The 411 M here Mahal as due to the treasurer on the transaction of the year exceeds the loss which has hen incurred on the business of the institution during that peri.nl. The progress of the evening school during the last year had been very satisfactory. The institution had been visited inn August last by Mr. l'oynter, inspector of the Govenlon nut Schools of Design, who reported to the Hisinl of Trude on the state of the several drawing 1 . 113 1 41. , which induced the Board of Trade to preseut to the institution a collection of 96 east' of ornamental sculptures, and a number of Issilei of exampk, in figure ornament, ite.

Fon rue INDIGENT BLlND.—Yesterdny, the annual general meeting of the governors and friends of this institution was held at the London Coffee-house, Lutlgate-hill—•Lord lhatlstock in the chair. It appeared from the report which was presented to the meeting that during the post year the pupils of the institution had manufactured goothi to the value of 1,2031., of which sum 962 I. had been derived from the sale of the goods, and the remainder had been consumed in the house. The donations and subscriptions fur the year amounted to 1,909/., the dividends or stock to ..2hs/.. and the legacies to 2,7111.; the total receipts being 8,29 a. The oohs nary expanse* hail amounted to 7,9091., and the extraordinary expyntliture on new buildings and repairs to 521/. The number of pupil. in the house was 150, and their general health was very satisfactory. The committee were happy to announce that arrangements had been made by • which mow. remarkable moivimetrt of the manufactures of the pupils who sees entirely blind would be displayed at the iltryat National Exhibition in Ilydepark. The various officers for the ensuing year having been appointed, some routine business was gone through, and the meeting sepa rated. THE EXPORTATION TO JERSET OF LARGE QUAN• entre or Sru tit Piton inn SUOSU REVINEUE is TiiE BOETHANIrTon Doves. and their immediate importation into Southampton again for consumption in this country, has (says a correspondent) received the serious attention of the government to the singular and anomalous state of the law relative to sugar duties and refineries. There arc two dames of sugar ntineries in this country, which, for con• eemienee of reference, we will call No. 1 and No. 2. No. 1 are refiners of duty paid sugar for the home market. They are not supervised by the revenue officers, and until the recent reduction in the duty on foreign raw sugars, and the repeal of the navigation laws, they only refined coloviLd sugar; since that reduction and repeal they have refined lonic' sugar in consequence of the reduction in its price. No. 2, are refiners of sugar in bonded ware houses, the duty on which has not been paid, and which can only be used for ships stores, and the foreign market. Under misting laws they. cannot pay duty on sugar from these refineries so as to bring it into the home market. They are entirely under the supervision of the customs, and no part of the process of refining can be performed. either I.y night or day. except iu the presence of a revenue officer. Since the duty on foreign refined sugar ha. he. n radared to 2'2s. Fa. per cwt., and on foreign partially refined sugar to ISs. Id. per cwt., No. 2 find that it pays them to export their sugars, and then reimport them as foreign refined sugars for the home market, pay ing the duty thereon. Large quantities of refined and baatard sugars have for sonic time past been exported by the No. '2 refiners from Liverpool and London to Holland, and reimported into this country fur home consumption. Instead of being sent to Holland, they are now sent to the Channel Islands from those ports. Since the erection of the bonded refinery in the Southampton Docks, and the reduction in the fright charged by the South Western 5t..1111 Pae ket Company, whole cargoes of sugar have been sent from Southampton to Jersey, landed on the quay of tho bitter place, so as to fulfil the obligations of the export bonds. and then immediately reshipped and brought back to Southampton and thrown into the market—the identity of the imported with the exported sugar being supposed to be lost be this process. It appears strange and absurd that No. 2 refiners should not be allowed to pay the duty upon their sugar in their warehouses and send it at once into the home market. and that the consumer in this country should have to pay for shipping and reshipping, and sea carriage:, In order that an act of parliament may be evaded. But if this absurdity were done away with so. 2 would have an advantage over No. 1, because they can work with boss capital than the latter, on account . of N their not paying the duty on raw sugar. Besides o. 2 have alone the privilege of supplying the foreign market and shipping. as all his sugars for that purpose are duty fr.s•. It is worthy the attention of the government whether tooth classes of refiners should nut be placed on the same footing, by both being allowed to refine in bond, and to r.y the duty on sugars taken out fur home consumption. The emly difficulty in this arrangement is the expence of • supenisi. n. So glaring an evasion of the spirit of the law iu openly sending sugars, ostensibly for foreign eon sumption, out of the country, first landing them on Jersey quay, and then si openly reimporting them as foreign sugars for the home market, cannot long continue. 110 re will the public submit to pay for a necessary of life a price enhanced by a ridiculous and useless expense which OM been incurre d to comply with the letter of in act of parliament. TIIE PAPAL AGGRESSION BILL. The Earl of Winehilseu has issued the following addms " Brother PmtestantA, Fl •It I thought the 1.111 against the late acts of papal insult and aggression, as first introduced into the lower house of parliament, puerile and nugatory, I scarcely need say, in its present mutilated shape, stripped as it is of the only two clauses which possessed the slightest merit, that the bill is charac terised by the grossest lend most daring insult whi , " 4l was ever offered by any government to the protestant feeling of this great empire. " Whether the Church of Rome is again to be trium phant, and recover her last dominion in thin protestant country—whether our long-cherished civil and religious liberties are now to lx' levelled with the dust—rest upon your individual and united resistance. "'the plain and simple question la-fore you now is—whe ther our protestant sovereign, or this foreigner, the bishop of Rome, shall be the supreme authority within these realms —whether our Queen shell poesess the undivided allegiance of her subjects on all points, spiritual as well as temporal, or that intolerant, ambitious, and uninvited foreigner. " Let me remind you of the memorable words of the great Lord Eldon, on the posing of the fatal measure of 1829. After remarking that no oaths contrary to the interest and ambitious designs of the ehureh of Rome would be found to be binding on the menilarn of tnat church, he proceeded to say—. I know that, sooner or later, this hill will overturn the aristocracy and the monarchy. Nu sincere Roman catholic could, or did, look fur less than a 'Roman authialin. king and a Roman catholic par liament. Their lordships might flatter themselves that the dangers he had anticipated were visionary. When Clo , l' d eig.vs shall It Ise arrived, I shall have been con signed to the tomb; but that they will comet have no more doubt than that I yet continue to exist. You have the word. 4.1 a man who will woo be called to his great account 1 solemnly declare that 1 had rather not be living to morrow morning then on awaking find that I had consented to this measurt , Itches Mg it, as I ,b,, after all the consider ation which I have given it, to be an abrogation of all those laws which I hold to be as neetsaary to the preservation of the throne as of the church, and intlispensible to the es istenee of the Lords and Commons of this realm as that of the kin 2 and of our holy religi,m. If I had not expressed this my humble hut firm conviction, I should have been acting the part of a traitor to my country, my sovereign, and my God.' " Can any rational man entertain a shadow of a doubt, when he dwells upon the tearful pnigress that popery has nude within tom hind since the panning of that measure, that imminent danger surrounds o:eery-thing which is dear to us A. iiitgiirthßlCA and protestant. ? " By the memory of our immortal ancestors, who cheer fully laid down their lives in defence of our protestant faith, and besjueatheel to us (their degenerate and apt.tatc chil dren) those civil and religious liberties which had been vomits' with their blood, as our best and Mora invaluable of all earthly inheritances, 1 call upon every protestant of the empire to spurn from him this grovelling and contemptible measure, and, sinking all minor dill rences, to unite heart and soul in addressing the throne for a dissolution of par [lament, that the sense of the electors may Is' taken on this important sult.jett, and in declaring to our gracious sove reign, in language which cannot be: misunderstood, that those protestaat principles which placed the Illioae of Brunswick upon the British throne must be firmly main tained, and that protestant England with one voice declares she will have no compromise with the church of Rome. I have the honour to be, brother prutestants and fellow antrymen, your humble and devoted servant, WINCIIIIAEA AND NUTTINORAN. Ilaverhohne Friary, March 10." BARON Itornsenttn.—Tho Horsing Poi contains a Iktatemtnt, copied from the Standard, to the effect that Baron Rothschild has embraced Christianity.

An Admiralty barite will at once proceed from Portsmouth to Southamp ton, to convey the contributions ashore. FraTnEa EXTENSION OE COENTT COCRTS.—Lard Brougham's third bill of the present session, relating to county courts, has just been issued. There are 27 clauses in this bill. ?tatters in dispute may he refer td to the arbitration of judges of county courts. 'f he judges of county courts are to hold "Courts of Reconcilement" between parties. The judges of the Court of Chancery may direct accounts and inquiries to be made by the judges, of county courts. fhe county court judges arc to hare the same power as Masters in Chancery in equity proceedings. According to the 21th clause any two judges of the superior courts going the circuit within which any county court is holden may hear and determine appeals from any judgment of such county court. Barrister*, whether instructed or not by an attorney, may appear ou behalf of parties in a cause, and if both parties agree, whatever the action or amount of the claim may be, such action may be tried by a county court. Such is an outline of this somewhat novel bill on the extension of county courts. DESIGNS ACT ESTENSION.—The object of this measure, which has been referred to a select committee of the ]louse of Lords, is to protect new inventions in the Great Exhibition, by extending the Designs Act to inven tions provisionally r•gistend, and also to foreigners in ex hibiting their intentions. SEITCRE OF Fora THOUSAND GALLONS OF Wiiisay.—A seizure of considerable magnitude has just been made by order of the Commissioners of Inlaud Revenue —viz., of 24 puncheons of whisky, ranging from 20 to 30 over proof, and amounting in the gross to 4,000 gallns, at Downe's Wharf, East Smithfield, ut which place it had re- , cently arrived by one of the trading steamers from Scotland. Proceedings will be instituted fur the recovery of penalties to the amount of 1,0001. In consequence of these frauds being brought to light, an order he been issued by the csiminissioners that from henceforth all spirits arriving in the port of London shall be measured, instead of gauged by the callipers, as heretofore. Cottisfir.l AND Loss err• LIFE.—We have to re cord another of these casualties which will go far to render the present season memorable to the suittals of steam navi gation on the Clyde. The screw steamer European, Cap tain 31 4 Callum, sailed on her passage for London about ten minutes past twelve on Sunday morning, and when off the Clod' about 1 o'clock, was run into by the schooner Castle , hill, of Bangor, from Belfast to Glasgow, laden with lime, which went down almost instantly from the effects of the collision, and one of the crew met an untimely death. The following particular we have learned from Captain Wel lum :—The night was dark and overcast with clouds, with strong breezes from the south-west. The steamer at one o'clock was off the Cloth, about a mile and a half from the shore, and to the east of the lighthouse, which appeared to be about 21 nob s distant, when the look-out reported • vessel a-head carrying no light. As scion as it was dheovered what course the vessel, which was running free with the wind, was pursuing, and that she was on a (nurse parallel with the European, Captain NVCallum held on, but ordered the helm to be starboarded to increase the dis tance between the vessels, all the steamer's lights being exhibited. Almost immediately, however, the schooner was observed to port her helm, and bear right down upon the European, which stopped and reversed her engine and endeavoured to hug the shore still closer, but almost im mediately afterwards she came in contact with the schooner s waist aft the forerigging. The unfortunate vessel must have suffered very severely, as she only re mained above water fur about four minutes, when she went down, leaving her masts sticking in the European's rigging, and the crew, which consisted of the master and three men, struggling in the water. The steamer's boats were instantly' got out, and three of the men picked up, but the fourth warn never seen. The master of the schooner, who was one of the survivors, states that his vessel bore no light, as he had caused it to be taken in when past the (loch, imagining that he should meet no more steamers or other vessels at that time of the night. The crew were engaged in taking in the foresail, which prevented them from seeing the steamer's lights, and when they were observed, the master states he het self-posses sion, and gave the usual order to " port " the helm, which, as we have said, had the effect of throwing her right serum the steamer's bows. The European has not suffered much damage ; the principal injury she has sus tained being • split in one of her plates on the starboard bow, from which she made so much water. that Captain Id•Callum judged it prudent to put back.—Sorth British Mail. NECESSITY FOR RAILROADS IN INDIA.—At pre sent it is cakulatest by Mr. Chapman that one million eight hundred thousand bullocks traverse the few routes prac ticable across the Ghouls, in carrying the traltic between the interior and Bombay, of which one hundred and eighty thousand convey cotton. These animals travel in single die, at the rate of three mike an hour. over tracks worn by the feet of their predecessors, depending for food and water on what can be picked up on the way, sometimes delayed by torrents swelled with the melting of the mountain snow, sometimes *teaseling through morasses, sometimes driven ' mad by heat and drought, sometimes struck down in thou sands by an epidemic, and left to rot on the risidside, polluting the air and poisoning the water, to the grievous damage of the droves that follow in their track. Coder such opposing circumstances, it is not extraordinary that our commerce with India makes slow progress. R e forms of laws and of rules, improvements of docks and piers on the coast, will do little towards establi•hing a steady com mercial barter of raw material for manufactured goods be. tween England and India, until we have tapped the in terior, where the great agricultural districts lie.—Dictena's " Wore." RAILWAYS. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. The committee of shareholders appointed at a I THIS DAY. Special general meeting of the company, on the 13th Feb., Two o'Ctogg. with reference to a working agreement with the Eastern I The share market has again been the scene of very great activity to-day, and the dealers are fully Union and Norfolk Railway Companies, have issued their report ;in which, after giving an account of the steps taken worked.

Since the morning, however, ;there has in many lines been a partial reaction, and caution and deliberation which were due to its magnitude as a commercial question, and especially to its vital ire the extreme rates of the day are no longer obtain parlance as affecting the extensive interests entrusted tni their keeping. In Justification of this remark, your cons- I able. mittee notice the hollowing circumstances:-1. That, pro- BIIARPA AND SIIV.IIB UN(iUADANTEED. riesling on a communication, dated 18th January, made on behalf of the Norfolk and Eastern Union Companies, the Board, at a meeting held on Tuesday, the 21st of that month, appointed a deputation, and fixed its first meeting with the deputations from those companies on the following Friday, being the 24th of that month. 2. That the three deputations held a meeting accordingly, on Fri day, the 24th of January, at the offices of the Norfolk Company, and then and there agreed upon the beads of the agreement, which were reported to the board on the 4th, and recommended to the shareholders for adoption on 13th Feb. So that on the third day from the appointment of the deputation, and at their first and only meeting with the deputations from the other companies, were the term, of the proposed arrangement settled and concluded, so far as the deputation and the board were concerned. To this hasty mode of proceeding your committee pr:sume may be attributed the erroneous understatement, to the extent of 10,6001., of the amount of the Eastern Union guarantees, and also the seeming irregularity by which the terms of the minute's of conference in respect to that company's guarantees were permitted On setting forth the amount of that item in the heads of agreement) to be contravened and varied without competent I 1 . authority. Thus, in the former minutes of the cont . , rcnce the Eastern Union guarantees are stated at 72,000/., while in the paper before alluded to, and in the heads of agree ment, they arc declared to be 70,0001. This same paper appears also to furnish the only authority fur the article in the draft agreement already quoted, the operation of which would bind the united companies to pay, under the designation of working expenses, the sum of 10,4001. per annum for rentals and guaranteed interest on account of the Eastern Union Company. But, while your committee recU111111( . 114 the non-adoption of, the terms proposed, they attach a high degree of import- 1 enci to the establishment of an equitable working agree ment, not only with the Eastern Union and Norfolk Com panies, but also with other lines in the eastern districts; and for the accomplishment of which object they think that this company should be prepared to cuter into liberal arrangements. Acting upon this view, yuur committee have opened a communication with the directors of the two former companies, and have taken steps with the view of bringing about a conference with the Newmarket and Chem terford Company ; the East Anglian, they understand, has already) made arrangements with the Great Northern Com pany. 1•our committee have thouiiht it of the utmost import ance to issue this report without delay. and not to wait heron) doing so for the result of the proceedings they have taken in this direction, which may he of uncertain duration ; should, however, they be enabled in the meantime to possess themselves of any further information, the commu nication of which they may think calculated to promote the interests of this company, your committee will be prepared to lay the same before the shareholders at the special meet iag appointed for the 18th instant. Proxies having been It granted by a considerable number of the shareholders a with the slew of supporting the adoption of the proposed agreement, your committer consider it highly expedient y that such proxies should be withdrawn, and accordingly e recommend their formal revocation. With the view of facilitating and ensuring the adoption of that course, your committee have directed a proper form of revocation to be prepared and forwarded with this report to all the share holders, so far as your committee are able to ascertain them, who may have granted such proxies, to be signed by them, and returned le the secretary of the company forthwith."

ALtRMING EXPLOSION OF GAs.—Yesterdav the neighbourhood of Renshaw-street, Liverpool, was thrown into a state of alarm by a report resembling the discharge of a heavy piece of artillery, which was ascer tained to have arisen front an accidental explosion of g un at the shop of Messrs. herring and Co., wholesale confec tioner 4, at the corner of Itescoe-arcade in the above street, by which nearly the whole of the plate-glass front was de molished, the wood-work being riven as thong!' struck by lightning, and considerable damage sustained to the stuck in trade. A large portion of the latter was contained in expensive show glasses. The precise origin of the disaster is not known, but from minute inquiries made upon the spot, as well as at the gas-office, it is supposed that an escape had been for some tune previously going on beneath the double sashes of the shop, and that upon alight being token near them for some purpose connected with the business, ignition took place. Beyond the injury to the shop hoot and the stock, no material damage has been sustained.
