The Marquis of Westminster presided, and ex. pressed his regret that during the past year the expenses should have been such as to oblige the managers to sell out a portion of the funded property, which is thus reduced to only 2,5001; while the amount of destitution had so largely increased, that they had teen obliged to make a call on the public, which he dal not doubt would be responded to. The noble chairman then alluded to the habit adopted by va grants front the country, who procured lodging at the nightly refuges, and came there systematically for their meals, thus turning the institution to a purpose directly op pond to the intention of its founders, whose object was the suppression, not the support, of mendicity. To prevent, es fax as practicable, this misapplication of the resources of the society, the managers have de-ermined in future to give no further relief to persons who shall apply more than six times within three moatbs, unites proper investigation shall prove the cue to be a deserving one. He (the Marquis of West ' minter) could not but express his hope that the society I should bemenagyd in es stringent a manner at possible. The report stated that the income of the past year had been .5,6271. 6e. 2d., of which 4,2691 3a. had arisen true subscrip tions aid donations, and 4771. 10s. from the sale of 6001. stock. The cups nditure on mendicants in 1848 was 2,4231. 17e. 10d., about 3001. less than in 1845. The " begging-letter department," which our readers may not be aware is a system of inquiry into the merits of persons in the habit of begging by ' letter, which persons, all contributors or annual suMcribers are privileged to refer to the society. This department ha; cost 361. more than in the year preceding. The total number I of unregistered cases from October to December of 1845, was 8,027 • daring thy corresponding months of 1846, it was I 10,527. The number of cases in a single day was sometimes 600, which et ndersti investigation as to the merits of all en tirely out of the question. During the year 1846, there had been 29,363 cases ; 148,569 meals had been given ; work had been given to 2,944 persons; 778 vagrants had been com mitted; 6,877 begging-letter cues had been investigated. The number of cases relieved in the fast three months of 1846, was 14,4.57, add in the same period of the present yeAr, 28,539 (nearly double). The meals given in the two periods respectively were 69,711, and 102,440. The begging letter eases in the same periods were, respectively, 1,987, end 3,166. The aubecriptions had risen from 2,1411. in the first three months of 180 to 3,3624. in the same period of the present year. The whale receipts of the year, including the proceeds of the sale of stock, were 5,6571. 6s. 2d. ; the I expenditure had been 5,6521. 17e. 9d. ; leaving a balance in hand of 1041. Bs. 6d. The report was unanimously adopted, and ordered to be printed. The Marquis of Westminster was then elected president in the place of the late Duke of Northumberland. A vote of gratitude to her Majesty for her continued patronage was agreed to ' as was also one of thanks to the Queen Dowager, Prince Al bert, and the rest of the royal family ; after which, votes of thanks to the officers, managers, and to the noble chairman of the day, clued the meeting. ROYAL NAVAL FEMALE INSTITUTION.—The annual general meeting of the patrons and friends of this institu tion, at Richmond, was held on Saturday last, at Willies Rooms, Kingsdeet, St. Jenne's. Sari Menem took the char, and opened the proceedings by calling on the secre tary to read the report, +hien stated that the subscriptions and expenditure of the year ending the 3lst of last March, amounted to 4,1031. Ss. 94d. and that the number of pupils, the orphan children of 0010;141 in the navy, at present in the establishment, was W. It added that the examiiaati.ins which had taken place during that year wire very satisfactory, and concluded by praying for a continuation of the support hitherto bestowed. The meeting was addressed by Lord Colchester, Admiral Bowles, Captain Fiahbourne, Montague Gore, M P., Rear. Admiral Sir Charles Malcolm, Captain Washington, the Rev. J. D. Hales, and other", en the importance of this benevolent dietitians, and the ne ready of continuing to increase their support of its best interests. " Rturr."—The Irish Poor Relief Commis sioners state, in their first report, that, between the 27th of February and the 10:h of April, in the shape of circulars, in structions, reports, and correspondence, they hare con sumed fourteen tom of paper. At this rate, and reckoning paper at the mo,lerate price of 7d, per pound, the " Relief ' Commissioners fulfil their mission at a coat of about 6,8001. per annum fur paper alone. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MAT 8. On Thursday night his Excellency was again at tacked by cough. The following bulletin was toned this morning : "His Excellency 'offered less from cough lut night, and feels better this morning." Inquiries mode this afternoon, so late as 4 o'clock p.m., were answered by the unpleasant intelligence that his Excellency did not feel so well as in the morning, and real a la rm was manifested in communi cating this intelligence. With the Irish landlord, peculiarly, self-interest absorbs all considerations of public utility. Of a great prospective and personal good with the smallest pi client sacrifice he has not the least idea. It may be his poverty struggling against his will ; but such is the fact. This characteristic of the class was strongly illustrated in the opposition raised to railway pro gress. Companies were pat to the inconvenience and expense of numerous inquisitions, and employment retarded, because the landlords would squabble and haggle about a few pounds of money and a few THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1847. perches of land. There have, however, been lions; and the most recent example is furnished by a nobleman who, throughout all the suffering and sick nese of the country, has not abandoned it for a day, and proved as munificent as he has been zealous. The Earl of Kenmare has placed the Killarney Junction Railway in possession of the land from the town of Killarney to the boundary of the county—about 11 miles—on the most reasonable terms ; so that em ployment in that most impoverished district will be afforded to nearly 2,000 persons. Some conception of its poverty will be formed f rom th e f ac t th a t, o n one day's sale of soup at 1 Id. a quart, there was a loss of W. Hs. The poor-rates for the present year are no test of the permanent burthen which the poor-law will im pose upon property. If the future were to equal the present estimate, the opposition of the proprietors could be scarcely deemed unreasonable. The increase has been universal, and in many places enormous. For instance, the rate for three months on the Nenagh union, struck on Wednesday last, amounted to 24,2171. In one electoral division, Knigh, the three months' rate was Bs., or 325. in the pound! In two, 6s. 6d., or 265. in the pound ; in three, 65., or 245. in the pound; in twelve other electoral divisions the rate varied from 3s. the lowest, to ss. 6d. the highest; in two it was 25., and in two more Is. 6d. Thus, out of the 24 divisions composing the union, the rate far exceeded the valuation in 8; and in 9, it reached 80 per cent. of the valuation ! This alarming social condition, which would de facto make the duplicate receipt of the collector the tenant's discharge from all rents, stuns the landlords, who look for refuge and safety in such vain experiments as the Bentinck clauses. It is supposed Father Mathew will be honoured with the crozier and mitre—for two reasons—because he stands at the head of the candidates, which, unless cause be shown, the Papal court recognises as a title to priority; and because of Pius IX.'s attachment to the temperance cause, which would be ineradicably confirmed in Ireland by the episcopal prestige of its apostle. The topic of the day in clubs, and where the flonetsra " most do congregate," is an event which occurred last night in the United Service Club. A gentleman well known in " fashionable circles," officially connected, and long lying under the whie pered imputation of having augmented his resources by those artful means which the name of a deceased lord has immortalised, was caught in the act by a major of hussars. 'fho train was laid, and certain officers were incited to whist and vigilance. When the culprit had won about 1501., he was discovered in the unlawful act of helping himself to an ace, and charged with the baseness. He appealed to a court of inquiry. The investigation goes on to-day. The officers and men of the Enniskillen Dragoons have contributed nearly mu. for the relief of the pixie of Longford. Some of the former are represented to have taken a most active though unostentatious part, having paid for seed, and otherwise stimulated the small cultivators of the district to till their fields. The British army without and within the " four seas" has been prompt and liberal. Notwithstanding the influx of provisions, govern ment still continues its supplies to the remote locali tiee. H.M.S.Badger discharged a cargo of Indian meal and rice in the beginning of last week on the south-west coast, which was distributed gratuitously among the poor of Valentia and Cahirciveen. The Emerald discharged a cargo of seed barley and barley meal for the use of the same districts. On both sides of the Kenmare river relief has been administered from the government depots. The poor people have been very tranquil under the most terrible destitution. The Board of Works issued an order yesterday for the instant dismissal of a number of pay clerks. A great many had been previously reduced, consequent on the reduction of the labourers on the public works. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, HAY 7. What the May meetings in Exeter Hall are to ' London, the general assembly meetings are to Edin burgh, with this difference, that, along with the didactic which forms the staple ingredient in mission arc addresses, the legislative and judicial functions of the assembly combine in giving a miscellaneous cha racter to its oratorical proceedings which the ordinary routine of platform procedure cannot fur nish. The recent discnption of the chinch has put an end to the debating gladiatorship of former days ; but the popular spirit of presbytery will not long admit of this ; and in proportion as the chasm or time widens between the separated parties, fresh causes of excitement will spring up in each, and fill their floors with combatants. In the esta blished assembly, which meets in a fortnight, the marriage and reighleatiaa bills, the education scheme, the question whither the parish clergy should be university professors, will likely form the leading topics of discussiUn. The marriage and registration bills will infallibly be condemned ; the education scheme may meet with moderate support, and probably plurality of offices will be declared against. In judicial matters some of the recent government presentees may have their claims sifted— as the church has rather a cold eye for crown nomi nees when the whigs are in office. In the free church assembly financial details will necessarily occupy some time ; then the education scheme, site question, the sending back of the money received from America, the property of the chapels of ease, &c., will fall to be discussed. The education debate, if it assume that form, will be favourable to the government plan; but the money will not be sent back, for this, among other reasons, that no public body ever likes to be "bearded" into compliance with a request which it is averse to. The voluntary dissenters are also to have a general assembly, as their two great divisions, called the secession and relief churches, which respectively left the establishment in 1740 and 1752, are now, after nearly a century of independent progress, about to unite into one mass, and so will be able to form a supreme representative court like their neighbours. It has been ascertained that in the county upwards of 100,000 people have only partial employ, and that neatly 25,000 are wholly unemployed. YORKSHIRE.

ODD Fettowsuir.—On Tuesday night last, the Rev. Dr. Hook, vicar of Leeds, the Rev. Thomas Nunns, incumbent of Trinity Church, Leeds, the Rev. Edward Jackson, clerk in orders of the parish church of Leeds, and curate of St. James's Church, and Mr. Alderman Dunton Luocock, were admitted members of the Grand United Order of Odd , Fellows, by the merabersof the Lord Duncan Lodge, usually anew:ling at the Bee Hive Inn, Vicar-lane, Leeds, but which, on this special occasion ' met in the Music 11.11, Leeds. The vicar of Leeds, and Alderman Lucoock, when recently mayor of the borough, had previously been admitted memben of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, the Rev.

REPRESENTATION SF NORTH NORTHUSTERLAND.—A requisition was presented to Sir George Grey on Thursday lust, soliciting him to SPOORe a candidate for this division. To this Sir George has declined to respond ; so that, in all probability, Lords Loraine and Ossalston will be elected without a contest. POISONING AT DEVONPOSIT.—Henry Humphrey Gilbert, a young man about 26 years of age, formerly clerk-in-charge of the Avenger, but lately borne upon the books cf H.M.S.

It appears that being on shore on Wedneeday evening, he met with Bliss McMinn, a woman of bad character, whom be accompanied to a beer-shop, known es the Victory of China."

Nothinwas observed in the conduct of Pedler which MY caleulalM to excite the slightest suspicion that he entertained any ill feeling towards either Gilbert or McMinn, with whom he was seen to convene upon friendly terms, and en Thurs day morning the whole tarns were drinking together in the same house. It was whilst they were thus occupied that Pedler handed to McMinn a glassof porter which he re quested her to drink; but a girl who was present, named Eliza Card, having whispered to her that she had seen Pedler put into the glass a white powder, which be had taken from his waistcoat pocket, McMinn tas ted the porter, and conceiv ing that it hod a disagreeable flavour, she threw away the contents ef the glass. Shortly after this, a glass of porter was also offered by Pedler to Gilbert, which he drank, and won after became Insensible. It was then discovered that Pedler had left the house • and, alarm being excited, medical aid was sort for. Mr. Tripe, surgeon, employed the usual means of recovery, and in his capacity seam police magistrate directed Pedler to be taken into custody directly he could be found. This was between twelve and one o'clock, and at helf-past three o'clock Gilbert expired, having been in a state of in sensibility from the moment medical aid was procured. It was not tuitil three hours after the death of GilLert that Pedler was apprehendel and charged with having adminis• tered the poison. He now awaits the result of the coroner's inquest, which wee commenced, and, after the above facts ' had been given, was adjourned till Thursday next. GLOUCESTERSHIRE.

One opponent is spoken of in the person of Mr. William Tripp, who was a candidata at the last and preceding elec. tions, but was, upon each occasion, defeated. It is aloe rumoured that the Anti-State Church Association, aided by the chartists, will start a cindidate to represent their pecu liar Fleirg, and the name of Mr. Robert Norris has been mentioned. _ _ SUSSES. AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY on Saturday moriing, by which several carriages were de molished, and considerable damage done to the Brighton station. It appears that a train of luggsge-waggons having been hacked into a siding, the engine was detailed, and the engien driver proceeded with it through the points on to the main down line on the London aide of the cos pany's works (above six hundred yards from the terminus). There, from some cause so yet unexplained, it wee left on the line, the engine driver and stoker attending to some trifling business in the engine-houve. According to their statement, they left the gear of the engine in a proper and secure state ; but this seems somewhat improbable, as in a few minutes it was observed in motion, bearing down the line in the direction of the terminus. The engine-driver and stoker ran vo overtake it, and many others joined in the chase, but it gained speed every moment, and dashed into the carriages with terrific farce, breaking them to pieces, the fragments of which struck the front of the psroels office and the refreshment room with such violence es to force them in. The engine, strange to say, kept its equilibrium, although it van off the rails, and sustained ;little injury. The directors have ordered the driver to be taken into custody, he having acted contrary to the rules and regulations of the company. SUFFOLK. THE MURDER OP A GERMAN GIRL, at Ipswich, by • man named Barker, has already been reported in this paper. The culprit was immediately arrested and taken before the coroner and jury on the following day, and at the dose of the proeeidinge was removed to this borough jail. The next day when the jury met, the police intimated to the coroner that the prisoner had made his escape. Early that morning, he had been taken into what is termed the airing-yard, and di- redly the turnkey had turned his back, he scaled the veal I ofthe yard, and dropped into the prison-garden. There he obtained • pair of steps, which enabled him to re aeb the top of the outer-wall, and then jumped to the ground, a depth of 18 feet. Here he met with a tent ;le, at whom he shook his fist, and threstened her injury it she made any alarm. lie then made off. The escape of so notorious a character created much indignation amongst the jury, who expressed an opinion that the jail authorities had been guilty of the most culpable neglect. The inquest was resumed, and a verdict of " Wilful murder" Woe recorded against George Barker. Sinai the above was written, it has been sadden- ' torily ascertained that the prisoner Barker is again in cus tody. Having suffered greatly from want, and tortured with the consciousness of the crime be had committed, be I determined to seek his relatives, and then give himself up to justice, which be did on Friday, at the village of Swilland. He has since expressed the deepest contrition ; he nye he I had no intention of killing the girl. WALES. Tea MURDER Or THREE CHILDREN Elf THEIR MOTHER near Carmarthen hu been already described in this journal. The inquest on the belies was concluded on Thursday. The chief evidence adduced was as follows —D. Owens said, on May 3 he was standing in company with a friend near his house, at Llanddewybrt fi, when their attenten was drawn to a wretched-locking female wading tbrnugh the river in the direction of Cumarthenshire. Suspecting she was the mother who was charged with mur dering her children, they determined to follow her. Coming up to her they asked her if she was the daughter-in-law of John Davis, which she denied, but subsequently admitted she was the party. They then asked her how she could be so cruel as to murder her children. For several minutes she made no answer, but burying her face in her hands gave way to excessive grief. Recovering, she exchimed, " Yee, I did it, and I will tell you all from the commencement. I saw the food finishing, and no means of getting more, and I thought I and the children would starve. I could do nothing to sup port then. My father bus been a good father to me. I have bad scores of pounds from him; but be has been cross with me, and said that he would finish me—no that I did not know what I was doing, or where I was going—and that is how I am at this minute." She cried bitterly all the time, and endeavoured to escape into the mountains, praying or witness to let her go to starve, as she said, but he kept hold of her, and with a good deal of persuasion she accompanied them to the village, where she was given into custody. On her way the following day to Llanybyther she related the manner in which she hanged the children. She said she hanged the two eldest first, and the infant afterwards. It was better for them to suffer at once than suffer from starva tion. Several witnesses spoke of the state of mind of the unfortunate woman, which for a length of time was that of a person insane. The Coroner having addressed the jury on the melancholy case before them, they retired, and after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Mary Hughes, who was forthwith com mitted for trial at the Summer Assizes. PROVINCIAL. LANCASIIIRE. Ton CORN QUESTION is again beginning to be agitated in Manchester. The great advances which have takes. place in food recently, when prima were already at a famine height, coupled with the depression of trade, and the consequent suffering of vast masses of people wholly or partially thrown out of employ, is naturally causing some anxiety there, in ignorance as to what may be the Intention of government with reference to keeping the ports open, and s public meet ing is in contemplation to petition parliament not to separate without repealing entirely and unconditionally the duty on foreign corn. A requisition to the mayor to cell a meeting for that purpose, has received the signature of 2.50 of the principal individuals and firms in the town, but owing to the absence of his worship from town, it is under stood th at a week or ten days will elapse before the meeting takes place. The state of destitution into which many of the working classes have been thrown, has given rise to much alarm that fever will spread rapidly, from numbers of fami lies being crowded together in the same cottage, and Lbe town council passed a resolution on Wednesday authorising the police to put in force the provision of the sanitary act for regulating common lodging-houses, by which power is Riven to limit the number of lodgers m such houses and to see that regard is had to cleanliness. It has been ascertained that in some of these wretched places as many as sixteen or twenty perms have been sleeping in the same apartment. 011FoLIC.

ROTAL ITALTAN OPERA.—Donixeftre tragic opera (or " tnigedie lyrique," as the French call it), " Mann di Riihan, was produced at Covent.garden on Saturday even ing. This opera is among the latest of Donisetti's works and has been performed, with moderate success, at the Italian Opera in Paris, and in several theatres is Italy. The libretto is a v. rsion of the well known French play, Un Duel soup Richelieu," which has been rendered familiar to the London public not only by repeated performances by different French companies, bat by en adaptation to the English stage. Without going, theretOre, into details, it is sufficient to remind our readers of the tragical incident en which the subject turns. The heroine, Maria of Rohan, is married to the Guts de Cheoreuse, but she loves, and is beloved by, his friend, the Count de Maki+. Chalais is engaged in a duel with a licentious courtier, Gondi (afterwards so celebrated in the history of France), whom tongue had traduced the lady's fame, and Cheyenne, unaware of the cause of quanta, becomes his felt niPs second. Chalaia is prevented Mein arriving at the place of rendezvous till Cheyenne islossW has fought and conquered his adversary. A parting Idler, addressed by Chains+ to Maria, on the eve of the duel, ilb into the hands of Cherreuor, and discovers the secret iota , mune of the lovers. While he is upbraiding his wife for her falsehosd, Chalais enters. The infuriated husband farm the seducer to instant combat. Cholas+ falls, and the scene clines upon the distraction of the wife. There is deep tragic interest to this subject; and, is the original French play, the fine acting of hladame Albert made a great impression on the public. The dramatic effect of the piece has by no means been heightened by its con version into an opera; the strength of every scene being merely diluted by the weak mush: of Donizetti. The music, indeed, is not altogether without merit. In this, as in other operas, written towards the end of his career, the composer seemed to be tending towards the German who - 4, exhibiting greater depth and solidity in hit vocal harmony as well as in his instrumentation. " Maria di Rotten " has a regular over ture—a thing which, in his rainier works, Dohizetti did not attempt. It must have eat him no small labour, and be bus put ell the instrumenU on hard duty, but the result of their exertions is little more then noise aild confusion. Some of the concerted music is well combined and vigorous, particu larly the finale to the fire act, which very happily camerae the confusion of the scene and the varied passions of the per sons, while it contains broad and resonant harmony. The air. are destitute of individuality; they posse's no distinct and peculiar features which stamp them on the memory ; they are mere chances rung on trite and familiar phrases which have been heard a thousand times before. W they happened to produce any effect, it was due to the voice, execution, or expression of the per former.. From this general remark, however, we must make an exception in favour of two airs, belonging to the part of Gontli, which have a character of their own independently of that given them by the sdmirsble performance of Mdlle. Alboni. Condi is r. resented as a young petit maitre of the court; and Alboni's personation of the character was one of the cleverest thing, that can be imagined. She assumed the gay and gallant air, the easy stesio4sdasset, the familiar swagger, of the youthfu l oraeosab with Wilke esprit and miimation. Dosiaetti has been happy in die music of this part The sir, " Per non Isla, in este, • inestieg tale of vandal at the berMaa's expense, is quaint Med original; and nothing could be 1:11 , 4* piquant than Abseils delivery of it. The other air, " Sea !elegem nell' Mere," rung by Conti before kis duel, Its a tone in which Suess feeling i. mingled with his levity, reminded us not • little of Weber. It was snag seam exquisitely, avid Wend with seclamatiocs. Unfortunately, however, this pert of Garai is but a slight clue; he appears only in two genes, early in the piece. Like Mercurio, he throws a glee= of manalthse upon a gloomy scene ; bet his untimely disap pearance (mpg civilly when represented by an Alboni) leaves nothing behind it to fill up the blank which it creates. Madame Rooconi, who performed the part of the heroine, was wholly incompetent to the task. Her only qualification was a handsome person, which she set off by two or three changes of gorgeous costume during the piece. Her voice was mediocre, her intonation oftin distress ingly inoorrect, her execution unfinished, and her dramatic action eatirelj conventional. It is with pain that we speak in terms of such unqualified dispraise. For tie lady herself we felt nothing but sorrow, our blame being directed to the management which threw her into so false a position. What made this conduct still more strange was the circumstance that Oriel, who had performed the part in Paris, and to whom, indeed, it belonged, was lying by unemployed. The characters of Cheereuse and Chakiia, —the injured husband and his treacherous friend,—were most ably performed by Roncocii and Salvi. It was, how ever, more by his acting than his singing, and by the dramatic more than the musical qualities of his singing, that Honconi earned his reception in several scenes. In the music of his part there is not a bar of melody intrinsieelly beautiful or expressive. There is no charm in his voice that can create beauty without the composes's aid ; and nothing therefore could be more uninteresting than his performance in the earlier portion of the opera. But in the seems which immediately preceded the catastrophe, his tragic powers developed themselves. Ala rnately expressive of rage, despair, relenting tendemena, and gloomy resolution, his assents converted the unmeaning notes of Donisetti into the most powerful language of passion. The effect of these scenes was immense, and the efforts of the performer wire rewarded by the enthusiastic applause of the audience. Salvi was a perfect representative of the Could de CA Moir. His noble figure, fine countenance, and chivalrous bearing, made him the beau ideal of a gentleman of the old French court. What he had to sing was worthless in itself, but he gave it a beauty not its own by his charming voice and perfect execution. By them means he obtained an ensure for one of his airs— Alma soave e nn"—as pretty a piece of musical namby-pamby as we would desire to meet with. Too much praise cannot be given to the taste and splendour of the mist ass scene, the fulness and firmness of the thorns singing, and the superb performance of the orchestra. On the whole, it appears to us that the manage ment of this theatre have made a second mistake (the " Italians in Alfieri" being the first) in their selection of operas. An inferior pi. ce of Donisetti's is not what we would expect after all that has been said about the revival at this theatre of the great masterpieces of the musical stage. We can assure the managers that their failure —or let no Oa it delay—in redeeming their pledges, is creating a feeling of disappointment, which, if continued, will bi very prejudicial to their interest. THE HUNGARIAN INSTRUMENTAL VOCALISTS.—'rhe announcement of a concert by four Hungarian brothers, doss not present any great features of interest, or promise any thing beyotid what the public have been long heartily weary of; and this fact will sufficiently account for the thin audience at the Haymarket theatre on Saturday, when MM. Weis, Zorer, Schwarz and Orungring, made their debut. Their entertai nment must, however, become popular, as Waft a• it* nature is known, for a desicteration is thereb y supplied which an Englisk üblie cannot resist—something entirely new. The per formanoo of imitations of various instruments— the cornet-i-piston, the violin, the beutboy, and the horn— throurh the medium of the Bps only; and this is achieved in a manner not merely enabling the hearer to recognise the different instruments, but to supply their place in a fully efficient manner. The two first of the above-named gentle men compose thin novel kind of orchestra, and accompany their brothers, who exercise their voice in the usual manner. The national Hungarian airs, thus rendered, are extremely effective and pleasing; and so an end—apart freni the means by which th. y are produeed—will amply repay a visit. As may be supposed, the softer instruments are given by far the mast suomssfully, owning, as they do, more within the com pass of the human voice. lINIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS.

HeCrethe Lard Chancellor. • Ix THE MATTER OP A SoLICITOIL—PRITILELH. - - - Mr, Korailly moved for the discharge of Mr. N. a solicitor, from arrest. He had attended ehis court at the hearing of an ap peal last Wednesday, in " Jones o. Rose," being solicitor for the plaintiff in the cause. As soon as the hearing was over, he proceeded by stesm-boat from Westminster-bridge to London-bridge, on his way to his offices in CeOiall-court, Throgmorton-street, City, but after leaving the boat at Loa don-bridge, he turned off his way to the right, along Thames-street, with the intention of having his dinner at the Ship Tavern. He was arrested by an officer under an attachment out of the RAU Court, before he reached the tavern. The spot where be was arrested was 31 , 5 yards east direct route from London-bridge to his offax. The tavern was 400 yards distant. He told the effecter that he was returning from Westminster to his offiors in Copthall court, and turned out of his way to take some refreshment at the said tavern, and he claimed his pri vilege redeem& from the court but the (Meer who had watched him from court refused to listen to him. The learned counsel, after reading the party'. affilierit of those facts, said there were several cases in which the {'refection of the court to pan is s, witnesses, and solicitors attending the warts, was carried to a greater extent than he required. lathe ease of " Lightfoot v. Cameron " (Sir W. Blacketone'-e Rep. 1,113), the defendent bad, after attending his cum in court all day, cone to dine with his attorney and witnesses at an inn in Palace-yard, and was arrested at dente;; and the Court of King's Bench beld that such necessary refreshment was not such a deviation as to cancel the defendant's privi lege reek-undo. In Pitt o. Coomes "(5 Baraew. and Adol., 1,070), the plaintiff, after making a motion in his cause in court, went direct to his cffice in the Adelphi, where he ha:l some refreshment ; end sherwards, as he was going home to his residence in the Polygon, he went into a tailor's shop and was there arrested under an attachment, by an officer who bad watched him. He was discharged by the Court of King's Bench, Chief Justice Denman say ing, " The doctrine of deviation might become alarming if carried to such an extent, that when an officer raw a party going one yard out of his way brute he might arrest him. The officer should not dodge too closely. A party on his return from a court of justice ought substantially to receive its protection till be reaches home." There was mill a stronger case in the matter of Servercrop (2 Deacon and Chitty, 99). A. wit,,, ss from Grave send,after attending the Court of Review at Westminster, left in the evening to return home by steam boat from London-bridge, but was arrested by a creditor in Pancras-lane, is the City, where he bad just gone while waiting for the host. The ceurtdischargedhim, although it was sworn that he had been seen in Catherine-street, in the Strand, which war a greater deviation from his direct way than the deviation in the present ease. The comets always construed the privilege libeeally. There was awe (in Mr. Cooper's Rep., p. I) of Winkles, a solicitor, who, after at tending an ap peal in the House of Lords as an agent, was on his way home, and went into a house in Dover-street, Piccadilly, to take refreshment, when he was arrested. The , Lend Chancellor ordered his discharge. Mr. Raft opposed the application on an affidavit of the officer who made the arrest. The question was, whether the deviation was eactunble. The officer says he made the arrest about a quarter of a mile distant from the direct way to Mr. N.'s office, in Cepthall.court. The direct way would be up King William.street ; but instead of going hose that way, he was met in Thames-street, between 300 sod 400 yards distant. There were many taverns in the direct way to afford refreshment. He says his intenti .n was to go to dine at the Ship; but no one could judge of his intention but himself. He did not say he was in the habit of dining there ; and, upon inquiry, it was ascertained that he was not known at the Ship tavern. The privilege ought not to be extended indefinitely; there mast be some limits to it. Nose of the cases cited went I. this length. There was no deviation in Pitt's ease, or in Watkins' rue, but this party WEB out of his route altogether. The privilege of protection had been conferred to parties while coming to the cowt and returning home in a direct route. Mr. Hominy, in reply, said, if Mr. Chidley, another soli citor in the cause of " Jones e. Rowe," were examined viva vox in court; which was sometimes done, he would state that Mr. N. told lrin he intended to dine at the Ship. He had accompanied him to London-bridge, sad left him to go to that tavern, where he (Chidley) rays this solicitor was in the habit of dieing. The deviation was not to great as ap peared, for the beat way to his offices was through Grace ehurch-street, which was a good deal to the east of King William-street, sad nearer to the Ship tavern. The Lord Chancellor: Still the deviation was without ex- cuss, if he was not really going to the Ship tavern to take refreshment. Ur. ItomiSy .

The motion was refused, with oats. The court was occupied with other mot'orts, chiefly on points of practice, all day, but as they were not decided, we reserve the-report. It was understood that the Lord Chan cellor will not sit in court again until the first day of Trinity Term. Before the Meeker of the Rolls. SUFFIELD V. BOND.—INJIINCTION TO 111 STRAIN AN ACTION AT LAW DisSOLvED —lt appeared iu this case that Joseph Bond, with Lis brothers, Ephraim and Robert, were proprietors of a club-house in St. Jean's, of which many noblemen and gentlemen were members, and swept other, the plaintiff, Lord Suffield ; and in ei ruin gaming tranme does which took place there, Lord SUffietd gave bills to Ephraim Bond. Messrs William and Jame* Morgan, who were the stockbrokers of Ephraim Bond, brought an action against the plaintiff on these bills. Thin was aubscquet tly abandoned, end the defendant, Joseph Bond, afterwards brought another action against the plaintiff; on the ground that the bills had come to bins on Loud consideration. A bill was filed by the plaintiff for an injunction to r , strain the action at law. The injunction was obtained, and Meson. Wilcock and Dickenson to-day, on behalf of the plaintiff, showed cause on the merits against dimiliing it. Mr. Turner appeared on the other aide ; but the Master of the Rolle, without hearing him, said it had her n all. ged that the defendant had not clearly made out his own case on his answer, and that, therefore, the injunction ought to con tinue. That tenon was not *efficient. The plaintiff must himself show circumstances from which the court might de lve an opinion that his cue would be established hereafter. It had also been urged, that by amending this bill, plaintiff would be able to obtain very important information from the defendant. That again was no reason why an Injunction should continue hanging over the head of the defendant, sad he should, therefore, make absolute the order to dissolve the injunction. Before the Vice-Chancellor of EsglawL CASTILLI V. HOARE.—ROBBERY 01' DIAMONDIL—Is- CI:DICTION Drennan.—Mr. Stuart and Mr. Wright snored to dissolve an injunction, obtained on the 2nd of February last, to restrain the defendant from transferring or wiling • sat of Me funds the cum of 6001., three-and-a quarter per teat. Bank annuities, under the following circumstances : It • will be recollected that a person named Robert Kerr who was captain of the ship Levenaide, landed at Folk.-stone with a box of diamond., consigned to the plaintiffs, Mrs-n. Castelli, from Bahia, and proceeded with them to London ; that he took op his abode at the Albion Tavern, which was kept by a man named Forman; that Forman introduced Kerr to the defendant Hoare who, with the advise and assistance of a person named Benjamin Benjamin, disposed o. **diamonds to Mears. Blogg and Martin, diamond merchants ia the city, for the cunt of 1,7.10. Kerr was afterwards tried for the robbery of the denude, and was coevieted and sentenced to be transported. It appeared that some of the money _given for the diamonds was paid in bank note*, which Ace afterwards found to have been laid out in the purchase d risk stock by the defendant, and this injaseties was 1111INIIquently granted to restrain the sale of that**. It tat saw stated that the defendant bad been entirely llgeelosht throughout the transaction of any fraud hang in- Moiled • that he was introduced to Kerr fur the ramose of . maimilaim some clothes ; that his advice was asked re egeering the sale of the diamonds ; that knowing seehig who aver about the nature of diamonds, he had ap- Idled to a friend named Benjamin, who *leo declared that ho knew nothing of their value, but *poke to a kited of his named Giddsoa, who recommended an application to be made to Messrs. Blogg and Martin ; that after the sale had been effected, Kerr made a present of some of the diamonds to the defendant and Forman for their trouble in the business; that some of the bank-notes paid by Mean. Blogg and Martin had been handed ever es the de fendant in paymeutof clothe*, and in the purchase ifs watch and chain ; that be had given Kerr change for several of the notes, and that he had purchased the stock with these notes ; that the defendant had given every information eancerning the transaction, and it was through his evidence that Kerr was convicted ; that the plaintiffs had now ree0•1111111 their lost property, and that, coturequeutly, the injunction ought to be dissolved. It was alro contended that the plaintiff ought to hive stated in his bill fur the injunction, that the diamonds had been returned. This had not been done; the plaintiff had therefore been guilty of misrej retentatice, by omitting this material fact in his bill. Mr. Bethel! and Mr. Cairns, in support of the bill, ac counted fur the omission of any statement as to the fact that the diamonds had been returned, by saying that there had not been time to amend the bill before the application for all in junction was made. They also contended that the defen d ant by his answer had set forth a fact which was calculated to induce a belief that he had been aware that the diamonds were not the property of Kerr, for he bad stated that For man represented them to belong to a cousin of his, and that ' ha believed cud; statement to be true, when it was evident ha must bars been aware this was not the fact. • The Vice-Chancellor said be should certainly diesol t ledeemeion. it was a most material facto have boa ,-. ...i 4 4 Me the knowledge of the court, when the i ~,.; ..17: 1 •" . - was appii.
