions , but she was then quite dead . Her previous apparent death was quite sudden , and it is supposed she must have sunk into a trance , although it lasted so many hours .
The Royal Irish Agricultural Society's S...
The Royal Irish Agricultural Society ' s show began on Wednesday . It is reported as being surprisingly good . The accounts of the potato crop in Ireland are less cheering , but on the whole they scarcely justify the very gloomy anticipations regarding the crop which are entertained by many persons . Air . Iiincaid , the extensive land agent , describes the stalks , and in some instances the tubers , diseased . He says , however , that in a great many cases , where the stalks have been quite gone , the tubers are in a healthy state .

To Headebs And Correspondents. Several L...
TO HEADEBS AND CORRESPONDENTS . Several letters have been received by our publisher compUini ,,,-of the non-receipt of papers , or the non-arrival of the Leader until Monday . We have made inquiry , and find that the errors ' have not arisen in our office . The Country Edition of the Leader is published on Friday , and the Town Edition on the Saturday , and Subscribers should be careful to speoify which ¦ edition they wish to receive . Complaints of " irregularity should 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 , 8 trand London . In reply to inquiries we may state that the Office of the Friends of Italy is No . 10 , 8 outhampton-street , Strand . It is impossible to acknowledge the mass of letters we receive Their insertion is often delayed , owing to a press 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 , Wellingtonstreet , Strand , London .

The Business Done At The Lords Amounted ...
The business done at the Lords amounted only to what was obviously formal , except that Lord Shaftesbury , in the absence of the Earl of Harrowby , moved an address to the Crown , praying that our Ministers and Consuls abroad be instructed to report on Protestant chapel and burial accommodation , and the state of the law with respect to the exercise of the Protestant religion in the countries where they are located . The motion was agreed to . In the Commons , various matters were gone through with . Mr . Wakley renewed the attempt to obtain an order to print the evidence taken before the Income-tax Committee , | and made a motion to that effect , which was rejected on a division by 62 to 52 .
Yesterday the session was wound up with the customary formality and splendour of a state prorogation . The Queen's Speech will be found elsewhere . There was nothing to distinguish this ceremony from its hundred predecessors , except the appearance of the Commons " four deep , on the flats . " For the rest it was splendid and dignified .
After this , the drawing of the names for precedence in attending the House of Peers was proceeded with , much laughter being excited by cries of ' Dead " when Captain Scobell ' s name was drawn , that gentleman having previously complained that his name was placed in the obituary of the Navy List . The first name drawn was that of Lord Dudley Stuart , then Sir A . Brooke , and Captain Scobell . At the suggestion of Mr . Wakley the House permitted Lord John ltussell and Lord Palmerston to take precedence by courtesy .
Sir lioBEitT Inches inquired whether , if a Protestant Church was erected in Rome , it would receive consular protection ; also , whether an application for Protestant burial ground at Madrid had been complied with , under certain objectionable conditions , and whether the correspondence respecting Captain Pakenham and Mr . Ilealey , Protestants exiled from Florence and Homo respectively , would be laid on the tuble .
Lord Pai . mbkston replied , that the correspondence was now in progress , and therefore could not be produced ; that with respect to erecting a church at Rome , the British residents had had a chapel there for some time ; " and if they applied to be allowed to place themselves under the provisions of the Consular Act , lie was not aware of any reason why their application should be refused . " As to the Protestant burial-ground at Madrid , that had been undoubtedly granted , accompanied by conditionH which her Majesty ' s Government had learned with pa " and regret . He laid on the table the corresp ondence on the last subject .
" Black Jtod nhortly afterwards made lna appearance ; the Speaker sturted off for tho Lords at tho head of the column in " ranks of four ; " Lord John . RuHNcll and Lord Palmerston leading . They returned in about u quarter of an hour , und the Speaker having Hhukeu hands with tho members , the IIou « e broke up for tin ; holidays . Parliament Btundfj prorogued until tho 4 th of September .
