A Scene in the British House of Lords.
In the deflate on the Canada Clergy Reserves bill, in
the House of laird* about a fortnight since, some ex
planation took place between T he Bishop of Ox hard and
the Earl of Derby, in the course of which the following
scene occurred :
The Bishop of Oxford stated that, wch their Inrd
ships’ permission for a moment, he would explain the
alia ion the noble earl had mn !e. The noble earl mu c t
have s**en that he the Bishop of Oxford made the allu
sion with a smile in a plavful war, and with no inten
ti >n to do what was offensive. Thinking the noble earl
might he d-seated on the direct qu •stiooou Friday, in !
thinking that he might earrv his opposition by* the
intendment, he (the Bishop of Oxford said tba* the no-
W> earl did it by the amendment. He did not think
that unparliamentary. At the same time, lie nmc r*•
mind the noble earl that to speak of the promoters . f
this h:!l a- advocating a shuffling and shifting nolicv
v is calcttlated to piv.ve offensive to th mi, as he believed
it had proved to his noble friends near him. [Cheers 1
The ••arl of Derbv: Mv lords, I accept at once the ex

An 111-Fated Kailroad Car.
The history of one of the passenger cars which was
wrecked ai Norwalk, and so many of its inmates killed,
is indeed curious, it was built aboat a year since, and
used for the first time to convey Governor Seymour and
suite from Hartford to New Haven, oti the occasion of
fan* inauguration as Governor of Connecticut. On Uie
day following it was seat back locked and empty, attach
'd Ito one ot the regular trains. From some cause, never
ye; explained, it Hew off the track, went down a steep 1
•embankment, and was badly shattered. It was subse- j
quently repaired, and in .September or October last form
ed a part of the express train from this city, which was I
* i badly wrecked at Winsor Locks, Conn. On thisoc- j
casion it was the last car, and went off the bridge into j
the water and sunk. .Several of the passenger* were
killed, and all more or less injured. At Norwalk it was
the second passenger car that went off the draw, the sad
effects of which uwfa! Imp are too well known to require
repetition. Its owner s had bet ter give it its freedom,
j-or it has done mischief enough.

Sr.vTt tEXT or Artur Spring.—The Philadelidiia
LeJirr, coutains an account of another long i*u.“rview
with Ar;hur Spring, the condemned murderer, iu
winch he not only protests his own entire innocence, i
and asseverates the guilt of his son of the murder ot I
the two females, but declares that his son is guilty of !
ail the crimes with which he himself has been charged.
The Ledger says:
“The result of our interview with Spring has cer
tainly t-manned the former impression, that he is a
most remarkable man He w ill talk by the hour, with
out betraying the slightest symptom indicative of re
morse, and it would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer to
trap bun into auy contradictory statement- by the most
rigid cross-examination According to his own ac
counts, be is the most unfortunate man alive, having
been invariably a victim, and made to suffer for tile
guilty of others. He tells his story with an air of
sincerity and truth, almost ineltiiig so tears iu speaking
of the fate of the two murdered wotueu, and expressing
an apparently heartfelt sympathy in the bereavement
ot .Mr. Lynch, and the infants left motherless, by the
foul crime of which he stands cou vie ted.”

fashion But the ingeniou.: itti*i learned author of

it mn-t iiave closely rcs*tnbled the dance wh'cli \v*•
f.ndly boast of as one of the great iuventio.is of th*
i.i eteenih ce irury It runs a- follows:
i “ Yet is there one, the most deligh ful kind,
\ lofty jumping, or a h-aping round.
Where unit and arm the dancers are entwined.
And whirl themselves with strict mbrn e neuts hound.
Ands i; t teir fee an anapmt do sutmtl;
An anapaest is all their music song,
Whose first two feet ate slior; an i third is long ”
Tlie “anapaest” is conclusive ; it points exactly to the
peculiar nature of the tiolka. the pause on the third step.
Moreover, it appears tlj.it there is no especial figure fit
the polka; -o there was none for the lavolta; for it i
classcd among t io.-e dances:
“ Wherein that dancer greatest praise h is won,
Which, with b“-t order, can all orders shun ;
For every where he wantonly must range,
And turn and wind with unexpected change.”
Who can doubt after that ?
A Smart April Foot- —Among the many attempts to

bv all who knew and dealt with him. Asa man, he
was amiable, as a butter, upright, and his price* mode

hats were only f 1 fs. each. He has left a widow to de

Mrs. Howaru.—The name of Mrs. Howard has of

a member of the family, who gives to the whole story
an unqualified contradiction. He assures that paper
that the .Mrs. Howard recently discarded bv Louts Na

merchant, and forme: !v an actress. The Mrs. Howard
with whom it i- alleged public rumor has confounded
her. we are informed ha* been dead four ears ; that -he

formed by carter’s Spanish mixti re.
The great Spring Medicine and Purifier of the Blood
is now used by hundred* of grateful patients, who tes
tily daily to ihe remarkable cures performed by the
greatest of all medicines, Carter's Spanish Mixture.—
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Scrofula, Eruptions on tlie
Skin. Liver Disease, Fevers, Ulcer*, Old Sores, Affec
tions of the Kidneys, Disease of the Throat, Female
Complaints, Pains and Aching of the Bones and Joints,
are speedily put to flight by using this great and inesti
; mable remedy.
For all diseases of the Blood, nothing has yet been
found to compare with it. It cleanses the system of all
impurities, acts gently and efficiently on the Liver and
Kidneys, strengthens the Digestion, gives tone to Ihe I
Stomach, makes the Skin clear and healthy, and restores t
the Constitution, enfeebled by disease or broken down ‘
by the excesses of youth, to its pristine vigor and
strength.
For the Ladies, it is incomparably better than all ihe !
cosme ic* ever used. A few doses of Car er’s Spanish ;
| Mixtu e will remove all sallownes* of complexion, bring
i the roses mantling to the cheek, give elasticity to Ihe !
; step, and improve the general health in a remarkable j
degree, beyond all the medicines ever heard of.
A large number of certificates of remarkable cures j
performed on persons residing in the city of Richmond, ]
Va., by the use of Carter’s Spanish Mixture, i- ilie best

PRESENTMENTS OF THE GRAND JURY OF UPSON
COUNTY.
riyllE First Panel of the Grand Jury for May Term
I. 1853, respectfully beg leave to make the following
presentments:
1. That we have, through committees, examined the
, books of thcClerksof the Superior and Inferior Courts,
and Ordinary, and find them neatly and correctly kept,
; which condition reflects great credit upon those officers.
: We find upon the fine book, a considerable number of
; fines unsettled, and would tesnectfully recommend the
! proper authorities to examine into the same.
2. We have, in like manner, examined the report of
the Poor School Commissioner, and find that said officer
has discharged the onerous duties devolving upon him,
faithfully. He has received from the Stale, for Poor
School purposes, the sum of $233,<H); from the county,
$1,042,21 From this, deduct for commission, $50,32;
amount paid to Teachers, $758,1i>; and we have a ;
] balance of $486,72. We also find from his report, the
I names of 4"1 children, between the ages of eight and
sixteen years, entitled to the benefit of the Poor School
Funds, were returned by the persons appointed in the
several Militia Districts for that purpose*, 100 of whom
received instructions during the year; some of them,
however, for a very short period. We much regret to
learn, that some of those persons appointed to return
ihe children entitled to the benefit of the Poor School
Fund, have signally failed to discharge this impor
tant duty; as upon the presentation of the accounts of
the Teachers, the names of 55 children were necessarily
stricken off, as their names did not appear on the re
turns,) who ha been taught, and no doubt, were en
titled to the benefit of the public funds, to the great
injury of some of said teachers. We recommend the
Interior Court to assess 25 per cent, (or Poor School
; purposes.
We have, in like manner, examined tlie books and
accounts of the County Treasurer, and find he has re
ceived into his hands the sum of *2,7!'2.fi .), as county
tax; SBO,OO as line money; 559,00 for verdicts and
confessions; £75,00 for pedlers’ license; to which, add
cash previously in liana, £4,342,-53. Wc hlso find he
has paid out the sum of sum of £7/'3">,7G, tiir which he
| has proper vouchers, leaving a balance of £263.37, !
jfrotn which should be taken the sum of *295,00, which
the Inferior Court has set apart as pauper funds, thus ;
I showing a deficit of *31.63. His books and accounts
!arc neatly and correctly kept.
4. Upon examination of the Tax Collector’s books,
we find that he has received £4,500,81 as State tax ;
£4, 2rt<,7i as county tax; all of which he has paid to the
proper authorities, except £80,u.5, which he has in his
hands. While upon this subject, we would remark,
thore is a discrepancy in the books returned by the .
Receiver to the Collector, and the one placed in the :
hands of the Clerk, < f *222,91, and would recommend I
to the Inferior Court to have this balance placed to his
credit, when he shall have paid the •?h0,0, ) in his hands.
We allow him for his insolvent list the sum of *102,2*.
Upon examination of the County Jail, we find it en
tirely unsafe, and unfit for use, and recommend the
i Inferior Court to have anew one built,
i 5. We report the bridge on Tobler's Creek, on the I
| road leading from Thomaston to Forsyth, as being un
safe, and recommend that u new one be built. We also
• find the roads in the 47" th district in bad order, and
i recommend the Commissioners to have them worked.
0. We would eall the attention of the Inferior Court
to the facts, that the Writ Records, I) and E, of the
Superior Court, have been lost or destroyed, and have
never been in the hands of the present Clerk; and
recommend that they take such steps to have them re
placed as they may think best.
In taking leave of his Honor, Judge Stark, we tender
him our cordial approbation for the able, dignified and
courteous manner in which lie lias discharged his office
during the present term.
I We beg leave, also, to tender to Sol. Gen. Thrasher,
jour acknowledgments for his kind attention to our
body during the present term ; also, to Mr. James Par
iridge ,bcilrff), for the kind manner iu which he has
discharged the duties assigned him.
