BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION AND Atirteu.—Yesterday evening a meeting of the board of directors of the above institution was hold in Patent:ober row. The report stated that the satiety's progress was encouraging and satisfactory. The applicants for relief have been extended to a greater number and variety than in any preceding year, but, notwithstanding the large calls upon the funds, they have been able to add tothe permanent fund, which now reached 16,0001. The " Retreat, for the recep tion of aged and infirm members, was opened in July last year (on which OCCASi et 8401• was collected, increased since by a bequest of 6001.

LAMBETH PENSION SOCIETT.—nis praiseworthy institution, whose object, the granting of permanent pen sions to aged and decayed, housekeepers of Lambeth, has been alluded to, and whose proceedings have been recorded in the Erpress, held its annual dinner yesterday, at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, It, Forrest, Esq., the treasurer, acting as president for the woolen. About eighty of the leading members of the society, including Me. C. Pearson, the new member for the borough ; the Rev. C. B. Dalton, the rector, and the majority of the clergy of Lambeth parish, and several of the county magistrates, were present. Tne eiotoreary tribute having been paid to loyalty and patriotism, the " Health of the Patrons of the society, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Winchester," was given and drunk with due honours. The chairman next proposed the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Lambeth Pension Society," and in doing so stated that this institution was an offshoot of the City of London Pension Society, the Lambeth members of which, finding it impos sible to get their own candidates placed on the list of the charity, determined, in the year 1826, upon instituting a so ciety of their own. The great object of the institution was to excite a feeling of self-dependence in those whom adverse circumstances might in their old age reduce to poverty, and to induce them to avoid the appeal to the work house. So for had they been successful that of the whole amber who liad been recipienta of the charity, two only had applied fur or obtained parochial re lief. For some time the expenses of the society had far ex ceeded its income, and then—that was up to the year 1845 it was due to the Walcott Charity to say that they had come in and relieved the Lambeth Pension Society of forty-thus pensioners. Since that time the prospects of the society had been improving ; and he was happy to inform them that a legacy of 1,0001., which hut been left by a Miss Smith of that pariah, would be shortly added to the funds.—The list of subscriptions for the day was then read, which included a life subscription of 51. ss. from Mr. C. Pearson, M.P. ; 51.55. from the Rev. C. Kemble; 51. ss. from Mr. S. F. Young, dc. The health!, of the clergy of the parish, the members for the county and the borough, the magistrates of the county, and the officers of the society, were subsequently given and duly responded to. AN EXILIBITION.—Yesterday at a meeting of the Worshipful Company of Cutlery, an exhibition to the University of Oxford, in the gift of the company, was de dared vacant, and a resolution passed to submit it to public competition ; all candidates to declare themselves before Jan. 18, 1848, and the election to take place in February. LNQUF.STS, YESTERDAY.—CHARGE OF WILFUL Mvnnoa AGAINST A BOY.—Before Mr. Baker, resumed for the sixth lime, at the Committee-rooms, Church-street, Hackney, as to the death of Mr. Samuel Helene, a gentleman of fortune, resident is Grove-place, Hackney. Mr. Hellen tine attended as before, on behalf of the grandson of the de ceased, Wm. Allnutt, who stands committed on a charge of haviog stolen the decessed's gold watch and other property. —Mrs. Allnutt, the daughter of the deceased and mother of Wm. Allnutt, deposed to having lived with her father and mother-in-law since the death of her husband, teat Septem ber two years. Her third son, Wm. Allnutt, lived with them. For eight or nine months witness had observed a great de viation on his part from a proper line of conduct. She could make no impression upon him as upon her other children. In September last he bought a pistol, with percussion caps and powder. He told witness that a man whom he met in the street had persuaded him to purchase it. When the de ceased was tired at in his garden the boy was charged with it, but he said he had not then got the pistol; that he had given it the day before to the man who advised him to buy it. The pistol was subsequently found wrapped up, lying among the grass in the garden. Witness believed her son was aware of the: deadly properties of arsenic. and that be could have obtained access to the bureau in which deceased kept some of that poison. Witness further described her father's first falling sick alter taking some gruel, and corroborated at length the evidence given by her mother-in-law at the last sitting of the jury, touching the less of the sovereigns before the death of the deceased, and the watch and other property after that event. Mrs. Allnutt added that her sou had been subject to walking in his sleep, and he sometimes complained of hearing voices in his head. —ln reply to Mr. Ballantine, the witness said her husband died two yearn last September, having been subject for two years previously to epileptic fits. He was never placed under restraint, but he died quite insane.—ln answer to a juror, Mrs. Allnutt said she did not suspect any of the deceased's servants to have administered arsenic to her father. Be lieved her eon had said that he thought his grandfather would die suddenly.—Mr. Superintendent Waller being re called, said : When he took the boy William Allautt into custody on a charge of stealing the watch, he said, " Pray forgive me —I was tempted to do it." I asked him who bad tempted him. He said no person : some voice had appeared to him and said, " Do it, do it; you will never be found out."— The Coroner charged the jury on the whole case, comment ing at length on the circumstances, and quoting from " Ray's Medical Jurisprudence" various cases of moral mania,wher• a propensity todestroy formed an unaccountable desire even in young persons. lie did not think, looking et all the evi dence, there could be much doubt that the arsenic had been mixed with the sugar by the boy Win. Admin. After read ing over the whole of the evidence, the jury, after half an hour's consultation, returned into court with the folilow lag verdict: "We, the jury, are unanimously of opinion that the late Mr. Samuel Nelme came by his death by partaking of arsenic in sugar, which arsenic had been feloniously mixed therein by W. N. Allman, spinet whom we find a verdict of "Wilful murder."— DEATII CALSED BY A FALSH ACCUSATION.—Befor• Bedford, at the Charing-cross Hospital, as to the death of Henry Wilkins, aged 40, an omnibus conductor. Mr. Bibles, of Cecil-court, St. Martin's-lane, stated that on Sunday, as he was coming front Poplar in an omnibus, be noticed a cape on the back of the conductor which a friend of his of the name of Bent had loot some time before. He applied at Somerset-house, and found a notice had been left of it there, and it was arranged that he and Mr. Bent should meet the coaches at Channterose, when, the colic* being informed of the circumstance, witness! and Mr. Benteez the roof, and there they saw the cope. Mr. Bent t eaed to give the driver and conductor into custody. Mr. Bent, however, having got the cape, they walked av,. when the deceased (the coaducter) staggered and toW and had apparently burst a blood-vessel.-411c. Geer. Bent, of '2l, Great May's-buildings, who sketwilual himself as a gentleman of property, gave the HEW moult of the matter, and said, although he threatened to give him into custody, he did not, and had offered le. 61. to any one who would return the cape to Poplar.—A solicitor, who at tended for the widow, said he could prove that the was wholly unfounded, and that the deceased was = conductor when the cape was lost.—Hittingsle, the comb man, said the cape was carried about in order to return it to Mr. Bent, as he had not left word where to leave it, and that neither he nor the deceased were on the omnibus when the cape was lost. A threat was made to give them both into custody on Tuesday, but the police would not take the charge.—The deceased was dead when taken to the hospital, and from a subseq uent , examination it was evident it arose from aneurism of the aorta.—The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased died from a rupture of an aneurism of the aorta, accelerated by excitement; and the jury are also unanimous) y of opinion that the charge against the deceased was groundlw." WRECK OF THE STEPHEN WHITNEY. TILE FOLLOWING STATEMENT OP ONE OP THE SOILVIVORB, W. 6)(ITII, IMMO, from Baltimore, has been Published : The Stephen Whitney, Capt. Popham, left New York on the 18th of last month. She was advertised to sail on the 14th, bat we did not sail till four days after. The crew con sisted of the captain and three mates, steward, two cooks, two stewardesses, a doctor, twenty-two men, and two boys. There were, besides, seventy-six passenger!—six in the after cabin, seven in the second cabin, and sixty-three in the 'temp. I wee one of the crew. We had very good wea ther tall Monday last, that is two days before the wreck. It was then thick and hazy, with rain, and the wind was high. On Tuesday and Wednesday I might call it stormy, for we were under close-reefed sails. On Wednesday . at two o'clock the captain supposed that we were puma the Cape. At half-past nine that night we saw a light (Creokhaven light). We thought that it was the Old Head of Kinsale. We had passed the light ten or fifteen minutes when the ship struck. ' Land " was sung out, as soon as it was seen, and immediately the helm was put hard-sport, and all hands called on deck; I ran on deck, but she struck before I could get up. The captain was on deck then. The captain and mate took the light we had seen for the Old Head of Kinsale ; we did not see the Cape light in wnaauenos of the fog; it was covered with it. A few minutes alter striking she went down. We had all the necessary boats : we had a long boat, two whale boats, and a life boat; but there wee no time to get them down. The stern boat was cut by the captain's orders, and dropped. A man got into her to try to get a line on to the rocks, in order to save some of the people, but she was swamped before any one sloe could get Into ker. The vessel did not go on her bow. They put the helm down, and she missed stays ; she stewed around, and her star board side struck the rock. She gave three heavy rolls then, and at the third roll the main-mast went over the side—the larboard side went out with it. When the aide went, the bales of cotton fell out, and some of the people, thinking they were the rocks , jumped on them and were drowned. The captain was one of them, and one of the passengers named M'Clexkey, who had 270 Porereigns in a belt round his body, was another ; I sad a lot more woe oa • pies of the star. board quarter, abreast of the minus chains. It was washed by the waves ea the rock, and wejamped off of it. There were at 20 of Is on it, end 18 were saved. There was nobody waved but thine that were on the starboard quarter. The way we were saved was this :—A very heavy Ma washed us on the reek, and we jumped off, many of us without getting oar feet wet. The next sea swept the timber to , rftwe. We then crept up the rock till we felt the grew our feet, and then sat down. There was • trance in the ground with water in it—we tested that end found it fresh. We thought to remain there all night, and hallooodes loud u we could, so that if any more Were Sava they might hear us, but there wee no answer. We then went further ahead till we mute to a heap of stones. (The heap of stones here alluded to is one erected by the engineer of the ordnance survey to mark the highest eminence on the land.) When we came to this we thought there must he some inhabitants on the Wand. We want further on. laid I thought I saw • fence. The mate said .• Yea, and there's a house." We saw the house and made to it; we called up the people and they let us in; they made • fire for ue end we remained all night. There were three houses, and we divided ourselves; among them. Next morning we went down to there, but we could see nothing but pieces of clothing all tern to bits. On the night of the wreck we did not see Cape Clear light at all. If we had seen it lam sure we would have been saved. When we first saw the light at Crookhaven the mate said, " That is Cspe Clear light." No," said the captain, " Cape Clear light is a revolving light, and it is very high, so that must be the Old Heed of Kinsale." If we had seen the Cape light after we had seen that at Crookhaven we would have been Safe, for we had plenty of room to go round it with the wind we had. I have been 17 years at sea, and I have never seen a finer sea-boat than the Stephen Whitney, nor one better found or manned. Iler rigging was in first rate order. She had all new sails. I think every sail that was bent in her was new. I only belonged to her this voyage. On Thursday, about 2 o'clock, we were brought off by the coast guards. There was no one much hurt except the steward, though several complained of being bruised about the feet, We have been in Crookhaven since Thursday. The people of the house where we stopped on the islend were as kind to us as if we had all been brothers. They had, I thought,v little to eat themselves, but whatever they had they shared with us. I had nothing but my shirt on me, and the man of the house where I stopped toot off his awn clothes to cover me. They made us some bread, and, I believe, used all their own food to make it; we can never feel too grateful for their kindness. They had not any turf or wood, and they kept burning their straw all night to keep us warm, till next , morning we went down and picked up some pieces of the , wreck or them. In the house where I was there was a man, his wife, and his two children—they all looked half•starved, especially the children. I don't think there was one half . penny saved out of the vessel, for there was no time to do it. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 17. A numeroualy-attended privy -council, at which the lord-lieutenant presided, was held at the castle yes terday afternoon. The frightful state of the midland and southern counties was the subject for which the council was called together. It is said that the heads of the intended coercion bill for Ireland were sub mitted by his excellency, and although some alterations were suggested, the general bearings of the measure were approved of by all present. Such is the confident rumour concerning the proceedings of the privy council yesterday. This day a deputation, composed of Lord Donough more, lieutenant of the county Tipperary; Lord Oleugall, vice-lieutenant ; the Hon. Francis Prittie, Count D'Altou, and other magistrates, had an inter view with the lord-lieutenant, at the viceregal lodge, on the subject of the state of Tipperary. Mr. W. H. Ellis, assistant-barrister of the county Westmeath, died last night at Cyprus•grove, near 1 1 this city. It was stated in court this afternoon, that Mr. Michael Barry had received an intimation from the government that he should have this vacancy. Mr. Barry is a Roman Catholic. Mr. Bayly lies in a very precarious state. He is restored to consciousness, converses a little, and is reported to go on favourably. The surgeon-general, however, is indisposed to give a positive opinion as to his safety. The following particulars in the Tippe rary Vindicator of to-day relative to the unfortunate gentleman are interesting : We ate happy in being able to Hate that hopes are entertained of Bayly's recovery, as no unfavourable symptom has manifested itself up to this merino!. lie has been able to 'peak a little from the diet, and to describe rather minutely the particulars of this savage Mtn& en him.

The baptism of the "Drennan Club" formed a very rude ceremonial in the Music-hall. Tripe, the butcher, and Bottom, the weaver, with the aid of Kentish fires, crackers, and such like explosives, completely drowned the voices of the deputation and disinfected the meeting from the contagion of their eloquence. On Monday evening the staff of the schism, including Smith O'Brien, Meagher, Duffy, Mitchell, and M.Gee, appeared in the Music-hall with a string of their political supporters, to found the Drennan branch of the society. The Old Ireland party, with a sprinkling of the Ballymagarrett boys, pre occupied the ground ; and, though a strong force wag outside to prevent disorder, the inside was all ri t s 'ed roar, and sometimes in a blaze, from the moment the secretary essayed to explain the principles of the confederation. He was met, in limine, "with a literal tempest of the most discordant elements of sound." Smith O'Brien interposed his name and authority to quell the outrageous confusion ; but, " after looking coolly on the scene," retired. Mr. Meagher next tried his determined will, when the violence became alarming ; the police rushed in and captured the ringleaders. Peace having been partially . restored, the club was inaugurated amid much dejection, and with little eloquence. The raw talons of the Dungannon volunteers having been served up hot and with little spice, the meeting sepa rated. This is the severest blow the confederates have yet received. Belfast was deemed strong ground, but it opened under their feet and swallowed them. Kilkenny is anxious to secure the presence of the Royal Agricultural Society for the next year's show, and the city of Canice is entitled to the honour. As a stimulant to the council, a few of the large local proprietors, including the Marquis of Ormond., Lords Decree and Clifden, agree to guarantee the society to the amount of 5001. for expenses. The disadvantage of Kilkenny is its inland position, but this equally applies to Ballinuloe. A great aggregate meeting of the county of Cork will be held next month to urge the tenant-right. NATIONAL COUNCIL OF IRISH MRILBEBB. This body concluded its session yesterday evening at a late hour, when they agreed to the subjoined series of molts done. It had been intended to hold a public or rather open meeting, where those resolutions, and the reasons for adopt ing them, were to have been submitted to the country before transmission to the government ; bat several of the members present during the deliberations having been obliged to lean town previous to their departure for the metropolis, that in tention was abandoned. The resolutions were forwarded by this night ' s post to Lord John Russell for his consideration. It is understood to be the determination of this party of forty-seven members, the largest number of our representa tives, by the way, which ever assembled in this country since the union, to hold frequent conferences during their sojourn in London in attendance on parliament. The first of theme will be held on Tuesday next, when the determination tithe government with respect to those reeolutiona will beseass known and when it will be decided whether or not the Irish members of this council shall move, on behalf of themselves, an amendment to the address.

STATE or hfavo.—The accounts to-day from Mayo are of the most deplorable character. The destitution has be come so intense as to be almost beyond imagination ; the seacoast is most miserable, but description fails to convey any idea of the state of the island population, which in and around Clew Bay is very numerous. Bantered, are subsist ing on turnip tope and a scanty sprinkling of meal ; and an officer of the county, who limited returaed from Clare Island and Imaisturk, states this he has seen in each several un happy creatures expiring in agony from utter want. These wretches belong . to the union of Westport, where no out door relief is given; and the workhouse is already over crowded; so much so, that about a mere of these miserable people who were taken from those Islands and landed at Westport were refused admission—there was no shelter for them, and they are now wandering about the streets. Be sides, it frequently happens at this period of the year that sevens' days elapse before it is possible to communicate be tween those islands and the shore. DRYAD/CIL Lose or LTPE.—A great storm ravaged the coasts of Mayo on the Bth inst., when over thirty poor crea tures lost their lives.

SCOTLAYD. EDI7IIII7IIOA, Nov. 17. Sir George Grey has been corresponding with the Edinburgh authorities, regarding the state of fever and amount of mortality ; bat whether this movement on the part of the Home Secretary is general to all large town., or special to Edinburgh, does not at pre sent appear. The Lord Provost solicited the use of a line-of-battle ship, to be anchored in the Firth of Forth, for the purpose of receiving convalescent patients. Sir George declines furnishing the desired accommodation, on the ground that from the exposed situation of the Forth there would be great danger of the patients catching cold, and sugges ts nstaid the erection of fever sheds; and promises, when required, to the sur e p c li eeeis necessary quantity of disinfecting fluids. Sirc quite right. One line-of-battle ship, or a whole tof them, floating off Inch Keith, would be a mere dallying with the stream, while the fountain would remain untouched. It is not fleets of ships, but regiments of scavengers that are wanted—it is not I patients carried to the waters of the Forth, but toe waters of the Forth carried to the patients, that is needed. Lit the fire-engines play down a certain nom bar of closes per diem—let disinfectants be afterwards ' administered—let the infirmary fever-wiuds be shut up, to prevent the concentration of disease in a crowded and dingy part of the city—and let unemployed exca vators be set to the erection of fever sheds in the Queen's Park, and then we may expect fever to abate; bat until those or some other thoroughly bold mea sures are adopted, fever will encircle Edinburgh for the winter, as tenaciously as the old man clang to the shoulders of Sinbad the Sailor. What is wanted is Dome body to take the initiative. The official boards work in circles; the town council looks to the pare- , ehial board, it again to the commissioners of police, , and they in their turn to a new bill. But while they wait for bills, and our destitution boards for money, the mower, Death, is cutting down four victims a day. Every day lost opens four graves. In October the deaths from typhus in Edinburgh were 129 ; and although the total mortality for the month was below average (that result also taking place during the year when cholera visited Edin burgh), still this is only a more substantial reason why disease should be vigorously resisted in its individual development. Fever may be said to be the only . prevailing diseams at present ; it should therefore be singled out for attack, and perseveringly extir pated. Passing beyond the official range, why do the George Combeees, Robert Chamberses, and James Simpson, who have done so much to instruct other 1 places in sanitary matters, not come forward and form an association for fumigating " their own romantic town?" Surely " distance does not lend enchantment to the view" in the matter of sanitary obligation. During the past week 562 labourers have been discharged from the Nithadale Railway, and 193 from the Caledonian. The number still employed is 5,070. Lord I)rumlanrig, the member for Dumfriesshire, has contradicted a report that he intended voting for the removal of Jewish disabilities. In a long letter to the Dumfries Cuurier, his lordship states that the reasoning on this point of the late Dr. Arnold ap pears to him to be more cogent than that of Mr. • Macaulay. UNIVERSITY Tcsre.—This question is coming to a crisis. Independently of the proceedings in the law courts, notices have been given in the town council of two important motions on the subject I. To take the opinion of counsel as to the best means of applying the tests to all the present professors, should Mr. M'llouall be rejected for non subscription. 2. To petition parliament for the abolition of tests. The church is also threatened with another non-intrusion commotion on a small scale. Government presents the living of Girvan, in Ayrshire, to the Rev. Mr. Conan. Out of 582 communicants, 40 object to his grammar and style of preaching. Under the veto net of the free church party a majority required to object before the presbytery sanctioned the rejection of the presentee—but under Lord Aberdeen's benefice act the presbytery can give effect to the dissent of the minority, which in this case has been done. The patronage, therefore, virtually resides in the clergy, not in the crown or the people. It is also whis pered that the church courts have little good will to the pre venter+ of the present ministry—as the practice of having clerical advisers formerly observed, has, it is alleged, been in some recent appointments overlooked. PROVINCIAL. DESTRUCTION OF A SILK-MILL AT ECCLES ET FIRE.—On Wednesday afternoon the extensive silk-throw ing and winding mill at Eccles, generally known as the esta blishment of Messrs. Bindlosa and Preston, at Manchester, but which, it appears, has latterly been tenanted and worked by Messrs. Ilobsoa and Taylor, was destroyed under the fol lowing somewhat extraordinary . circumstances :—A firs was discovered to have broken out in the roof of the building at half past one o'clock at noon, whilst the workpeople were at dinner ; and though the dames procressed so slowly that the entire of the afternoon was wasted in the destruc tion of the property, from a want of sufficient presence of mind and a combination of most extraordinary circum stances, the opportunities of arresting the mischief were loot. The silk mill stands close to the village of Eccles, and within a third of a mile of the Liverpool and Manche.- ter Railway station, and is a massive, well•constructed building of brick, four stories in height, 126 feet by 52 in dimensions, lighted by 132 windows, and baring . en engine house and gasometer at the end, and two extensive reservoirs attached, one at either end. Had energetic means been taken any time within half an hour after the discovery of the fire to get the Manchester fire engines (four miles and a half distant ) to the spot, it is hardly too much to say that the property might have been saved with the loss of the roof, or at most the top story only. MOWS. Taylor and Hobson both live on the premises, and Mr. Taylor gave the first alarm, in consequence of seeing smoke issuing from the roof. This was at half-past one. He in formed his partner, and they proceeded with some assistants to the upper story of the mill, carrying buckets of water, and hoping to get immediately at the flames by going through the ceiling and getting betwixt that and the slated roof. On entering this attic, however, they were choked by the smoke, and obliged to retreat. It was then that Mr. Hobson bethought himself of getting a fire engine, but unfortunately, though a railway train passes through the village to Manchester at eight minutes past two o'clock, no attempt was made by any party to avail themselves of the advantage which it could give in speed. Mr. Hobson directed a man to take a horse to Salford, and not to Manchester, where the most extensive fire-engine establishment is kept. This man left at twenty minutes before two o'clock, but did not find kis way to the Salford establishment till half-past two o'clock, having to ride, as he states, a worn-out cab horse which he could not get along, and which ultimately he had to dismount and lead by the head. In the meantime, the engine.d to the mill appears to have acted with great judgment, for, cutting off all connexion between the mill and the gasometer, by filling the mains with water, he pro ceeded to close the windows and doors of the mill, and then turned the whole of the immense quantity of steam gene rated by two 30-horse power boilers, into the various rooms of the mill. The steam had the effect of stopping the pro gress of the flames downwards, and of confining them to the roof till the arrival of a fire-engine from Salford. The time at which this engine arrived is variously stated, the engineer averring that it did not make its appearance till 14 minutes past 3. At thistime, and whilst the engine was gearing, some of the villagers, with greatly mistaken judgment, broke the windows of the mill, letting in the air, and dispersing the steam. Then again the fire-engine, when first geared, had two hose attached to it, so that the water could not be thrown with force enough from either jet to reach sufficiently high. When this error had been corrected by Mr. Darling, the superintendent, and he had got the whole force of the engine siting upon one hose, the hose bunt. This accident occurred at a most critical period of the fire—a little before four o'clock; and soon after that Mr. Darling despatched the three horses with which he bad brought the engine to Eccles beck to Salford, to bring a second engine. The second engine arrived at five o'clock, but in the meantime Mr. Lewis, of the firm of Messrs. Partingtou and Lewis, cotton spinners, who have a mill within a few yards distance off that to which we are referring, becoming seriously alarmed for the whole property in the neighbourhood, in consequence of the progress which the flames were then making, started for Manchester in a gig, to get the assistance of the Mae cheater fire-brigade. They arrived at the polioe.yard, MM. cheater, at five o'clock, and the superintendent, males with great energy on the moment, got one of his most peewit engines to the spot in half au hour, and taking up en mita positive succeeded in rendering effector/ seeps. This was at • time, however, when the fire had allied see mush head and done too much damage for any great pollen of property to be saved.

ANOTHER SWINDLER.—The Sheffield Iris of ye•- terde an adventurer of the same clan sa the sae so slate bunted out of Manchester by Mr. Seasick, has Ltd) lllla aggsmunos in Sheffield. He gave his name Annoy and took a house and shop next door to the Horal I° Hotel, at a rent of 601. per annum. This house was to be opened so a provision watehouss on a large scale—the gentleman having a brother in Manchester, who was a whole sale dealer In the same line of business, and also having large connexions in Belfast, from whence a great portion of the provisions were to come. Having taken so respectable a house, he desired to be supplied with ell he wanted by re etable tradesmen ; Mr. Galbraith, of Norfolk-shwa, was therefore honoured with an order for some first-ate clothes, which are accordingly supplied without delay.' Mr. Staniforth also supplies him with a gait sdaptad to the shop and serving of flour; and souse unfortunate cordwsiner is victimised for a pair of boots. Mr. Jones, of the Market place, was duly honoured with an order for carpeting, to the amount of about 301. ; Mr. Basely, of Angel-street, for furniture, to about the same amount. Mr. Wilke was applied to for a proper quantity of weights and sales; and Mr. Loxley, of Castle-hiII, put up a large fiour•bin, counter, and shelving, to the value of some 161. Mr. Ellis had the happiness of supplying the glen; and some respectable brewer sent in divers barrel s of ale of Ara-rate quality. As a portion of the business was to be conducted on the recipro city principle, the gentleman who furnished the boots sent his wife for some flour but Mr . George Jackson's shop hid not opened. Other tradesmen, too, who were to be paid cash, sent in their bills, but the expense of fitting up the shop was so great that ney must wait a day or two. They did wait, but no oath was forthcoming ; and what seemed most strancis, that Mr. 0. Jackson did not open hie shop. At human patience could no far th er go, and one or two of creditors who began to suspect they had been duped effected an entrance into the premier, when they found that all that could be pawned or sold was gone, and that the bird himself had taken wing. A robbery like this ought to operate ae a warning to our tradesmen against supplying parties with pods without first being satisfied of the reasonable probability of payment for the articles fur nished. The gentleman stands about 6 feet 8 inches in height, is oda light complexion, with red whiskers, and ap pears between 35 and 40 years of ESHI age. CHRE. SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BIRKENHEAD DOCK CONlNlssloNEßS.—Yesterday a special meeting of the Bir kenhead Dock Commissioners was held at the Board-room, Hamiltonequate, for the purpose of receiving a report from the deputation appointed to communicate with the bond holders and the dock company; also, the result of their in. terview with Mr. Pemberton, as to the construction of shade on the dock quays, and to take into consideration the con ditions submitted by the bondholder for an alteration in the proposed dock trust. There were present W. Potter, Esq., In the chair; Mews. Watson, Laird, Barbour, Thompeos, Adamson, llicklio. Prichard, Cole, Pike, Nicholls, Bryan.. and Oilbertson.--The law clerk then read the report, which stated that the deputation had had an interview with the directors of the dock company, in London, on the 10th inst., at which -the chairman of the directors gave every assurance that the dock company would do their utmost to raise and refund the monies owing to the dock commissioners by them. The report further stated that the bondholders had been waited on by the deputation, with the view of procuring their concurrence in the recent proposals of government with regard to the dock works of Birkenhead, which resulted, after one or two preliminary meetings, in an answer from the bondholders to this effect :—" The bondholders present (Baron Goldsmid, Mr. (iarnett, and Mr. Bailey) semi de red that the arrangement, with some exceptions and modi ficutions, would be desirable, but they could not give a deci sive answer until after the minutes of the arrangements had been submitted to a general meeting of their body, which meeting they would tali for the 23rd instant." The deputa tion further reported that subsequently the bondholders had submitted a proposal to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, to the effect that they should have the appointment of six of the commissioners who were to be chosen when the trust will be remodelled. A short discussion then ensued on the point raised in the latter part of this report, after which Mr. W. Laird proposed that the report of the deputation be received and adopted ; that a copy thereof be sent to the bondholders, and that the deputation be requeated to take such further steps as they may deem necessary.—This motion was seconded by the chairman and carried, Mr. Nicholls only voting against it. The board then adjourned. WARWICKSHIRE. CURRENCY REFORM.—The memorial to the Queen, adopted by the Birmingham Currency Reform Association, in compliance with the resolution. passed at the public meeting in that town on the sth inst., will be forwarded to Lord John Rumen to-day (Friday), for presentation to her Majesty. NORFOLK. TILE ALLEGED RobBEkIES B 7 MR. TEIDRTELL were investigated by the magistrates at Norwich Castle on Wed nesday. Reporters were refused admission. A correspond ent says, " The examination was strictly private. it appears however from what has Unwired, that Mr. Thurtell was employed by E. Ferrer, Esq , of Sporle-with-Pulgrave, to survey and lay out extensive pleasure-grounds, and that he was treated as a gentleman. Soon after Thurtell had finished his labours there was miming a considerable quantity of Mr. Farrer's plate, and elan a pair of hoots. Thane:l was not at first suspected, but suspicion fell upon the servants, all of whom felt very much hurt, and protested. their innocence. Mr. Ferrer then, without supposing Thurtell could be the thief, wrote to Mr. Yarington, superintendent of the Nor wich police, informing him of the huskies. Yarington, knowing Thurtell's character, sent for him. Raving Usti mated to him the fact, he despatched his officers to search his premises. A brief investigation satisfied the officers that their suspicions were properly founded. They first saw the boots, and then searched the premises. Here they found a number of pawnbrokers' duplicates of plate, &e., which had been pawned at different shops, and on searching the flower garden they found property to a considerable extent, which they considered themselves justified in taking passion of. Tbeirtell was taken before the magistrates, and was re manded to Norwich gaol, from whence he was removed to the castle. The accused is sou of a late alderman of Norwich. The examination lasted the whole of the afternoon, and ended in Thurtell's being committed. The magistrates agreed to admit him to bail. Int Mrama. NAYMAltarr.—The theatres are prolific this season in the production of regular, full-grown, five-act plays. In cluding the Haymarket novelty of last night, we have had three such pieces within little more than as many weeks, and all of them have been successful; but whether they will he regarded as permanent accessions to our stock of dramatic literature remains to be seen. When we look back to the long list of plays which have been triumphantly received dunng the lest dozen years, sod to the very brief list of those which have lived beyond the season of their birth, we are led to have little faith in the value of a first night's ap plause. We are far from saying that the new play of last evening was wholly undeserving of the reception it met, though we are convinced that this reception, considering the piece, as a whole, was a good deal beyond its deserts. It ts called " Family Pride , and is said to be from the pen of Mr. Sullivan, a geatleman not unknown to the public as a writer for the stage. Its object, as may be ga thered from the title, is to ridicule excessive pride of family, and the notion that aristocratic honour is degraded by con nexion with any family that has owed its wealth or import ance to industrious occupation. But the plot employed to convey this moral is so meagre in incident, that it required a laborious process of wire-drawing to make it fill up a space of more than three hours' duration. There were ma terials sufficient for a lively two-act, or perhaps three-act drama, but certainly not for mote. The foible of family pride is exhibited in the person of Mrs. IV, lloughby Court ney, a dowager of enormous pedigree and moderate fortune, who resides in an ancient country-house, with her son Arthur, a youth who has been brought up entirely at home, under a tutor, named Doctor Dodge, a person oddly chosen for such a function. Having been a broken-down squire, and afterwards a hone-doctor, he finds his way into an aristocratic family, as the instructor of its heir, whom be accomplishes in field sports, leaving him otherwise ins state of nature, The Doctor is rendered by Farren an amusing oddity, passable in a farce, but not so in a comedy professing to have the higher aim of a picture of life and manners. Mr.. Courtnay, with the view of pushing her son forward in political life, resolves to pay some attention to her un-aristocratic neighbours, whom she has hitherto neglected, but whose influence in the county might bring him into parliament ; and she invites to her house Mr. Chapman, a rich manufacturer,with his daughter and niece; but, being afraid of the hazard of a nsisalliance, wishes to get her son out of the way during Miss C•Aapman's visit, believing him to be unacquainted with her. The young people however have often met; clandestinely on Arthur's part,while the young lady has no idea that his visits are unknown to his mother. On Miss Chapman': arrival, Mrs. Couralay finds, to her dismay, from the young lady's frank conversation, that Arthur has been long in the habit of attending her in her rides about the neighbourhood, said that they are on intimate terms. Hereupon the proud lady throws out so many hints and innuendoes about the impropriety and evil consequences of young persons marrying above their station, that the young lady, though she has returned Arthur's affection, is provoked into a determination to reject his ad dresses. This leads to a good scene between the lovers; Arthur (who is represented, though rustic and bashful, as less unpolished than might be expected flrom his breeding) having mustered courage to declare his love, finds his suit re ieeted, with rather more sarcasm and disdain than is quite in keeping with the character of an amiable young lady, The youth, whose family pride is stung by the refusal, most unaccountably proceeds to solicit the manufacturer's sanc tion to his addruses, not to his daughter, but to his niece, and the old gentleman gives his consent. When all this comes out, the dowager is furious, and a scene of reproaches and quarrelling ensues which ends in the guests preparing blunt the house. Dr. Dodge receives his &mired for barfag mieeducated his pupil, and resolves to emigrate to Anelealia ; and the young man, overwhelmed with shame trey self-reproach, resolves to accompany his tutor. The ands:, in despair at the prospect of losing her son, at Lath sees the folly of her family pride, receives lie worthy tutor again into favour, and unites file b of the lovers. There is, moreover, a dashing Isla gaper, a lover of Letitia Bradley, old Chapman's riser; a pleasant fellow enough, who (personated by Madesa) speaks a capital brogue, butis very slightly con meted with the principal plot ; and there is a coquettish waiting-woman, and two gentlemen of the shoulder-knot, who are rivals for her good graces, who serve only to spit oat fir mime without in die least contributing to its tbs wires piece there is no embrace of reality ; alll s M nemived during its prom was bestowed = i t emmeekra, shrewd imply, and pointed ill the &kr" and frequently !brew a Barka llstr id ver same that was beginning to wax dull; and d tab drewariese, midi le my, were the greatest portion of the rase Aar dr MI eta* third not, by whirr period the enbermes se *Nigro, woo exhausted.

Hamby made the flirtations of Grace, the waiting-woman, with the two footmen, very amusing. ADELPHI. —A new drama, the last production ci Mr. R. B. Peaks, was produced here yesterday evening, to the entire satisfaction of a crowded audience. It is entitled " Gabrielli, or the Bequeathed Heart," and its story runs briefly thus : • young Irish gentleman, on his travels, falls deeply in love with Gabrielli, the prima donna of the San Carlo, who, on the occasion of a fete, jocosely asks him to leave her his heart. Herman of business, a knavish attorney, persuades him that the apparent jest meant something very tender, and the enamoured O'Carrol accordingly actually makes a will, bequeathing his heart to the fair cantetrice, the lawyer inserting a penalty, on eon-performance by the family, of 10,0001., to be paid out of the O'Csrrol estates. The young man 110011 afterwards falls in a duel, defending the reputation of his adored one ; and so ends Act 1. Act 2 carries us to Ireland, where the bereaved mother and her daughter are offering up their orisons at young O'Carrol's tomb, on the first anniversary of his sepulture. The Neapo litan lawyer comes to claim the bequest, wish the intention of keeping the money himself, he supposing Gabrieili dead, from having seen her throw herself into the water after her lover's fall, After vainly seeking to induce Henrietta O'Carrol to give him her own heart, instead of her brother's, er the 10,0001., he is about to enforce his claim by the strong arm of the law, when On brielli, wbo bad been picked out of the water, and spent a year in a nunnery, makes her appearance, and settles matters to the satkatamion of all parties, the ati ex Madame Celeste , *, Gobrisai, did wkatTZ absCt to do with her usual poutomhnie effect.

There are 'near two nice bits of scenery, and some dancing, which contributed to the popularisation of the piece. AND CLERICAL.

ROEET.—BILL OF REVtER.—ThiI was an appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor, allowing a de murrer to a bill of review, which was filed to collect an omission in a decree in a suit for redemption of mortgaged premises.—Mr. S. Miller, in support of the bill, and of the askeppefalo r :cad . prayer ace t o h u e ntf tu of e re t n h u e formeroo and profits bil l , of tbwhiche mortgagedom premises while they were in the possession of Mr. Robey, senior, then dreamed. The decree likewise omitted to direct those accounts to be taken, and the master, in taking the accounts directed by that decree to be taken, reported that he did not take the accounts of the said rents and profits, because they la ere not referred to him by the decree. The :earned counsel submitted that, as the redemption bill prayed geueral relief, it was an error in the decree not to have directed the accounts of the said rents and profits to be taken. And that was one of the errors—he mentioned another—apparent on the face of the decree,which the bill of review proposed to have corrected.—The Lord Chancellor, without hearing the counsel in support of the demurrer, said the rule, on the subject as laid dawn by Lord Eldon in " Perry v. Phillips" (17 Vesey), governed the practice of the court. The plaintiff in the original suit prayed to be declared en titled to the equity of redemption, and that accounts might be taken of the rents and profits of the mortgaged lands while in possession of Robey, the younger; and that he might lie decreed to repay the surplus no received beyond the mortgage debt. That was what the bill asked the court to do. The plaintiff now comes and says he wants rents and profits received by Robey, senior ; and says it was an error apparent on the lace of the decree not to have the accounts of them directed to be taken by the master. But he did not by his bill ale the court to direct these accounts to be taken, and now he complains that the court did not do more for him than he asked, and be files the present bill to obtain those accounts. Rio Lordship wasclearly of opinion that the Vice- Chancellor was right in allowing the demurrer, and the appeal should be dismissed. NIORTINOALE V. BOULBURN.—BSQUEST TO THE CHAN CELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, FOR THE BENEFIT OF GREAT BRITAIN.—This was aa appeal from a decree of Vice-Chan cellor Wigram, declaring that a bequest made by a testator, in the terms which here follow. was of a charitable nature, and therefore valid : " I now desire that my said trustees and trustee shall convert all and singular my investments in stocks, fund*, and other securities, into money, and do and shall pay such money, and all other trust money whatsoever remaining undisposed of, after payment of all and every the legacies, bequests, and donations, and sums of money afore said, and all expenses attending the execution of this my will, to the Queen's Chancellor of the Exchequer for the time being, and to be by him appropriated for the benefit and advantage of my beloved country, Great Britain." The residuary estate subject to this bequest amounted to 16,0001. and a fraction.—Mr. Romilly and Mr. Sidney Bell for the testator's next of kin, in support of the appeal, con tended that the terms of the bequest were tea vague and uncertain to constitute a charitable purpose, and if it failed as a charity in any part it tailed altetlier, and the next of kin of the testator became entitled. They cited a great num ber of cases in support of their argument that the bequest was void. Among the cases were, " Morriee o. the Bishop of Durham " (19 Vesey), " Browne v. Veal* " (7 Vacy, 60 note), " Vesey v. Janson*" (1 Simons and Stuart), " Wil liams e. Kershaw," (5 Clark and F., 11l note), " Ellis e. Selby" (1 Craig and P.), and " Milford e:Reynolds " (1 Phillips).—The argument, were not concluded at two o'clock, when the Lord Chancellor rose to go to the Ileum of Lords.

Re Broos.—Tnuarin Acr.—Mr. Metcalfe applied, ender the Trustee Act, 10 & 11 Viet, c. 96, of last session, for an order to pay some trust money into the name of the as countant-general.—The Muter of the Rolls said no order was necessary, but that the accouatant-general would re ceive the money without one. Before the Vice.Chaneellor of MAITLAND O. BAOICHOU/11.—IINDUMLINCIS EXEIL- LlBllO BY A GCARDIAN.—Mr. Bethel! and Mr. Bralgette showed MU* in this case spinet dissolving an injunction which had been granted to restrain proceedings at law in an action at law against the plaintiff under the following cir cumstances :—The plaintiff, Mile Maitland, a young lady whose property amounted to about 83,0001., was pieced by her father at an early age under the are of Mr. Donald Maclean, formerly member of parliament for Oxford, who bad married her maternal aunt, and who was upon her father's death appointed her guardian.
