Dumas, Jan. 28. The aggregate meeting at the Rotondo on the Viceroyalty question was held yesterday, and it is but justice to say that the demonstration was in every respect a most important one. It would have been difficult, indeed, for public opinion in Ireland to have found a more imposing and solemn mode of express ing itself than on this occasion. The whole country might be said to have been represented there ; for there is no town or locality of any note from which there were not some professional men or others pre sent. All the classes of society in Ireland were also amply represented. Of the large number of Irish peers who had signed the requisition, several were present ; the Irish members of the House of Commons mustered strongly. The corpora tion of Dublin was there almost to a man : the lawyers and solicitors deserted the courts for the purpose of attending; the mercantile people seemed to make the case especially their own, and assembled in great numbers; and the tradesmen and opera tives thronged the body of the meeting. The object of the demonstration was to protest against the abolition of the viceroyalty, and in general against the further extension of the centralizing policy towards Ireland. The scope of the different speeches was to show the ruinous effects which centralization has produced upon Dublin, and, through Dublin, upon Ireland generally, and the necessity of at least preserving the institutions which have been left to this country, if none of those that have been removed can be re covered. There was nothing, however, of the " re peal " element in the proceedings. Almost all the speakers protested their earnest desire to main tain the union of the two countries; but it was easy to perceive, from the enthusiasm with which any expression savouring of distinct national ity was received by the balk of the meeting, how deeply popular was the chord which had been touched. The proceedings on the whole, though characterised by the warmest cordiality, were calm, orderly, and unanimous; and most probably there is no instance in Irish history in which so many men of totally dis tinct parties met together for a political object with such hearty unanimity. The proceedings commenced at twelve o'clock, and did not conclude until a tow minutes past seven, and towards the close of the meeting, several distinguished speakers, to whom no place had been assigned among the proposers and seconders of the resolutions, briefly addressed the assemblage. Among the noblemen and gentlemen on the platform were: the Right. Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Marquis of Westmeath, the Earl of Howth, the Earl of Mayo, Lord Talbot de Malahide, Hans Hamilton, M.P., George Alexander Hamilton, M.P., Henry Grattan, M.P., W.

BUM, TIM Mama or rrn /Wu" RE NORTEERN_ COAL MINING COMPANY ER PARTE B•OO L.-CONTRIBUTORY, This was applicaticn on behalf of the offltial manager of the above company, appointed under the Winding up Arts, that the Master might be directed to amend the list of con tributories by inserting the Slide of Mr. Baum, M.P. for Norfolk. It appeared that Mr. Biggs was the owner of 260 scrip shares in the company, and that in 1840 he sold than to the directors at the market pries of the day. By the deed of settlement of the company it was provided that any pro prietor of shams who should be deei , ous of selling them should give notice of his intention to the secretary, informing him of the name and place of residence of the proposed pur chaser ; and power wu given to the directors either to accept such purchaser or to buy up the shares for the company. Mr. Barge did not go through the form of naming a purchaser to the dirictors, and no person was registered as the transferee of the shares from Mr. Beggs. It was contended for the official manager that as the forms prescribed by the deed of settlement bad not been complied with, Mr. Bagge continued to be liable for the debts of the company as between the cvartnere. On the other hand, it was contended for Mr. Bagge the the forms of transfer prescribed by the deed related only to registered shares, and not to scrip, end that at the time er the male there were no registereo shareholders; and, there fore, the requisitions of the deed as to the forms prescribed for the transfer of shares could not be complied with. was also alleged that the shareholders had eotioe of the sale of the shares and were precluded be acouieseecce nom taking advantige of an Informality. The Master took this view of the ease, and struck Mr. Bagge's name from the list of contributories. Mr. Turner and Mr. Daniel were for the official manager, and Mr. R.

Lord Campbell now delivered judgment in this case, and said that the court thought that it was • ease which did not essentially differ from the Birmingham case in the 10th Queen's Bench Reports, the authority of which had not been disputed on the part of the responden's. The Rvyal Man chester Institution was founded entirely for the cultivation of edema, literature, and the fine arts, and was supported wholly er partially by yearly voluntary contributions, and by its laws it could not whilst it existed divide any bonus of money, gift, or dividend amongst the members. The object of the members of the institution seemed to be that which they professed, and their principal object was not recreation and amusement. The building was erected from funds sub scribed by the shareholders, and the funds were placid in the hands of trustees to be spent for the purposes of science, literature, and the fine arts. Lectures were occasionally delivered on literary and scientific matters, to which officers In the army, literary and scientific persons, and other people, were admitted free of expense on application to the secre tary. The lectures, which were paid for, were at the expense of the institution. At the converusiones papers were read on scientific subjects, and the party who read them bad the privilege of inviting 20 friends. Some rooms in the institution were used for the purpose of 'Whiting peintings, and artists were assisted in *Alin,/ their pictures, wiihout any profit being obtained by the institution. There were also museums of natural history. The expenses of She institution were chiefly defrayed by the subscriptions of the members. This being • society prima facie within the serve of the act, the court had to examine the objections made against the exemption claimed. The first objeciou war founded on a power vested in the trustees Ito let off any part of the building not wanted for the purposes of the institution, but for the part so let off no exemption was claimed. The Greenwich cue would not apply, for there the premises were let off at a profit ; but in the pre sent case the funds were applied to the general purposes of the society. Another objection was made on the fact that when paintings coming from a distance were sold at the exhibitions, the society deducted 5 per cent. on the proceed.,' which woe represented u a commission, and as evidence of carrying on a trade for profit. It appeared, however, that the society paid the expense of the carriage of the picture', which exceeded the amount deducted for commission. The next objection was from an expression to the rules of the society—" That the building was to be used for the exhibition of paintings, and otherwise for the purposes of education and knowledge." It was cootendea that this expression would authoriie the teaming on of secular education, which could not be brought within the 6th at d 7th Vitt., cap. 36; but, to remove all doubt upon the matter, the words were added, consistent with the porpoise et the insti,ution. The court cid think that establishing • school would be consistent with those purposes. It was further said that this was • society for profit, because strangers were admitted to the exhibition of paintings on the payment of a smell sum for admission but that was applied to the purposes of the society, aud might be taken as a voluntary contribution. The last objection was that on the dissolution of the society the property was to be sold, and the proceeds divided amongst the members. There was no prohibition in the act of parliament against so doing. It was said that the members might accumulate capital amongst themselves; but there was no reason to think that there was any profit to be divided amongst the members of the institution, and therefore that war no answer to the claim of exemption, while the institution fairly carried out the objects for which it was founded. Tokiag the whole of the circumstances of the case into consideration, the court thought that the learned Recorder bad correctly decided in amending the me, by striking out the assessment made in respect of this institution, and that the rule for quashing the order of sessions ought to be discharged. _ Rule discharged. THE QUEEN IP. BRENDT.-THE MANCHESTER CONCERT HALL.— J troOtig;;: Lord Campbell, in delivering judgment in this cue, said that the court thought that the Manchester Concert-halt was liable to pay poor rates. It could not be said lista the society who occupied it had founded it entirely for the pur , of science, literature, and the fine arts. M us ic no grut was one of the fine arts; but it seemed the principal ! object that the members of this society had in view was their own recreation and amusement. What was the object of the institution? The building was built, ate cost of 11,0001., by the Manchester Concert Society, the money being borrowed for that purpose, and vested in trustees to secure the repayment of the money, with interest. The society had 600 members, amongst whom were mem bers of parliament, baronets, barristers, and all the richest inhabitants of Manchester. The members wire admitted by ballot, and paid a yearly subscription of 51. 6s. and there wire others called quasi members, also elected by ballot, end paying an annual subscription of 21. lbs. 6d. The subscriptions, after paying the current expenses of the institutioo, went to pay off the interest of the debt, end likewise the principal, which was now only 6,0001. Amongst the payments made thtre was NU. for an organ, and other articles were bought of a most luxurious kind. There were several concerts given, some of which were drew concerts, and others were undress. The court had to decide whether this society came within the scope of the act ; but although the object of the society was very laudable and right, being to encourage the practice of the art of music, vet the court could only look upon the society as a club of 600 gentlemen associated together for their own amusement, and, there fore, net entitled to the exemption given by the act. Seth a society wee not intended to raise a virtual rate upon the inhabitants of the place where the building was situated. It appeared that in consequence of this society being established, a professor of music had come from London and settled in Manchester, who would not stay there if the society were dissolved. The court hoped that the socie:y might long flourish, paying its poor rates. The court could not distinguish this from any similar institution be came it was established by subscriptions. The court, taking the whole circumstances of the case into their cousidera.lon, should confirm the decision of the Recorder, although they differed from hie ratio decidendi, and the rule for quashing the order of sessions must be disc harged.: Rule discharged. THE QVlllf V. BLLCIATOSE.—CRIMINAL IN7ORMATION FOR ♦ LIBLL. The Solicitor-Gauen' said he had to apply on behalf of three gentlemen named John Annan Hedges, John Kirby Reign, sad Charles Kirby Hedges, • fattier and his two sou, for • rile callingjon William Seymour Blackstone, Esq., M.P. for the town of Wallingford, in Berks. to show cases why a criminal information should not be filed against him for libel. Mr. Hedges and his eons were solicitors, cerrymg on business in Wallingford. It appeared that in 1845 Mr. Blackstone was possessed of some property in the county of Berke, which he sold to his cousin, • Mr. Harry Lee. Messrs. Hedges acted as the solicitors for Mr. Lee, and Mr. Blackstone bad his own solicitor. After the property wee sold Mr. Blackstone, being a relation of Mr. tee's, interfered in the management of the property, and, as Meters. Hedges thought, in • manner sot advantageous to Mr. Lee. Bk. Blackstone appeared to have entertained a determined purpose to get rid of Meagre. Hedges as the soli. citors of Mr. Lee, and commenced a correspondence with that gentlemen upon the subject. The correspondence ran to the extent of 70 letters, sad in whisk (all of the letters being unknown to Mesas. Hedges) he endeavoured to destroy the coati lanes that Mr. Lee reposed in Mesas. Hedges, which ended in Mr. Lee transferring his banns' to other solicitors. About the period of the completion of the object that Mr. Blackstone had in view, he, in the month of hall o 1049, wrote the letter which was thi 'abject_ gutter of the libel sow complained of. There were the aMdavita of Mr. Leo, stating that he bad received all these communications from Mr. Meantime, and farther set Aral that he had discovered, since the business was taken from Messrs. Hedges, that his isoafidenos had been abased by Mr. Blackatose, and that he felt it due to these gentlemen to show them the letter emplaned of, which contained grave charges mama gent/eines who for many yeses had been solieritan in the town of Wallingford, and one of whom, the father, was at the present time town dark. Part of the letter in question related to private business, but Mr. Lee bad communicated all of it which related to Messes. Hedges. The learned Solicitor. Chaera here pro ceeded to read that put of the letter which coateised the alleged libel, which charged Messrs. Hedges with bag privy to a forgery, which it was said a tradesman of Wallsagford mama Owen had committed. The letter aka alleged that Meson. Hedges had eadeavoind to stifle the inquiry when it took pleas before the Mayor of Walliagtord a sad had wished to make the amount of bail which Owen had to Lind t u s e the nr l w ) i d w o o f lid nowce c z co p name d ibe: i t: Cox. otehuha:t di ll mb e ,.. ( 7 : i h ort h e so low that ►e might run away. The letter also alleged that It Mr. Hedges, senior, had made himself and Owen ext caters w w e it r h e on to make 8 ° o . ni Hedges, li n t e t e :t r e for a long series of yews. The will was made in the usual way, and it was by the with of Cox biinsell that Mr. Hedges and Owen were appointed executors and trustees to the will. Often had previously had pecuniary transactions with Cox, and Mr. Hedges after he wariappointed a trustee of the will came to lock into the accounts, and he found that Owen admitted that he owed the estate 1001. Mr. Hodges thought this sum was not correct, and ae therefore put him self in communication with the solicitors of the parties interested WWII( COI'S will in order that the matter might be inquired into. The matter was referred to arbitration. Mr. Blackstone was the arbitrator on the part of the parties interested under Ccxs will, and some one else acted for Owen. Upon the inquiry taking piece, Owen asserted that the original debt was 4521. 10s., that ►e had paid 3321 10.., thus reducing the amount to 100/., and he brought forward a book purporting to be 'Matti "S. Cur The bo .kcontained•two entries, one kr 2001., and the ,other for 100 i., and also one of 624 10.. ; before the words " S. Cot" the word " settled" was wri.tc.. Mr. Blackstone though. that this was a lorgery, end ae coroiogly came to the town eltrk, Mr. Hedges, see., and .cared the "di c4very." Owen being a respectable trades man, and being also the political opponent of Mr. Black stone, Mr. Hedges suggested that it had better be pro ceeded with on the following Monday, it then being a Saturday afternoon. Mr. Blackstone than said that he would return to Wallingford on Tuesday, when Owen could be arrested. This was agreed to, but on the sp ' p dowel day Mr. Blackstone did not ewer, and shortly afterwards Mr. gyre, a solicitor, call. d on Mr. Fledges, and it was arming. el that the matter should stand user until Tuesday, the 11th of May, when it was proposed that Mr. Blackstone should investigate the case at toe George Inn. Ins case was, however, heard before the mayor and the b.•rough justices, Mr. Blackstone, as county magistrate, being present. The major thought that Owen could not be committed, but after some discussion the advice of Mr Hedges was !allowed, and he was committed to mkt his trial fur a inisdenamaciar. He was tried at the ensuing assizes at Abingdon, and be proving that he paid the 3.311. 10s. into the binds of Mr Coes bankers he was erquitted. Under the circumstances he (.ho Solicitor- General) submitted that these gentlemen had been lib.iled by the imputation of having connived at a forgery and en deavoured to stifle inquiry. Lord Campbell asked when the Messrs. Hedges had become acquainted with the letter. Toe lolicitor•Oeueral replied that they had not been in formed of It until last month. The letter had been written for the purpose of ousting those,gentlanten from the arrange ment tea the affairs of Mr. Lee. Lord Csospbell—Y.Ju moitake a rule to show Now Rule nisi granted. BAIL COURT.—YEsTERDAY. IN BE °WIN WILLI.I3I,—MitiCODIDUCIr OP • MACiIbTIL•III. Mr. Watson, Q C., mused tor a criminal information against Caen Williams, lice of the justices of the peace for the county of Anglesta. The application wAs made at the instance of Lloyd, the high bailiff of the County Court, upon facts which, if substantiated, amounted to a gross attempt to use his authority as magistrate to pervert the course of justice. It appeared that uue Hugh Thomas had filed a petition is toe county court for protection, which had been discniss.d ; and in July judgment was signed against him for 161., upon which a writ of fie. fa. was issued and directed to Lloyd, and he went with it to Chomes'is house. He there found that certain things, and among them a horse and cart sad • cuw ' had been removed to William's house. The bailAf thereupon tot:owed the property, but was told by Wi.iiams that the articles belonged to him. The bailiff doubted the fact, but did not meths them. The execution was then withdrawn, but another writ was issued in September, and name into the high bailiff 'a ban fa,who wont to Thomas's home and levied. It was then anticipated that there would be a riot, and the bailiff Relocated the attendance of the constables. Upon thin Wi.l.anis interfered, and said that the bailiff had no right to the a,sittance of the constables, and it ended in their not ettetidiog. There was an &result and a resent, and upon this the high bailiff applied to Sir Richard Balloter fur a summons against Thomas and his wife, which waa greeted, and was to be heard at the Penton Arm,s Angles/a, on the 18th of November. On th at day Williams arrived there a few minutes before the high bailiff and his party, and upon their coming in produced an information filled up in his own handeritir g, purporting to be at the balance ot Thomas, and charging the high bailiff with an assault upon him. Williams and flit R Bulk,ley were the only justices present, and Williams then insisted upon having the information egainst the high bailiff disposed ot first ; bet it being °butted that there was no monthlong or warrant in that case, Waliams said, " l'ooh, pooh," and went out of the room, and returned shortly after, and the high bailiff was immediately served with a war. rant, and Williams then intisted upon his right as senior magistrate to have his case called on filet, but upon some further informalities being adverted to,Sir R. kluikeley refused to hear the case, upon which Williams said he would hear it himself. But upon being told that there must be two justices, he said he would have nothing to do with either. Sir It. Bolkeley then heard the other summons alone, under a pr...vision in the County Court Act that one justice may hear and adjuoicate upon the complaints of (Aiken of the court, and convicted the putiet. Up,n this Williams said that, after hearing the opinion ot Sir R. Bulkeley, he would not proceed wilt the other case, and accordingly he put the warrant into his pocket, and walled away.
