An adjourned meeting of tho exhibitots, who have been excluded from the building on the Ist of May, by the decision of the 'fusel Curumisaioners, was held on Saturday night, in the large room of the Trevor Arms, Kuiglitabridge, which was demely eruaded. H. E. Hoots, Esq., chair man of the committee, presided. The CHAIIINIAN have the honour to appear before you in COMplinnel, with your reailutiun of last e yell ing, and will briefly state what has occurred since. You are all aware that a letter was vent to the Royal Corarnis- Mourn to ask them to receive a deputation from the exhibitors, to which they sent a most gracious answer, which I shall read to you presently. 1 may, however, state that' Dime last evening I have visited most of the departments of this Great Industrial Exhibition of All Nationa, and there is hat one opiniou—(loud cheers)—there is but one opinion as to the illiberality of the conception. I don't speak of the thing fowl!, because I believe that It will never be carried into effeet—(gnait cbeeriul), but of the illiberality of the conception of exeluding exhibitors, and it has created a feeling among our foreign brethren of mistrust lest the same illibenelity might be earned out toward., them in other matter'. (Loud cries of " Hear.") That exclusive body, the Royal Ae.ulemy, who are accused of being the moot illiberal wait ty in Europe, never refused admission to the exhibitor.. (Chian.) ludeed, it in the custom of all 1 know in this country to admit those who contribute to the gratili cation of the public by the formation of the Exhibition; and it has been reserved to the Royal Commissioners of the Ex hibition of the Industry of All Nations to earn for themselves the European, 1 sus going to soy, but more properly speakin4 the universal and unenviable notoriety of most urgently entrauting the a huh' world to seed their prosier hues to this grand and glorious Exhibition, and then making a demand of three guineas before they will admit these very nu.n aho have so nobly sacrificial time and money to produce the great etfett. (( h eat applause.) 1 must gay that the C/111%4.1011 of the enlightened and enterprising, from the more distant countries, who, trusting to our cotn mou courtesy, and let me add, common honesty, have so proudly entered into this friendly and exciting contest — bean and soul as they appear to me to have duric—is not one of surprise merel), but of distant—(cheer') —sod they declare to me that it England behave in so illiberal a man ner. they will leave their goods covered, to show their disgust ; and who can blame them ? (Hear.) 1 will now simply state that, in compliance with your resolution, 1 sent the following note to the Royal Commis sioners, and hays been honoured by this reply, which 1 will read; and sure am I that when the illustrious Prince, whose gracious heart conceived the glorious object of uniting the industrious energies of peaceful men in this race of emulation--instead of horrible RIO devastating war—knows that it is the desire of the VI. hibitors to be person, and to witness the pleasure with which the nobles of the world-1 mean of mind a. well es of hereditary greatnessi—look ou our productions he wit at once request the odious rule to be cancelled ; an d when Mt respectful remonstrance . reaches his ears, there is little doubt that we shall ha ve free admission. Siner I came into the rmou, l have heard that the contributors from Austria, France, :11111 tiernmuy have only to sign their names to their mi certificates, and they will beat once adtted. 'the follow ing ia the letter thin was addresnal to the royal commis sioners: "My Lonla and Gentlemen,—At a numerous meeting of the exhibitors it was unanimously resolved that a deputa tion alsould be appointed to wait on the Royal Commis sioners, nspeetfully to urge upon them the justice of ad mittina the exhibiturs on the Ist of May end during the exhibition. As chairman of the committee 1 shall feel honoured by your appointing a meeting for to-morrow (Sa turday), the meeting standing adjourned to that day tai receive our report. 1 have the honour to be, de., " 11. E Chairman." The following Is the reply I received : " Sir.- -1 have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 2.ith instant, on the subject of the admission of the exhibitors on the let of May, and during the continuance of the ethibition, and 1 have to inform you that it will be nub- milted to the eommiasioners at their tint meeting, which will take place uu y !Nlonda next. 1 have the honour to be, &e., " EDUAU E. llowniNO." Mr. J. IsIINTORN moved, "'that in eonaequence of the Royal Commioionero not meeting till Monday, it is considered advisable by your coin- mitts , . to adjourn this meeting till the evening of that day, ' when they hope to be able to lay before you the answer of the Royal Conimi.aluas," Mr. IL HARVEY ...cornied the resolution, and said he was most anxious to impress upon all of them the import ant". of stauding together anti acting together. (Cheers.) Their foreign brethren had shown a proper sympathy with them in stating that thev would cover up their goods. (Cries of " ('aver them with black.") He felt satisfied that they were hoot anxious to ace the British exhibitors placed tin the same footing with themselves. Mr. MINTOILN raid it had been suggested, but he finned ut recommend it on , that the ex should not pennewith the works Monday until hibitors they obtained free admissions. Mr. ROBERTS, of Manchester, said he had just been in formed by a gentleman on his right that a meeting of the Austrian exhibitor had been held at Vienna, and it was then agreed that, rather than pay fur admisidou, they would remain out on the Ist of May. (Cheers.) Alter some conversation. The resolution was put and carried with unanimity. The CllA.litalAN said • paper had Iwo% put into his hands, which showed that there were seven thousand ex hibitors—that the value of the props rty exhibited was ten millions staling, and therefore tho overage value of the contributions of each was upwards of LION. (Loud Cheers) Thanks wry. , then voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing separated.

Mr. Bolton Corney was also busy with his important volume of notices of Shak speare and his winks, from the earliest period to the pub lication of the Meld twos Podarum.

A list of several works, in different states of preparation was then read, as also nu rous sugg:sted publication: ; the publication of these works would, however, materially depend on the funds at the dis posal of the society. The statement of accounti, showed that the receipts for the past year amounted to 2541. 10x Id. ; and the payments to 2211. 151. 101. ; leaving a balance in hand of the sem of 20/. 148. 3d.

DONALD FRASER, Esq., the senior churchwarden, occupied the chair. He said that the case in reference to the master, Mr. Eaton, and the girl Eliza Smith, had been again adjourned by the police magistrate till next Tuesday, atter going into a little further evidence. The magistrate, however, inadvertently threw out a hint that it was his in tention to scull the case to the fi1,5101111. Mr. M. TIM PSON said that whilst this charge was pending before the police magistrate, they ought out to keep the muster iu the house, and he therefore now moved " that he be suspended at once.

On Saturday afternoon Mr. Langhnrn, deputy coroner for Westminster, held an inquest in the hull of I.yeare lun, Newcastle-'street, Strand, on the body of James Tandin, Esq., aged 31, barrister-at-law. About WO legal friende of the deceased were present. Dr. Frederick Cobb, physician, of St. Helen's-oam said he had known deceased well fur many years, and that he lieed at 4, Paper-buildings, Temple, and was a barrister. The general state of his health was very good, and he was by no means of a desponding disposition. Witness had seen him alive about a week pine:, and his spirits were then very good, as usual. On Friday morning lost, about half past two o'clock, a friend requested him to go and Pee de e.n.seil, who was in King's College Hospital. He found him in a state that gave nu hopesof recovery,in consequence or severe fracture of the skull. Ile died at live minutes pest five the atom morning. lie was insensible during the while time witness was present. Mr. James Crowdy, solicitor, said he resided in Pondiess ter-terrace, Bayswater, and had known the deceased for the lust eight years. lie was , in his company on Thursday even ing last from hall-past six to hall-past ten o'clock. Dined with hint that reviling, and four other gentlemen, at Rich ardson's Hotel, Covent-garden. Deceased, to all appear ance, was in his usual state of health, and evinced nut the slightest symptom of despondency during the evening. They left the hotel together at ten o'clock, and walked to St. James's-square, where deceased wished witness to take ten or coffee with him at the Erechtheum Club-House.Wit nest declined, and they parted at half-past ten. A good deal of wine had been drunk during the evening. lie could not say how much, nor could he tell how much deceased had drunk. The latter was excited but certainly he was not drunk. llis conversation was quite rational, allowing for a little more gaiety in it than usual, though his natural disposition was very lively andcheerful. Nothing during the eve g whatever occurred to lead witness to suppose that deceased would destroy himself. Witness knew of no man more unlikely to do so. Mr. Peter Cunningham had known deceased for six years, and dined with him on Thursday evening, at Rich unison's lintel. When deceased lett he appeared cheerful and perMely sensible. Mr. J. ss :minds, solicitor, of Hereford, said that a little after 11 o'clock on Thursday night, he was coming out of No. 9, King's Bench-walk, Temple, nearly opposite to deceased's chambers. li,' heard a noise of something that had fallen on the other side of the square. Not having been looking in that direction he had seen nothing fall. lie had not crossed to the middle of the square benne he heard a fonale crying out, "Oh dear, sir, come here." Ile went up iminediettely, and the woman said, " Here's a gentleman who has just thrown hiinsi If out of the window." Witness then saw derewed lying on the stones of the steps, and nu immense pool of blood on the lower step. A broken walking-cane was beside hint, and his but hiss! rolled off.tout and fetched a poster, and then went up the stairs of deceased's chanther, and found a window that lighted the first and second landing spin. By a juror—The outer door of his chamber. was half open, and I judge he had been in them. There was a key in the door. The landing is on the second door, and the window was open from the top. Mr. (is inn, Cooper, superintendent of the Temple police, Said a watchman informed him that a man had fallen from a window. Witness went to the place indicated, examined the window, and found it open. There were no marks of struggling on the lauding. The inner door of deceased's chanioer was locked, the outer not. Witness should say that as d, ceased was running down from his chambers his foot slipped on the landing. and he fell through the window legs foremost. Mr. H. Macleod, barrister, lived in the top story of the same house as deceased. About half-past eleven mi Thurs.- day night he had just gone to bed, and thought he heard same one 'some upstairs; and immediately after he thought he heard two or three sounds of steps (louder than usual, and then he heard something ike the sound of a violent leap down stairs, and then immediately after that he heard what he thought a second leap. It appeared as if u man bad leaped down Hight of stairs in high spirits. Heard nothing else on the stairs. About a quarter of an hour afterwards he heard a number of persons speskine under his window, and through that he discovered that an aveident had happened. Ile had examined the landing, and saw on it, about nine inches from its edge, in the direction of the open window, marks of hats, as if some one h.td slipped. lie examined the spot outside where deecaeed had fallen, and found it seven fret from the perpendicular of the wall, showing that the party had shot out through the window with great velocity. The witness was decidedly of opinion that I when deceased jumped on the lauding, which was very slip pery, front having had a coat of whitewash, his bouts slipped. and he was sent legs foremost through the win dow. The stairs windows were often open by night. The Coroner summed up, and the jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of "Accidental Death," with a recoannindation to the benchers that windowe key situated to the one iu question should be LA . ..wally I guarded and secured against accidents. Mr. Macaulay, Q.O , said the recommendation of the jary had been already attended to by the benchers. Sine the accident, u friend of his having chambers in liareourts buildings. had told him that some time billet , be had slipped on his landing, and had very nearly passed through the whitlow. !lad that communication been made earlier, means would have been taken by the benchers to render all the windows secure.

In addition to these most distinguished persons, there are a large number of 'Turkish noblemen and gentlemen ; some of these utlicial funetim. lisries have charge of, or arc in some way or other con nected with, the good. for the Exhibition, while others arc individuals who have haft permission to take this opportu nity of visiting England and making the tour of Europe.

Ihe Thai Itaari oil Saturday morning dropped anchor off Ramble Cliff, in Southampton Water, about a mile below the United States frigate St. Lawrence, which brought over the American contributions to the Onset Ex hibition. immediately after she had anchoredshe was saluted by the guns of the St. Lawrence, which she returned; she then saluted the towu, which salutation was rexpouded to by the large platform batter) at the bottom of the nigh. street. As won as alie arrived the fact was announced by electric telegraph to Mr. Jourdoin, the Ottoman vice consul, who was in London, and to M. Zithrab, the Otto man cousulsgentral, who was in Manchester. Mr. Jour daM arrived in Southampton on Saturday, and M. %Mime yesterday. As soon a . she arrived the Ottoman Hag was hoisted on board the ships in the harbour, and in various parts of the town. Boats immediately put off to her from the Ottoman consulate and from the Southampton Docks. A aural officer in uoitiirin proceeded from tile Admiralty Office to lay his reap ects on board as the repre sentative of the British government. This officer took charge of and brought ashore despatches from the British embassy at Constantinople to Lord Palmerston which had been seat by the 'fetal Bawl. It being contrary to civic etiquette for the Mayor of Southampton to go on board the Ottoman frigate netore he had received a visit from the chief persons in command of her, his worship, as soon ILA the frigate had been saluted by the town, deputed three gentlemen, Mr. Deacon, the I town-clerk of the borough, Mr. Stebbing, a promiaent member of the Town Council, and Mr. Coulee, contorted with one of the public departments in the town, to go "'lto the steamer and offer the ser, kVA at his einummil to facili tate the comm unications of the distinguished persons on board with the shore or town. The deputation from the mayor having arrived alongside thu steamer sent up their etude to an officer, and were ad mitted on board. Turkish Illarilll, on guard in red coats were pacing about on the paddle-boxes. The deck appeared crowded with sailors, marines, officers, and passengers, many of the latter dewed pietureequely. The great majo rity of the countenances appeared Turkish. Amongst the eaiiont, however, there were some Ahysainian faces. In a few minutes a dragoman appeared un deck, and, aseertaiutel the object of the deputation, the gentlemen Seeming the latter were ushered with great reap, et below and into the saloon. This WULF ea rpettrd, and the fittings-upend fur. nature were remarkably elegant. The gentlemen were intro duced by the &eat/mutt to the anthawiador, M. Muourus, who appeared to be about forty years of age, with an intelligent Greek countenance, and a very pleasing :Ind vivacious mi dmost. ()emelt:din Pattie, a kinsman of the Ottoman Sul tan, soon tattered the saloon. He is about thirty-fise years of age, and one of the handsomest men in Turkey. Both the atutuetsador and tiemeledin Cache wore military frail coats and the Turkish fez. Inquiries were made of the deputation as to the rank of the Mayor of South:unit ton, and whether he was superior to the military com mandant. The Turkish authorities were intorantel that no military were stationed at Southampton, and that the mayor was the bilprelllC magistrate of the town, and only yia hied precedence to the queen. The gentlemen wen , in vited to sit on chair., and iu a few moments servants en tered with splendid orient ealuineft of immense le:lath, 1114.11 with lighted Turkish haute°. Each gentlemin was peastated with one. Round each tube was a ring d precious stone.; the bowl rested un the cur pet the mouthpieces were of amber, too large to be admitted into the mouth, the lips therefore merely bur- rounded the orifice from which the delicious vapour of the weed was drawn up. The alwence of Vice Admiral Mustaplia Pacha from the saloon was apologised for, ou the ground of ' fatigue. Ile was afterwards seen. Ile is a diminutive man, very plainly dread, between 40 and 50 yeah' of age. lie Ispeaks Etagli,h pretty well. While enjoying the calumet in the saloon M. Mussurus entered into an euimated wafters I station with the town clerk on our municipal institutions. He made inquiries 421 to the mode of election of mayors, aldermen, and common councilmen, and expressed himself I delighted with the explanation given him. Gentelediu Pack,' spoke of the Exhibition, and seemed eurpri.ed when I I informed of the spleuelid ceremony with which it wa, designed that the threat Exhibition should be inaugurated. Ile inquired as to the etiquette of visiting the mayor, and very willingly consented to comply with it in paying the first visit. On the departure of the deputation Gemeleilin Paella begged their acceptance of a present, according to eastern custom, and they were requested to convey to the Mayor of `Southampton the thanks of those on board fur his kind ness. They were then mieurted to the gangway by Captain Shamsi Bey and the officers of the ship, and assisted by them into their boat. The Collector of Customs, after noticing the arrival of the Teesi Wan, withdrew the Custom-house force from the steamer, out of compliment to the distinguished and privi leged person. on board, and also on account of the object of the visit of the war-steamer to this country. After a visit has been paid to the Mayor by the Turks, the Mayor will return the visit iu state, eseurted by the officers of the corporation, in their official robee, and et companied by the regalia of the corporation, the symbols of his hulk as chief magistrate of the town and admiral of the port, when un address will be delivered to the Vice-Admi ral, welcoming hint and his distinguished companions to , Southampton, and expressive of the respect and veneration for the many virtues of the Turkish character and ration. Every effort will be made to get out the goods ha the Exhibition from the frigate on Monday. It is expectid that she will go from hence to Weedwieh. It appear. that that was her destination when she left Constantinople, but orders were received at Gibraltar for her to land her goods at Southampton, as they would reach London quicker 'I that means than by any other. SUNDAY, 3 P. 31. The Turkish Ambassador, his family, and suite, have just landed at the Docks, in a number of boats bearing the Turkish Hag, amidst a crowd of people, and have proceinhd , to I.oaUtla by a special train. Ilia EleeUeney Vf:l4 saluted aahe left the frigate by a salvo of artillery. VISITORS AND SEASON TICKETS.—A double row of seats, covered with crimson calico, is being constructed along the whole length of the nave for the accomunslatisu of the lathes who will be present. (The gentlemen, it is understood, will stand behind.) It is estimated that in this way about 6,000 lIVINOU.4 can be acconnuodatt.sl with seats, and, as there will be no choke allowed, the earliest arrivals will secure the best places. There appears to be a gcn-ral feeling of satisfaction at the intimation given on Saturday morning that the price of all season tickets will he redo ed to the original sum, and that those who had paid the extra charge would have the dithrence refunded. The demand for season tickets at the Exhibition on Saturday was so great that before tire o'clock all the holies' tickets wee; di. towed of, and it was intimated that no further supply could be obtained before Tuesday next. THE PRINCE OT WALEN, MODEL FRIGATE., Was ! launched from the mast-house, Woolwich, on Saturday'! forenoon, and remained during the day at the mooriiii.* of the Mack Eagle steam %OS% I, in the ricer, as the 31unk, y ' steam vessel, ordered to tow the frigate up the ries r to the Tower, did not return front Sheerness until a late hour. The Monkey hod her steam up nt an early hour to-day, and started for London at ten minutes past six o'clock, am., with the model frigate in tow ; and it was intended to take the Prince of Wales frigate ou shore at Messrs. Cubitt's wharf, and convey it on rollers across to the S. 1.- 1 pentine, in Hyde-park, where the Woolwich Dockyard riggers will put up her =me, and rigging. The Monkey also conveyed a package from Sheerness for the Exhibition.

THE RE-OPENING OF LONDON BRIDGE.—It is dc- I finitively arrangol by the committee that the re-opening of London Bridge for general traffic shall take place on , Tuesday next. The paling of the bridge has been tom- pleted since Thursday last, hut the approaches, namely, King William street, City, and Duke-street, Southwark, are undergoing a similar proetsa. A large number of work men have been employed early and late, so that so delay may take place. Carriages from the City aide are, of course, allowed to pass over the bridge. TREATMENT OF PATIENTS IN BETIILEM HOSPITAL. On Friday an inquiry was commenced at Bethlem Hospital as to the circumstances of a charge of ill-treat ment of a patient confined in that establishment. The patient, a girl 20 years of age, was the daughter of very respectable parents, residing in Waliteral, and was admitted into the hospital on the Ith of April, suffering under symptoms of cerebral disease, tending to mania. She was then a little thinner than during her ordinary state of health, had an average amount of flesh, and had no wound or abrasion of the skin on any part of her body. The father who took her to the hospital, was told he could not hear of her within eight days. On the eighth day he went to the hospital, and was told, " She was better, and was taking her food better." A few days after wards he beard something which led him to be lieve she was worse, and on the 18th he wrote to the hospital, receiving an answer on the tame day . to the effect that he had better fetch her away. Ile did so mime diately. The peer girl was in an awful state ; her bones nearly protruding through her skin, and she had several wounds on her body. On inquiry being made those wounds were accounted for in various ways. On the 21st the poor girl died. A past mortem examination was held, and it was found that the immediate cause of death was disease of the bruin. Before she died, and whilst perfectly sane and col lected (which is attested by the surgeon and clergyman who attended her) she said she had been beaten by a woman. The father, not being at all satisfied as to the treatment his daughter had received, and, acting under advice, wrote to Sir Peter Laurie, one of the governors of the hospital, who romptly replied " That the matter should be' immediately &against into," and accordingly the father received a notice to attend a board of governors with his witnesses on Friday. The investigation was private, but the billowing particulars of what took place may be relied upon as correct : The father of the girl having stated the circumstances which induced him to make the charge of cruelty and neglect against the servants of the hospital, called his wit nesses, who spoke as to the state of the deceased girl upon ' her coming out of the hospital contrasted with her State when admitted. The evidence of the family medical attendant fully sustained the statement given above as re gards the young girl's appearance when she went into the hospital, and her altered and injured state when she came out. She had a wound on the right side of the nose and one on the upper lip (said to have been caused by the pa tient being fed out of a broken cup.) There was another wound on the right cheek. On the right elbow there were several wounds or abrasions ; on both hips there were also several similar wounds ; on the knees and on the outer side of the legs were some small wounds of the same character ; also on each ancle there were wounds. These wounds, as already stated, were variously accounted for. The matron considered they had been caused by the cut cods and rough portions of the straw on which the patient had lain. Sir Alexander Morrison, of the hospital, considered they were produced by the patient kuucking herself about. Dr. Wood (also of the hospital), who was present at the post mortess exanination, was of opinion they were self inflicted, by pricking. The patient was confined in the basement of the building, and the matron, im being asked if she ever visited the ' rooms in this p art, said, " No." She also said she was not aware of the girl's laying any wounds upon her person, and no report was made to her upon the subject, and she repeated the statement as to the broken cup with which the patient was fed, but could assign no satisfactory reason for such a thing being used. Four female keepers who were examined contradicted l each other on important points, but all agreed that they saw no wound upot the girl, although they had several times undressed her and put her in the bath. They differed as to the days and number of times she was put in the bath. Seine said she wore her own clothes, and others were as positive she wore the clothes of the hospital. It further ap peared there was no tell-tale clock (for the purpose of re gistering the number of visits paid by the night nurse) in the room in which the girl was confined, and that she lay upon straw. Oa the other hand, the testimony of the medi cal gentlemen puts the existence of wounds beyond a doubt. 'I he evidence having been heatd, a resolution was passed to the effect that in future a report be made to the matron and surgeon by the keepers immediately on the appearance of any bruise or wound, on pain of dismissal. The father was told by the board that it was a very proper ease for in vestigation, and the proceedings, for the present, termi nated. The father of the girl states that he is perfectly sa tisfied with the way in which the inquiry was conducted, and that he received the greatest tfindneei and atten tion from the board mad the officers of the institution. The affair has created a great sensation in the neighbourhood. SECESSIONS FROM TILE CHURCH AT llULL.—An other of the curates of the High Church of Dull, the Rev. Thomas Dykes, has publicly announced his resignation , on the same grounds as those stated by his late coadjutor, Mr. llarff. Mr. Dykes says that he entertains " doubts," and will not again minister until those doubts arc removed. TILE POPULATION OF THE BOROUGH OF PORTS xocre, as ascertained by the census, is 67,036, being an in crease since 1841 of 14,706. Includ ing Oosport, the entire population of the port is now 83,389. «•ARRINOTON MURDER. EXECUTION OF PATRICK LYONS FOR THE On Saturday at noon the extreme sentence of the law was carried out in the case of this wretched man. Ti e scene of the execution was the usual place at the north western corner of liirkdale Gaol. Early in the morning crowds of people were to be seen wending their way to the placeof ear , ution ; and some thus before the hour of mat there could not be less than front 15,000 to 20,000 present. Precisely at 12 o'clock the culprit. accompanied by Caleraft, the executioner, the Rev. J. 11. Marshall, and the Rev. J. Egan, Roman catholic priests fhis spiritual instructor.), the ender•Sherilf, and the dif erent officers in attendance, came forward upon the plat form. Ile stepped to the front of the piatliirtn with unusual firmness, and looking upon the audience with a smile upon his countenance, bowed to them repeatedly. On the execu tioner proceeding to draw the cap over his face, ilex culpri: said to him: •• Do not pull it over nay face yet; I wish tt, speak to the crowd." Calm-aft then rained the cap again, on which the miserable wretch, still sittidng upon the crowd, and again repeatedly bowing, addressed them as follows, manila sting, during tile delivery of his address, the most extraordinary self-possession:—•• Dear bretli• run, I tun sorry for what I have done. I confess to the Almighty Goal, and before you all to-day, that 1 am guilty of this murder, anal I firmly believe that my rot wife is innocent—innocent us a child. Lord have mercy oat me. Here is the hands that has done the murder; here is the body that has committed the sin. I thank Gal that MU withal; to surfer; but my suffering is nothing. lam willing to be nailed to a tree. lam willing to be dragged betwasai four horses. lam willing to put me into fire and to burn me to ashes, for the sake of my soul, heltase I km as I was tilting wrong.

My altar Christians, learn to Ire wise in this world. ; We are here to-day, and gunetoduorrow." "- • The apparent coolness and the extraordinary solidity in dicated by the countenance of the culprit seemed com pletely to :imam and astonish the crowd who were looking on, and the nerve which he displayed was the kUbikVi. Ut universal renurk among the bystanders. His bows and smiles were all indicative of a feeling that he was receiving the congratulations of his friends, and presented a contrast to the ke'ings in.•pired by his address, which it was never our lot to witness before. It is umkrstood, however, that !a. was truly penitent. After the eundmion of his address, the cap was drawn over his fare, and in a few moments afterwards the unhappy mum was launched into eternity. After the execution the rev. gentlemen attending upon the prisoner expressed a strong opinion that he was truly penitent, and stated that he lost frequently in conversations with them attributed the crime he had committed to the neglect of his religious duties. It is not yet known what will be done with the prisoner's wife, but the general impression here is that she will be Raba lattelligenti. EQUITY COURTS.-SATURDAY. Ewa= in Uaain or =a Roca IN RE lIALL'I4 CHARITY. This was a petition for a scheme to settle the proportions in which cortain property belonging to a charity, called Hall's Charity, should be distributed. The charity was established in the tenth year of the reign of Queen Elisa beth by Edward Hall, a resident in the parish of Upton-on- Severn, in the county of Worcester, who enfeotfed trustees with certain messuages, ote., in the above parish and else where, for the purpose of repairing the parish church, and for the purpose of repairingthe bridge of Uptomon-Severn, old for other necessary things to be done in the parish from time to time. The fund is of the value of about 901. a year, and has been applied by the trustees on the trusts, but since 1839 no port of it was applied for the repair of the bridge. A petition was therefore presented, asking the court to direct one-half of the fund to he paid to the magis trates of the county of Worcester, and so much of the other half also as was nut wanted for the repairs of the church, to be accumulated to form a fund to rebuild the bridge, which is now much dilapidated, and for a reference to the Master to settle a scheme. Mr. Itoupell and Mr. Amphlett for the petition. Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Young for the trustees opposed it, contending that the trustees had a discretion in the appli cation. The Master of the Rolls said he would look into the papers before giving his opinion. &JAMS Viet,CHAwcKune Kmonv Parc% Ix Ith THE WORCESTtiIt CORtx EXCHANGP.. This was a petition for an order of retbrence for winding up of the affairs of the above company. Mr. Smythe, for the petitioner, stated that a preliminary inquiry had taken place before the Master as to the pro priety of winding up the affairs of the company. rho Master thought it was a case fur winding up the coneern. One difficulty was. that there had been no advertisement of the preliminary order of reference, as required by the act of 1804; but, it was thought by the Master that the adver tisement was nut necessary, in consequence of the Itith het lion of the Winding-up Act of 1319, which rendered such ailvertistments unnecessary. Mr. Bagshawc appeared for the secretary, and consented to the order prayed. • His Honour considered that if the Master had expressed his satisfaction on the question of the necessity of advertise ments, be could safely accede to the prayer of the petition. The order was tu n ic accordingly. trronK Loup CIANIROFIn (vier. rn ofert.tnal. r. con AN IN JUNCTION TO UESTILAIN INTEUITIIENCE WITH A WATEI4- cornse. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the de fend int from cresting any water mill on a stream caned the Park Hall Rivulet, near Longton, in Staffordshire, within the limits of that pert of a piece of ground called the Anchor Ground, which had been purchased by the defendant, and Irvin using or permitting to be used any of the water of the rivulet running within tho aforesaid limits for the purpose of supplying or working any mill or engine of any description, and from building any culvert, or otherwise enclosing the rivulet, and from eorertetine. earnovitie, or interfieing with the watercourse, and from doing any act to interfere with the right of the plaintiff to cleanse the said rivulet. Mr. Stuart and Mr. Amphlett appeared in support of the motion, and stated diet the plaintiff was the owner of a mill upon the Park Hull Rivulet. lie derived hie title to the land upon which it was built from Sir John ileatlente, under a conveyanee in which there was a covenant on the pert of Sir John ileatheute that he would nut obstruct the water by making plods, dame, or weirs, or otherwise within halt a mile either above or below the plaintif f s mill. That the defendant had since purchased a piece of land in the Anchor grounds near to the mill of the plaintiff from a descendant of Sir John lit•atheote, and intended to erect a steam mill, anti to construct a culvert of such width that the stream would he narrowed, anti the water which was at present only just sufheitnt fur the plaint itr. use would be rendered deficient, and would therefore caner an injury to the plaintiff. It was also contended that the construc tion of a culvert would interfere with the plaintiff's right of elenn.ing and opening the pools and ditches in the Anchor Mr. Rolt anti Mr. l'earson for the defendant econtended that the culvert intended to be built by hint would nut in terfere with any use the plaintiff could make of the stream, and that it would be quite as catty to cleanse the culvert as the rivulet. It was submitted moreover that Sir John ileatheote had no power to grant the use of the water flowing over any laud which was not actually conveyed to the plaintiff, anti that such a clause was contrary to public policy. bird Cranworth said he would reserve his judgment, but he would state his opinion as to two or three points. Ile thought there woe great foree in the argument that the clanee soeurine to the plaintiff the use of the water was against public policy. It never could be permitted that a man should bs' able for all time to come to grout the use of water running over other hands in his possession so as to I prevent any one else front having the enjoyment of it. this appeared to result front the provision respecting half a mile on either side of the plaintiffs mill, which would have the effect of giving him a monopoly. The conveyance included a grunt of the stream. The meaning of this he did wit quite understand ; he doubted whether any man had power to give a right to the we: of water running over land more than he had of granting a right to the air. Ilis lordship recollected a curious case with regard to this subject. An action of trespass was brought against a person who swung itimeelf over the pleintiffs ground out rat his own window, for the purpose of pulling deem a sign board. The learned judge who decided the case said it was only an interference with the superincumbent column of air, and could not be held to be a trespass. There was another question, however, in this ease, as to whether there was not a good grant of an easement that the plainti ff might be at liberty, at all times , to go on the Anchor. ground for the purpose of opening and cleansing the There was a contradiction in the evidence übout the facility of going through the culvert to cleanse the stream, and he should have to consider whether the narrow ing of the stream by means of the culvert was not ass inter • terenee with the plaintif f s rights. Judgment reserved. COURT OF QUEEN'SBENCII—SATt•RDAY. SITTI76II 1.• BANCO. 111.711L1t MIL. JII,TILS PAITWON, NS. JURY= VrnuTYAN,AND Ma. Jtorrnm THE QUEEN T. THE RYAN AND CHAPTER. OP ROCHES -. TER.—THE ROCHY.TF.IL GILAMMAIL SCHOOL. In this rase a rule had been obtained by the Rey. Robert Whiston 14 a mandamus, culling upon the than and Chap ter of Rochester to show cause why a writ of efasulamus should not i sue, canneauding them to reiwtate him as Head Master sf the Oramm it Schwa of !Oche:ter. That rule had been wale absolute, in order that a !alum to the mandamus might he made, and the matter argued upon this return. The writ stated that the Rev. Robert Whidota had been elected the Read Master of tiro Grainatar :idiom, that he had properly conducted himself in that capacity, but that the dean and chapter had removed him. To this the dean and chapter made a return, and stated that Henry being seized in fee, by letters patent, dated 20th June, in the 30th year of his reign, founded and endowed the cathedral church of Rochester, and on the 30th June, in the 3Gth year of his reign, or dained certain rule. and statutes for the government of the said cathedral. The return then act out all these statutes verbatim, and then averred that hi those about,. the Bishop of Rochester was visitor of the and cathedral church ; that the said Robert Whiston was elected to the althea• of head mader in conformity with those statutes; that the Right It , v. Ih. Murray was the preo'nt bishop; and that the naid Itohert Whiston having been removed fur a lawful MUSE', had not appealed to the bishop, and the dean and chapter therefore submitted to the court that they ought not to be called upon to give any other or further answer. To this return there were three pleas in bar. First, that the cause of removal was not a lawful cause. Secondly, as to so much of the return as stated that the add Raised Wheaton had not appealed to the hi-hop, that he was renewed for writing a certain pamphlet, and that in that pamphlet the Bishop of Rochester was mentioned, and that the pamphlet was written with the intention of imputing to the said bishop a knowledge of the misapplieation by the Dean and Chapter of Rochester of the fowl; vested in them, and that thereliwe the bishop had so much interest in the subject matter of the Call, of removal ; that he the said Robert Whistim was not obliged to appeal to the said bishop under the statutes. The third plea stated that the said Robert Whiston was eh dial to the heatamastership in the year 1442, that he hail properly conducted himself therein, and was not unfit for the office; but that he had insisted on further allowance and alimony for the scholars; and th at he had applied to the bishop , as visit or, t o call upon the dean and chapter to allow such further allow ance. That the bishop refused to enter intothe matter. And that thereupon he published a pamphlet, entitled "Cathe dralTrusta and their Fulfilment." The plea than set out this pamphlet verbatim, and alleged the allegations therein to be true. The plea then alleged that many of the offices required by the statutes of the cathedral to lie filled up were not filled. That there were no deacon., no " barbi tensor," or cook for the echoul. That the dean and chapter, by deed poll, dated June, 11319, removed the said Robert Whiston without any iuquiry, and that un the 11th August, 1819, they reinstated him, awl afterwards again determined that lie should be removed. The plea then Met out verba tim another deed poll, under the seal of the dean and chap ter, for the removal of the and Robert Whiston, and alleged that the deed contained no other cause of removal but the writing of tho said pamphlet. To these pleas the dean and chapter demurred, and on the demurrer the case came on for argument. Sir Fitzroy Kelly (Mr. Cowling with him) now contended for the dean and chapter that, as it olafeffn- 4 upon the record itself that there was a visitor, to him, and to him alone, the appeal lies, and that their was no concur rentjuriadiction in that court; this was clear upon principle and upon authority; and all that that court could iim W:Lntl3 compel the visitor by mandamus to ente r u p on the in q uiry if he refus , d so to do. That although it hail been thought necessary by both aides to put all the statutes upon the record, 'the real question nevertheless was contained in a very nartowcompass. That it would he no part of his duty (at all events ut the pr esent sta g e of the argument ) to g w o h i i i c t tho the e e itrpagdphtlheotugfohrt it their duty ofth remove Mr. Whiaton front his office. The facts were, that a Whiston led to proceediuga in . Chancery, upon which . . was reinstated. An inquiry' then took place, and another they first removed . hie . , without any formal inquiry: this dismissal was the resu.t. It is allaged by Mr. Whiston d " e n an t' a n n t' d o c f ha t that the dismissal was for this pamphlet alone, nod that that was no sufficient cause; but whether there be a suffi cient cause or not is iminat:rial—his remedy was by appli cation to the visitor, anti not to this court. There were not IRELAND. APUIL The requisition for the "aggregate meeting of the catholics of Ireland," to be held on Tuesday next. has made its appearance, and presents a formidable array of names, at least in point of number. It is headed by three of the four Roman catholic arch bishop, and eighteen of the bishops, and contains the signatures of a great number of the Roman catholic clergy ; but the effort has been made to give the pre ponderance to the laity. I understand that the reso lotions to be proposed at the meeting will not go the length of calling on the Irish meinlx.ris to vote against Lord John Russell's government on every question, and will amount to little more than a strong vote of want of confidence in the whi n , ' govern ment in general, with, of course, a most explicit con demnation of the anti-papal measures. A painful sensation has been created Ly the dia -1 holiest attempt to murder a gentleman named Billing, which was perpetrated on AVednesday evening in a intherto peaceable district of the county of West meath. A local journal gives the following details: On Wednesday about one o'clock, pin., Mts. Busby, accompanied by a lady and her nephew, Mr. Billing, were proceeding on a jaunting-ear to Billuran, and when within a few miles of that town, and nut fur trout lirackffn, two men with their faC.Ol blackened, sod handlierchiels tied over their heads, the better to conceal their ttures, sud denly sprang into the road, one of them seined with a cudgel, and the other with a blunderbuss. One of the fel low+ caught hold of the horse and the other walked up deliberately to the side of the ear on which Mr. Billing sat, placed the muzzle of the blunderbuss against that gentleman's breast and pulled the trigger. 1110 blunder buss missed lire, upon which Mr. Billing seized it by the barrel, and in the struggle which ensued was dragged off the or. Ile still, however, retained his hold of the weapon, and had almost overpowered the assassin, when the other villain left the horse, and hastening to the as sistance of his companion, struck Mr. Billing a severe blow with a bludgeon on the back of the head, which stunned the unfortunate gentleman SO much that he was obliged to let go his hold, upon which the fel low again levelled the blunderbuss, and discharged it within three feet of Mr. Billing's person, lodging the con tents in the unfortunate gentleman's side. The whole transaction was but the work of a few minutes, nail the servant who drove the car was so bewildered bribe sudden ness of the attack that he could make no effort to assist Mr. Billing, and remained on the car until the unhappy gentle man was left weltering in his blood upon the road. After the shot was tired the murderers decamped, and a third party, who had not made his appearance previously, was I seen to issue from a part of the hedge on the road-ide,where he had been concealed, evidently watching the work of murder. Mr. Billing was instantly conveyed home, and • Dr. J. Ferguson, our excellent county surgeon, immediately sent for, who was promptly in attendance, and rendered the sufferer every assistance. From 11 to 20 large leaden slugs were lodged in Mr. Billing 's side, some of which were extracted by Dr. Ferguson, but such is the dangerous na ture of his wounds that very slight hopes are entertained of his recovery. The district in which this desperate outrage occurred has been long considered one of the west Un proved and peaceable in the county Westmeath, and the circumstances which led to the horrible occurrence are en veloped in complete mystery, unless that a rumour of Miss Busby having appointed her nephew agent over her estate in that neighbourhood may have indueedithe parties to per petrate it. 'the Banner of Ulster says: "On Tuesday last, the '22nd inst., the poor law guardians of the New townards Union held a special meeting, of which due notice had been given beforehand, and, nt this meeting, Sir W. Somerville's new Valuation Bill was taken into consideration. The result was the unanimous adoption of a petition to the house of Commons, in reference to the inequalities and ano malies of the proposed measure, together with an earnest appeal for their correction."

The wording of that part of the order re garding the aecommodatiuu unfortunately left it in the power of the commanding officer to evade its main ' object. Under such eircumsUunes it was hardly reason able to expect a liberal or even a just interpretation of ' the order trout men who had systematically opposed the claims of the assistant-surgeon. The result has been just what might have been expected. The assistant surgeons are but too frequently told that there is no room for accommodation fur them, and in many Cases where the cabins are granted they are told that they must give them up in the event of a superuuwary lieutenant joining the ship, and this in direct various with her Ma jesty's printed instructions, which provide that no officer borne on the strength of a ship shall be displaced from his allotted accommodation by any supernumerary. Tu this unwise and ungenerous system of opposition there are, how lever, some highly honourable exception.. In a frigate of 50 guns, with an admiral and all his retinue on board, space is found for cabins for both assistant-surgeons, a fart which fully realises what Mr. Home said when wand of space WAS urged against granting cabins to those officer,,—" where there's a will there's a way . ." With this ease before us, when we are told that a,sistant-surgeons of ships-of-the line, not flag-ships, are refused cabin, on the plea of " nu room," we can easily understand how far the sympathies of commanding officers with assistant-surgeons extend. Nothing short of a peremptory order to provide cabin accommodation ; for assistant-surgeons, from the moment they enter the; naval service, can ever stay the present discontent, or na,et the requirements of the public service.
