    Record Of The Week. Home And Coloxial. T...

    whiU Mr . Gt . P . Tuxford , with a decidedly liberal " platform , " had eorne forward to fill tlie placo left vacant by the lato . Mi-. Ing rani at [ Boston . At Reading the contest is between Mr . Walter and Mr . Serjeant Piggotr . ' . The Queen arrived at Gravesend on Wednesday lash In the case of the appeal to the Norwich Petty Sessions from ( he decision of the magistrates on behalf of the persons who , at the mstance of the Rev . Mr . Neale , had been fined for singing a hymn over a grave , the conviction has been quashed by consent of tho prosecutors , who did not venture to press the point . In the obituary of distinguished public men for the past week we have to record the death of Sir Harry Smith , whose severe illness terminated fatally on the 12 th instant . Milner Lockev , on being committed for trial on the charge of murdering Thomas Ifnrrison , made a confession of his guilt , urging that he did it in a fit of insanity , that is , of jealousy .

    The Proprietors of the Alhawibra , Iieieester-squnrc , and Cremornegardens , respectively , liave obtained a renewal of their licenses for those places of public amusement . , The office left vacant by the denth . of Sir James Wilson finds an occupant in . Mr . S . Imng , . the Financial Secretary of the Treasury . Mr . Wilsoii ' s plan of finance was to be carried into effect . The arrangement between France « i ' nd England , that , the former should obtain coolies from Calcutta , had been much criticised and found fault with . ' ¦ " ¦; - ' ' . ' ¦ . ¦ ' - . At the . AVilts Quarter Session ? , during the . current week , theJRoid Murder formed a subject of discussion ; but no further light has been thrown on the subject . " .

    The most prominent item connected with ' -the criminal record as this week opened , was a stiggestiou fch ;» fc the deed might have been perpetrated by a stranger concealed in the hou ? e , and that Mr . Kent had inade enemies in . hi 3 oflicial cliaracter . Wha-t , if soirio one owing liim a grudge thought to ' . accomplish , the double revenge of murdering Iris child , and causing him or some of his household to be fixed with and punished . for the , crime ? From Australia wclearn that the

    Frorn the United States wo-learn . that the President was . busily engaged on the construction of his message , a very-different . .. sort of exposition frona onr royal speeches , which , from the time when Cobbett so mercilessly demolished , the productions of Pitt , to tlxe present day , when the Times is equally severe on those of Pahnerston , have been proverbial for emptiness of information and repletion of bad grammar . The republican party , through the agency of its active exponent , Mr . Soward , was busy in the northwestern portion of the Union , where demonstrations were being mado in favour of Mr . Lincoln , as candidato for the presidency . According to Mr . Sew : ard , Minnesota is one day to b-j the seat * of empire in the Western world ; Kansas he Jins extolled to the skies for its chainpionship of the anti-slavery cause . I ' rbm divisions in tho other eavnp , Mr . Lincoln ' s success had been confidently augured by his friends . '

    Tho Prince of Wales had boon woll recoivod at Cincinnati , Pitsburg , and . St . Louis . At Washington tho Prinoo visited the tomb of that g reat ) man who has given its name to the city . Wo see by tho Engineer , that tho Oriental Inland Steam Company liavo introduced a Marine Locomotive Train , for traversing shallow rivers and inlets . Tho train consists of a steamer and five barges , ol tho collective length of 000 feet . But these barges , instead of being towed asunder , l'ko common barges , are joined to ono another by circular joints like a hinge , so that they constitute ono long flexible vessel , with only ono bow and . one stern . Tho purposo of this arrangement is to obtain tho nocessary displacement vvith jnnnll resistance , and ¦ wi thout tho risk of damage , should tho vessel run aground . Tho train is 30 feet bi'ond and tibou-t 7 feet tlcop . At a draught of water of 3 feet it will carry about 8 , 000 tons of cargo . Such a vessel is greatly needed nt tho present moment to enrvy up railway materials in , Imlin , ond to bring down cotton , flax , and other articles of agricultural produce .

    As an illustration-of that novol species of light or rnlhoi * heavy litoraturo , which wo mny call tologwmio fiofcion , wo bog tocito tho announcement that M . Louis Dlano J » ad boon forbidden to opon national ¦ workshops ) in Naples ! M . Blano writoa to tho press ns follows : — "I liavo boon in Italy , and I have just returnod from Scotland . I am , therefore , ' perfectly amnsod at rendinc in a telegram , published by yesterday ' s newspapers , that tho Pro-Dictator Pullavioi'ui hus " for-Ijiddon me to open national ¦ workshops . " This fable is , I am ufraid , ¦ worse thai ; ridiculous . It hua probably beon act ollout for tho

    purposo of working oroduloua people into a belief that Nuples is at present ii nest for cosmopolitan schemer ? . At nil events it is onloulatod tojjrovivo tho systematic oulumny which has futhorod upon mo thoao " national ¦ workshops" of 1843 , which , far from being established by me , wore established nguinet mo , that is , in utter opposition to my principles , with a view to oountorbnlunoo my influence , andwero , nooording to M . Lwmavtino ' s publio conH-s ^ ion , ' tho device ' s of my advormiriop . " Tlui Italian Pro-Dictator mini ; bo well enough acquainted vvith ootitomporary history to know thin . Consequently , ovon in tho event of my linving repaired to Naples—which is notthoonso—ho would have boon undor no naoosaily of forbidding M . Louis BUno to opon national workshops . "

    Tho long-oxpcotocl soiillor ' a match botwoqu John Muokiunny , of Itiohmond , und Joseph Wise , of Kovv , was rowod this \ vcol < ( Tuesday ) , ond terminiitpcl in favour of tho formoi , who , after u , sovoi-o contest , won by several lengths . Tho Kai'l of Dorby ia griuUuUly I'OuovuM'liig ft'om his aevore ulUek of

    gout . His recovery has been retarded by the state of the weather , but there are not the slightest grounds for the sinister rumours which have been in circulation ; his family and friends , looking forward confidentl y to the speedy ro-cstablish'ment of his health . Viscount .-: Paimcrotori -Icnvca Broadlands this ( Saturday ) niorhing , fo ,. town , in order to be present at the Cabinet Council appoiiited to beheld ' this afternoon . ¦ -... ' -. . Home news is so scarce , and nt such a premium , ( lint what littlp there is , is warmed up , and subdivided , and presented in a niultitiide . of diU ' eront versions , so that wo are obliged to- exorcise , a'decided eclecticisnti , that we may not foist upon our readers , ad nauseam , tho tedioiisnbss of a thrice-told talc . Sjjasoxixg Food iron Cattle . —With regard to the growing necessity of progress in cattle cookery , including the use of Thorley's Condiment ., that is attested by all .-practienl men . "VVliat would any company of ladies or gentlemen think of the cook who would serve them with unseasoned food , and naught to season if with ? And why should it be otherwise among our . domesticated animals ? FQltEIGX . In this historical narrative it is imjjossible to disunite comment with fact . The great principle of non-intervention is gradually forcing itself upon the acceptance and-. r-eeog . nition of diplomatists in qunrlers whore if , was least to be expected . ' AVc find Mr . l 3 onifac-e , in that sort of oflif . ialintimation ' . which in diplomatic slang is called " semi-pilicial , " througli the columns of the Conxlifutioiuicl , c-alls this principle the " eohsoaration " of the " autonomieal intlependeiu-e of nations . * - ' Will it be bi'lievetl that tho principle , that nations have . the right to choose , and to cashier their chief jniblic servants as they see fit , the priiiciple that Dr . Price was so . ' bullied and abused by that brilliant if somewhat verbose turncoat Edmund Burke for maintaining froni the pulnif , r ^ -is . ' . actually . plagiarised and formally announced with great ostentation , and under a now-coined term , by a French Government scribe in an exposition of French governmental views under the Second Empire ? Tho principle of the autonomieal independence of nations ,, he tells us , admits any dynastic changes which are brought about by interior l ^ cvolutions . The principle of non-intervention , he adds , " is a consecration of this right . " This is . all right enough , and so it is hardly worth inquiring how far the title of the present ruler of Franco , requires to be indirectly justified by a " side wind " sort of argnment . It was however for tho express -. purpose of extinguishing this sacred / . principle- that England went to war with France , and added 000 , 000 , 000 ^ . to our national debt . It was . for tliis sacred principle tltat the first revolution was made . And now , strange vicissitude ! this principle is asserted as the foundation , of-Louis ZN apoleon ' s throne . TJiere ig no doubt that the French Emperor is a great practical protest against the principle of divine right , ami its spurious counterfeit offspring , legitimacy . But let us understand things properly . This " autbnomica ! independence of nations" is nothing else than Dr . Price ' s " right of the people to choose and cashier their chief public servants . " J 3 ut the French Government scribe will not allow that a people may call in another people- to help them in making their revolution . As diplomatists , liko lawyers , rely a great deal unon precedents , it moy bo as well to recall here the invitation of the Dutch army , not by the people ofthis epuntry , it is true , butby the aristocraey , brat least a section of them , to help in carrying out our" glorious " revolution of 1 GSS . 13 ut precedent apart , if a poople , ns is admitted by Mr . Boniface , liavo a rig lit , ns no reasonable man denies , to arrange tlioir own nflaira as they please , they have tho inclusive , right of inviting another peoplo to co-pperato with them in carrying out the nrrangy mont they havo determined upon . If therefore Sardinia is acting in accordance with tho wishos of I ho . peoplo upon whoso territory it hns entorod , tho French protests througli M . Bonifaoo or any other " mediuiix" are good for nothing . Having cleared thut part of tho question wo now como to tho acts of Surdinia , who lias put . tho point to be submitted to the peoplo for settlement by universal suurngo into the question , whothor they will havo Italy indivisibly united under Victor EinmnniiolnsConstitutiohalKing and his / tf // M ; H «/< ( and under ( . lie very torm of lu / jillmnci / , which is employod in llio quoetion put ) , most ridiculously uud uiibliibiiiugly- assertod .
