Love and Money . —In the Rolls Court on Monday the case of Ford v . the Earl of Chesterfield was heard ; the caste being really one in which the Earl of Chesterfield sought the payment , by Mr . Thomas Duncombe , of the sum of 69 , 000 / . A deed produced recited that a marriage contract had been entered into between Mr . Duncombe and Mrs . Slingsby , and that the Earl of Chesterfield , in consideration of Mrs . Slingsby covenanting to pay the interest on the 38 , 000 ? ., and also , in consideration of 420 / . paid down , agreed to extend the period for payment of the 38 , 000 ? . uutil the 5 th of June , 1841 , and that if payment of that sum were then made he would forego the whole of the debt . The 38 , 000 ? . was not paid at the time , nor was any interest paid , and , in consequence , the Earl of Chesterfield sued Mrs . Slingsby for the interest , and she has since paid 10 , 500 ? . on that account , but the marriage which was then contemplated
between her and Mr . Duncombe has not taken place . The case was now brought before the Court on summons from chambers , the question submitted being , whether the Earl of Chesterfield -was entitled to the whole of the 69 , 000 ? . or only to the 38 , 000 ? . and whether Mrs . Slingsby was entitled to be second encumbrancer , after payment oi the 38 , 000 ? . or the 69 , 000 ? . It was ruled that the Earl was entitled to the whole amount , Mrs . Slingsby becorriing second encumbrancer . Crystal Palack Company . —The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday , and the report was adopted with general expressions of confidence . 300 , 000 ? . is to b & borrowed , in addition to the 1 , 000 , 000 ? . capital raised ; and- this the directors expect -will complete the whole affair . An expectation was also stated , that the maintenance of th « building and the interest on loans will be covered bv
the receipts from season tickets , refreshments , and exhibition rents , and that the money from daily visitors will all be applicable to dividend ? . ,. > yith respect to the contemplated proposal for admitting shareholders on Sundays , it was announced that a legai opinion has been given of the possibility of its invalidating the charter , arid the point wa % , therefore , fur the present withdrawn . The teetotallers , headed "b y Mr . Gilpin , attempted to carry their point against the sale of " spirituous" matters ; hat they were in a miserable , though moral , minority ; The chairman patronisingly said of the oraerUness of the people , _ even when feeding : " That fact alone , was sufficient to . satisfy any reasonable person of the necessity of refreshments and non-liability of the working classes to drnnkenness when the eyes of respectable people \ vere upon them , and when they had extraordinary works of
art and nature to arrest their attention and induce inquiry . " " Convocation" met , in due course , on Thursday . The Daily News says : — " One of those ephemeral sittings which seem to delight its partisans as affording symptoms that it really has a definite existence . It was born in the morning , and -died before evening . The propositions of its members partook of that sort of daring which is known to fill the minds of people in the last stage of despair . " The Bishop pi London presented a report from | a committeej appointed to ^ consider and report to the upper house of Convocation , ¦ with a view to address her Majesty thereon , -whether anyj and if so , what reform ' s in the constitution of Convocation are expedient to enable it to treat with the full confidence of the Church of such matters as her Majesty may be pleased to submit to its deliberations . The Lower House attacked
the question of church-rates , but without much effect . The paper in which Dr . Wordsworth directed the attention of the . house to the , subject was ordered to be laid on the table . Archdeacon Allen made a bold flight . He thought it was the . duty of the State to deal with the temporalities of the Church , leaving the Church to deal with the spiritualities . Readers will remember the recent case of the two convipts who ; shut up with a policeman in a railway-carriage , shattered their handcuffd , fell upon the officer , one escaping * , by leaping from lho train ( afterwards caught ) , and the other liaving a deadly struggle with the brave policeman , happi \ y interrupted by the arrival of the train at a station . They liave been triod at York assizes this week for that and their preliminary offence , for which they were in custody , and sentence of death has been recorded against tlie more
ferocious ruman . lhe policeman ¦ will suffer during his lifetime from the injuries he received . A steam-boiler , at a calico-mill , Rochdale , exploded on Saturday morning last , and , by its effects , killed , wounded , or scalded , a grout number of the workpeople . The magistrates are finding that tho Betting Houses ' Act is a dead failure : —tho evil , under some other form , exists , and is beginning to force- itself on attention . At Murlborough-strcet a " literary sporting gentleman , " appears to bo " Joe Muggins ' s Doc , " hns summoned , and caused to bo fined 50 ? . a fellow keeping a coffeo-shop in Vnnton . strect , Hnymnrkct , and carrying on the betting iaainess ( fraudulently ) in an up-stair 3 room . In Ireland jurymen do not often , hold railway sharesand railway travelling is , therefore , safer : —At tho Wox-1 ' ord Assizes , on Monday , tho orphan children of Mr . and Mre . Maeswocnoy got 6 , 000 ? . damages against tho Grout Southern and Western Railway Company , on account of the ioaa ot tneir
miner nna mother , avIio were killed by tho tailwrty accident at Straffnn last nut ' iinm . The Roynl Agricnlmyal Socioty is holding its useful annual festival at Lincoln : — " Hero tho cause of agricultural im-PTovornont is tJurroundcd by troops of friondti , some holping in one wny , some in another , but all earnest , iictivo , nna oapablo . 1 ' ako , for example , tho landlords , mid where olso In England will bo found hotter oxatnplos of thu powerful influence which Mint clnsB enn exorcise than in tliit ) very county , tho heaths and wolds of whioU have been converted from barrenness to fertility mainly by tho liberality of tho YurboroujTh . family and of such men as Mr .

Eoman Catholic Poor Schools in London . Lord Edward Howard has appealed to the Roman Catholic community of England and Ireland to make educational provision for the poor children who will be withdrawn from the Middlesex Industrial Schools , in consequence of the bill recently passed by the House of Commons . The Dublin Telegraph saysr— "A more infamous law never stained the record of the English statutes , crowded as it is with penal enactments against the Catholics ; because none ever more unblushingly declared the determination of its promoters to kidnap the children of the Catholic poor , and to doom them to everlasting perdition . "
Ejection of a Reporter from a County Court . — Mr . Marshall , the Judge of the Wakefield County Court , has quarrelled with the local paper , the Express , and the other day turned the reporter of that jonrnal out of his court . — " This day ( Saturday last ) another court was held at Wakefield , also attended by the offending reporter , on which occasion the judge , after demanding the autnorship of the previous report , which the reporter declined giving , a second time ordered the latter to be turned vi et amis from the table , declaring he would not permit any one to sit there to make injurious reports on has judicial conduct . The reporter accordingly was dragged from his seat by the officers of the court . A few minutes afterwards another
reporter from the same paper entered , but had no sooner taken his place at the table than the judge ordered him also away . "—Lord Palmerston will , no doubt , have his attention called to the matter ; and Mr . Marshall must take care to avoid the fate of Mr . JBamshay , of Liverpool . Mb . Maurice Lbyne . —This gentleman , one of the most successful of Irish journalists , and who had recently started a paper with our title—the Tipperary Leader—died suddenly , some weeks ago , in the prime of his manhood , and his old colleagues , ill the Nation , have written an affectionate eulogium : —" Peace be with him ! He rests in noble soil . Words cannot describe the lavish sympathy and honour which the good people of Tipperary bestowed upon him and his . The Archbishop of Cashel , with forty of his priests , comprising the principal dignitaries of his diocese , paid to his remains the spontaneous and almost unprecedented honour of joining in a solemn office for the dead . They marched before his coffin to the grave , and were followed by the whole population of the town and Country for miles round .
God bless them for their great kindness to him who was carried a fettered rebel into their town a few years sincewhom they lately sought with one voice to bear the banner of freedom and truth in their glorious county—wTiom they buried on the very day that his and their Leader was to have appeared . Sudden and awful as this blow has fallen upon all his friends , there is one great alleviation at least , when we think of the generous and noble hearts among "whom he breathed his last . " Mr . Leyne was one of the many intellectual and ardent men whom Mr . Gavan Duffy had collected round his Nation ; and he had one quality peculiaT to himself and in a high degree- —humour , which , contrary to the general notion , is a rare quality among Irishmen . As a journalist he is a loss to journalism ; and the incident stated above indicates how the loss to the popular cause is regarded by the clergy and the people . He was a nephew of O'Connell ; hut had , nevertheless , deserted his family for the Young Ireland party .

The Religious War In Pimlico.—The Agitat...
The Religious War in Pimlico . —The agitation to force Mr . liiddell out of St . Barnabas seems to have commenced in earnest . A meeting was held on Tuesday to adopt- measures . " for the arrest of Romish practices iu the Church of England , " about 8 O 0 persons being present , Admiral Harcourt in the chair—41 Upon the arrival of the speakers on the platform a scene of great uproar immediately took place in the body of the meeting , and a general melee ensued between tho
representatives of the High Church and tho Low Church , which ended in tho latter party turning several of their opponents out of the meeting by force . Order having been procured , the chairman requested tho Reverend John Kelly to open the business with prayer , which tho reverend gentleman did nmid much confusion , and before the prayers -were concluded , an unpai'alleled scene of riot mid uproar again intervened , in which a regular fight eimu-d in tho body of tho meeting . A large number of police-constables at length arrived , and with their assistance the meeting iv : is cleared of several of tho High Church party , who woro roughly handled in tho iifl ' my .
Order having again been restored , tho expected speeches were got through . Mr . Nieholny ( vestryman of Marylebone ) abused the Biahop of London , everybody else abused tho Pope . Tlie resolutions were to tho effect that thoro should bo a general demonstration in different parts of the country in support of tho movemont , and a eomniiltec was appointed to collect subscriptions for tho currying out of such an object . Should redress not bo gained from the Bishop of London , it was proposed to bring the subject before tho Legislature . Tlie meeting broke up in uproar ; antl if scenes such as tlioso are to be stopped the Bishop of London will huvu to give way ; and the next Biahop of London will lmvo to decide—what is the Church of England ?

RUSSIAN POLES . In the House of Lords , the Earl of Habbincton , pursuant to notice , asked the Government whether they had instructed the Earl of Westmoreland to state at the court of Vienna that Polish subjects of Kussia would not be allowed to follow the standard of the allied army ? The Earl of Abeedeen could take upon himself to say that no such instructions had been given to Lord Westmoreland as the noble lord imagined . The Earl of Hakkinoton said that he had been led to believe that an attempt to for m a Polish legion in Russian Poland had been frustrated by her Majesty's Government . MESSAGE FROM THE CROWN . The Earl of Aberdeen brought in the following message from the Crown , which was read by the Lord Chancellor : — " Victoria Regina . —Her Majesty deeming it expedient to provide for any additional expense which may arise in consequence of the war in which her Majesty is engaged against the Emperor of Russia , relies on the affection of the House of Lords for their concurrence in such measures as may he necessary for making provision accordingly . " The Earl of Aberdeen . ^ —I beg to move that her Majesty's gracious message be taken into consideration on Monday next . —Agreed to . The House adjourned at half-past six .

The House of Commons , notwithstanding their having adjourned at three o'clock on Friday morning , met again at one o'clock in the afternoon ; but only sat a quarter of an hour , and passed several bills a stage . THE CREDIT FOR THE WAR . The sitting" was resumed at six o ' clock * when The Chancellor of the Exchequer appeared at the bar , and announced a message from her Majesty . The Message having been brought up , was read at the table as follows : — 11 Victoria Kegina—Her Majesty deeming it expedient to provide for any additional expenses that may arise in consequence of the war in 'which , her Majesty is engaged with the Emperor of Russia , aiid relying on the loyalty , zeal , and affection of her faithful Commons , thinks that they will make provisioa accordingly . " . The Chancellor of the Exchequer—Sir , I beg to move that her Majesty ' s most gracious Message be referred to a Committee of Supply . The Cotnmittee of Supply stands for to-night , but I apprehend it is generally understood that it will not come on before Monday , and that her Majesty ' s Message will then be considered . * Mr . DisnA . Ej ., 1—I am sure I may say that the hoii . member may confidently rely that the House of Commons have every disposition to furnish whatever aid her Majesty may require , for the purpose of carrying on the war with efficiency and vigour ; but a trust that on Monday her Majesty ' s Ministers will be able to assure the House that in the present state of affairs there will be an autumnal sitting , and that her Majesty will be recommended graciously to call Parliament together before the end of the year . BBIBERY BILL . There were no questions of importance addressed to Ministers , and the first order of the day , " The consideration of the Amendments on the Bribery Bill , " was called on , and a clause proposed to be added was moved ; when a discussion , ensued as to the advisability of recommitting the bill-which was so strongly pressed on all sides of tho House that Lord John Kusscll consented , and the bill was recommitted , Several now clauses wore added—the discussion through tho night being of that nature which it is not worth 3 puce to report .
