W. Howler, on taking the choir, expresses' his sur- Por the-. such an alliance had not been established many Tun ago, foe the purpose of remedying the abuses which wire deeply engrained in the firms of ,ociety in this country. The aristocracy, who hod become great by the industry of leo people, had plunged the country into war with every r'" sf the globe, and eicercil it with the debt under which " an groaned. The whole export duty of the country wanted to about 50 millions sterling, and the taxes, which Ovate mimed principally on account of the numerous abuses too:lnch ht referred, to more than that sum. That fact shoe denoted much corruption and much want of reform. for the Reform Bill, it was an aristocratic, a mere sham '‘`Foote —a mockery, a delusion, end a snare—a very small ffolndion of th e population haring a voice in the repre natation of the country. It was evident, then, that 11 1 wanted an extensio n o f th e su ff r age to every man who e. taxes directly or indirectly. They also wanted reforms is the Customs and Excise departments—in the criminal aliened code—in the tenure of land—in the law of primo geniture he its abolition—and in the law of entail, by its re- Ptol—a reform in the principles of trade—a reform in their owyerat,,„.._ ions, and in none more so than that of London. ,ottght to strike at once at the root of - "▪ ..Inton a ,_ by demanding universal suffrage, that the people "v" 4l * wally represented, and the work of reform be - ly Illeinnted.

Resolutions approving of the formation of the National Alliance; pledging it to use peaceful means only, and milling for liberal and continuous cuutribu tions, were unanimously agreed to as, was the following ..-- That the radety of a nation depends on the virtue and wisdom of Ito people, and upon a free government, honestly and economically adininistered by representative institution.

That the disorganised state of political portiere, and the reasons above sin cirlod, lead • his meeting to resolve that the present is a favourable time for creating a national movement in favour of the full enfranchisement of all chums of the people. The passing of this resolution concluded the proceedings. SOLICITORS' AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE.— The first annual general meeting of this society was held yesterday at the Gray's-inn Coffee House; Commissioner i'onblanque in the chair. Mr. Nelson, the consulting-actu ary, read his report, which stated that since the commence. meat of the business of the society on the 6th of April, 1846, 205 policies had been issued, covering assurances to the extent of 113,6911. lls. t , o ildzroducing an income of 3,4561. 12. 3d.; that 13 other pro ,amounting in the aggregate to 6,3741., had been accep , but the policies were not yet completed ; 10 were slid under consideration, and 28 hail been declined; that 57 other proposals had been made, 25 of which had since been withdrawn, and in the remaining 32 the polities had not been taken up ; that the average amount o. each policy effected was 5601. ; that 2 annuities had been granted of the value of 7861. 10s. 2d.; that no death bad yet occurred amongst the assured lives, which fact, taken in connexion with the number of pro posals, and the amount of business actually done (which in this, the first year, exceeded that of the majority of the most successful companies established during the last twenty years) showed that due caution bad been exercised by the directors, and that under continued skilful management the society might, at a very early period, be expected to become advantageous to the assured and profitable to the proprie tors. The report of the directors stated that the number of shares allotted was 17,3&5; of these the deposit of 5.. a share had been paid on 14,518, and the call of 11 .share on 12,558. The capital thus represented wax 617,9001. From the ba lance sheet to the 31st Dec., 1846, which was read by the secretary, it appeared that the receipts were, on paid up capital, 15,2011. 5.

The chairman, in answer to a question put by Mr. Wools, in reference to the charge for preliminary expenses, sail that no fees had been paid to the promoters of the society for their exertions, nor were the directors liable to any payment on that account. The report having been received and unanimously adopted, 3001. were voted to the directors fir their services; and .51. 5. to each of the actuaries, in addi tion to their travelling expenses. In seconding this lass vote, Mr. Wools took occasion to congratulate the society, on its prosperous condition, despite an attack which bad been made upon it in its infancy by the Times in a leading article. A letter was at once forwarded to the Times, explaining the objects of the society, stetting the respect ab,e and influential gentlemen under whose innuenet. it had been formed, and proving that there was no foundation for the attack. Since then, the Times had carried its tail be tween its legs—(a laugh)—on the subject of this association, which now was so strong ea 4 firmly based as to be able to resist its attack., or those of any other paper. Mr. Jones (a director), in acknowledging a vote of thanks to the director., stated his belief that the Times had been misled. That day's proceedings would however satisfy the publicthat there was no ground for the attack which had been made. — Thanks were them voted to the chairman, and the meeting terminated. Scorns,' HOSPITAL.—The quarterly general court el governors was held yesterday, in the hall of the Scottish earporation, Crane.court ; Dr. Webster presiding. The minutes of the meetings of the committee since the last aeon having been confirmed, a letter was read from the sommittee, consisting of Messrs. Noble, Warr, and Murray, who had been appointed to examine into the account' of the secretary, in consequence of an imputation upon their fair ness which had been ma Ns at the last meeting by Mr. Morris. The letter was to the effect, that the committee had carefully examined the accounts in question, and found them to be correct.—On the motion being put for the inser tion of the letter on the minutes, Mr. Morris denied meet positively that he had imputed the slightest unfairness on the part ot the secretary, or mode a charge of any description against him.—Dr. Mackenzie and Captain Lamont thought that the matter should be inquired into, as they were opposed to any gentleman making charges which he was unprepared to suhstantiate.—Dr. Cumming concurred in thin opinion, declaring that he had heard charges made by Mr. Morrie, which it was but right should be substantiated or retracted. After a long discussion composed of a reitera tion of the statements on either side, it was agreed that the letter of the committee should be ei,tered on the minutes; and also, on the motion of Dr. Cumming, seconded by Mr. Weemys, that Mr. Morris should be called upon to retract and apologise for the charges which he had made. Mr. Morris then gave notice that he would at the next meet ing enter into a full justification of the statement which he , had made, and which had been construed into a charge against the secretary.—The court then proceeded to the re mainder of the business on hand, the principal part of which wan the reading by the secretary of some memoranda which he had collected from the minute books, giving an account of the progress of the Scottish Hospital from ha foundation. On the motion of Mr. Morris, it was agreed that the docu ment should be printed with the nest annual report, and that thanks should be voted to the secretary for preparing it. A similar compliment to the chairman for his conduct in pres , ding over the meeting, concluded the proceedings. PROVIDENT CLERKS MUTUAL BENEFIT ASSO CIATION.—A public meeting was held last evening, at the Eastern Institution, Commercial-road, for the purpose of hearing an explanation of the purposes and objects of the above society. The chair was taken by O. F. Young, Esq., who opened the proceedings by observing upon the great benefit of assurenc.. companies, in inducing habits of Feel dence and economy, and especially with regard to the class to which the present society more particularly applied.—Mr. R. H. Jones, the manager, followed up the cbairmaa's re marks briefly, and to a similar purpose ; after which, Dr. Mullindcr, the secretary, entered into a long explanation of the principles of the society, which were based upon the system of mutual assurance ; the only honest mune, he said, by which a man conld provide for his family. As a proof of t h e ••,.. 0.1 J., ma h.• 1,4- the -.....-eistionsinee o establishment in 1840, he stated that during the first year they had only made 73 policies ; while, in the year 1846, they had 374. He proceeded to enumerate the advantages of the system, relating a recent ease, where the widow of a deceased member had received 200 L. her husband having contributed little more than Si. towards the society.— Mr. F. Young then proposed the first resolution, express ing the opinion of the meeting that the society was emi nently entitled to pubic support, as calculated to effect great and permanent good to all connected with it; and recommending every clerk in the country to become a mem bee —Mr. Freike seconded the resolution, which was further supported by Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P., treasurer to the society, who bore testimony to its merits. Previous to the resolution being put to the meeting, Dr. Mullinder entered into some further explanations connected with the institution, referring to the services which had been rendered towards it by Mr. J. A. Smith. He stated that the total number of policies effected since the commencement was 1,074, insuring the amount of 184,0701. During the present year 122 policies had been effected for 2.5,7501. Their net income was a little better than 5.6111. The resolution having been carried unanimously, thanks were voted to the chairman, on the motion of Mr. J. A. Smith, and the meeting separated DEMOLITION OF THE OLD HOUSE OF LORDS. — Yesterday, at an early hour, a numOer of workmen, under the direction of Mr. Barry, commenced demolishing the old House of Lord., formerly well known as the Painted Chamber of the Palace, and the room in which Edward the Confessor died. The building is being pulled down for the urpose of making the necemary entrances into the New Houses for the re-aseembling of their lordships after.the reeds. " COMING THE SPANISH."—The F.arl of Clarendon has let out the secret of the Spanish Bonds. lie said in the House of Lords thst the dividends were never met, owing to the number of revolutions in Spain, which prevented the payment. We can understand now the object of so many revolutions in that revolutionary country. Rarely does • year pass without there being at least four. It is evident that as soon as dividend-day drawl nigh, the Minister of the Finances takes a peep into the exchequer, and, upon finding that there is only sufficient money to pay the troops, Chris tina, himself, and the ministe rs, he submits to his colleagues the expediency of getting up a revolution immediately to up set the government. Accordingly, orders to that effect are sent off to the Basque provinces, a few guns are tired, a tremendous conspiracy is detected, • quantity of spurious papers are eeivwl, one or two poor devils—Ciali•te probably-.are arrested, and a most flaming account appeals, with all the horrors, in the ministerial wipers. These mailman* of course have their effect. The funds fall; a four-and.twenty hours' panic is produced, and notioe is sent off to London that it is impossible to pay the dividends of the Spanish bonds, on account of the awful revolution which has unexpectedly broken out, and not left a single real in the treasury. We can imagine these events are now so regular that t/•.ey are calculated 13eforehand, like the eclipse', and that the Spanish pocket-b »kg contain no tices like the following: .Iprs' SO.—spud:tit Bonds piyable.

And thus regularly four times a year does Christina and her proud ministers " come the Spanish" over us. It must be so agrmable to settle a bill with a revolution—so easy to discharge 70,000,0001. with a few guns! We wonder Greece, Philadelphia, Mexico, Holland, the Thames Tunnel, and exerything and everybody owing money to the English government, do not get up revolutions. They might be an nounced a week in advance in the newspapers, and, if got up liberally, would certainly draw. We make a preavot of the idea to the epiri'ed proprietor of the Surruy Zoological Gardens. A revolution in the Thames Tunnel, continued for three days, would, we are positive, be an immense hit. — Punch. FIRE IN THE CURTAIN-ROAD.—Yesterday after noon a fire broke out in the upper part of the premise* belonging to Mr. W. Wallace, willow-bleacher, situate No. 7, Chapel-street, Curtain-road, next door to Holywell Mount Chapel. It was caused from the boiling over of a pot of sulphur, which set the contents of the drying-room in a blase. The engines of the Brigade from Whitecroesktreet, Jeffrey square, and Watling-street stations, attended, as well as one os the parish. The firemen, upon their arrival, made an ' attempt to enter the room, but were unable, from the cuff e eating nature of the vapour emitted from the burning sul phur. The engines were, however, set to work, and the flames were coofined to the premises, hut the whole of the stock was consumed. The owner was insured. _ _ INQUESTS, YESTERDAY.—THE SUPPOSED MURDER It 4 Sr. Lox a . s.—By adjournment before Mr. Baker, at the Green-gate tavern, City-road, respecting the death of Eliza beth Richardson, aged 29, whine body was found in a cess o!, in Broad-yard, Golden-lane, St. Luke's, on Thursday last. The inquiry was adjourned for the purpose of making inquiry about the man who was suspected of being instru mental in causing the death of deceased. Serjeant Brennan was engaged to make the necessary inquiries, the result of which, was, that the man instead of having forced the de ceased down the water-closet, or done any other act of violence to her, during the lest few weeks, had been an inmate of St. Martin's workhouse ever since the 4th of March. The coro ner said that, in the absence of further evidence, there could be no difficulty in coming to a conclusion as to what verdict they should return ; he would advice them to return an open one, which would, in the event of anything fresh transpiring, leave the case in such a position that further inquiries could be instituted before the magistrates. The jury hoeing consulted, returned the following verdict: ' 1 hot the deceased was found dead in a cesspool, with out sufficient marks of violence to account for death, huthow she cam. then in there was not suffieient evidence to prove,"— SUR:TUE.—By Mr. Bedford, at the White llart, Little Windmill-street, Haymarket, on the body of Mr. John Stewart, aged 45. The deceased resided at No. 30, Little Windmill-at., and for the last three weeks had been in a very low and desponding state of mind, arising from his having made an investment • f a large sum of money in some homes, which he feared would turn out a failure. He was last seen alive at II o'clock on Tuesday forenoon, and at four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day he was discovered sus pended, in his bed-room, by means of a leathern strap fastened around his neck and attached to a honk in a closet door, only four feet from the ground. He was cut down immediately, and Mr. Hardinge, of Silver-street, surgeon, was promptly in attendance, who pronounced him to have bee:. dead some hours. The deceased had some time before made an attempt on hislife. Verdict, "Temporaryslnsanity." —}IO4IPITAL House SUROSONII.—Before Mr. Walley, at the University College Hospital, on the body of Geo. Kinaham, aged 59,wh0, while painting the parlour windows of 26, Edward-street, Hampstead-road, fell into the area, a height of 13 feet, sustaining injuries from which he died a few hours afterwards. Mr. Alfred Williams, house surgeon, stated that upon deceased's admission to the hospital he was quite insensible, having ten fractures of the ribs and a fright ful fracture of the skull. He died within three hours. Mr. Wakley said t l ,at the house-surgeons of the hospital were gentlemen quite competent for their duties, because the situation was not purchasable as it woo in other hospitals, but obtained by an examination open to as many competi tors as were qualified to present themselves, an d was con ferred on the successful candidate as a mark of distinction for the assiduity with which he pursued his studies. Iu other hospitals the office was sold. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." ACT TO FACILITATE TILE SALE OF EN- CUMBERED ESTATES IN IRELAND.

The sowing of early potatoes, or the second crop, goes on with tolerable briskness. The Irish peasant could not abandon so old a friend without another trial. In Kerry the planting is on a considerable scale, "much more general," says the local journal, "than was anticipated." The lumper is discontinued by all who can afford to try the better species, such as the minion and apple. The former was the first to give way, and if ever the potato should again re sume its ancient supremacy the lumper will cease to exist among the cultivated sorts. A greater blessing could not &dal the population than its extirpation many years past. Its diffusion was the cause of many of our present evils. At the last meeting of the Royal Dublin Society a letter from the lord lieutenant was read approving a suggestion contained in a memorial of the society, and promising to impress its necessity very strongly upon the government, namely, that a farm should be attached to every workhouse in Ireland, which would contribute to the sustenance of the inmates, and dimi hish taxation, as well as train up the youthful pauper to a manly and beneficial employment. At a meeting of the Royal Zoological Society, last night, Professor Forbes, of London, read an interest ing lecture on the present distribution of plants and animals in the North Atlantic. All i the literati of the metropolis attended to give the lekned naturalist a worthy reception. Trade at present is very active along our quays. The Messrs. Stovall, lessees of the Custom-house Docks, give employment to more than 600 men, with wages varying from 10s. 6d. to 14s. per week. The relief committee of the district of Carotin, county of Clare, have agreed to certain resolutions, which they have forwarded to the lord lieutenant, in reference to the state of the public works. The re solutions declare the opinion of the committee, that the expenditure upon the public roads is a wasteful expenditure; that the roads in the district are not only "unfinished, but impassible," for the truth of which they appeal to the county surveyor; and they call upon the government to " repudiate the mistaken economy " which requires that the labourers should be dismissed off the works before they are com pleted. The grand jury of the county of Galway, taking into consideration * great number of sheep stolen during the present pressure of distress, have pre sented a memorial to the government praying that a law may be enacted visiting suspected parties with punishment, in whose possession meat or wool may be found, for the property in which they shall be un willing or unable to account. The several literary societies of Cork have recently been very active in their endeavours to have a school of design founded in that city. The Lords of the Com mittee of Privy Council have replied that the several memorials have been under consideration, as well as a report respecting the foundations of such schools in Dublin and Belfast After they shall have bees decided upon, their lordships will direct their attention to the claims of the South, in which. case "they will not fail to bear in mind the claims of Cork in respect to its being the principal place in the south of Ireland, and in respect to the eminence which has been attained both in sculpture and painting by several natives of that city." SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, MARCK From all parts of ScoilanCl the accounts of the weather are moat cheering. Here we have had some smart rain and hail showers, but followed by sun shine the effect has been decidedly favourable. In the Ilebrides and other remote localities, the sowing appears to be finished. In the north the authorities are bus; in the appre hension of parties involved in the late food riots, and the fruit of their efforts will duly appear at the ap proaching Inverness circuit. The military still con tinue at Wick and Thurso, bat without requiring to be called out. The young man who was apprehended on suspicion of being concerned in the ,chow murder has been liberated, and as yet no clue to the real murderer has been discovered. A proof of the increasing internal traffic of this I I country is afforded by the augmented sums received tnis year for the sale of tolls ; and this, notwithstand lag that many of the keepers have for the first time been prohibited from selling spirits. Grass parks • have also considerably risen, but this is a less unequi vocal proof of national prosperity. In Aberdeen the operatives have instituted a corn society for the wholesale purchase of provisions and the retailing of them to members at cost price. Ether is getting into disrepute here. A fatal case has occnred in the in firmary, and the profeesor of Clinical Surgery has per formed several of his recent operations without it. Many of the principal farmers in Boas-shire have signed the following pledge : 'With a view to ensure a certain supply of corn food, and to allay the panic of a prospective dearth this summer, we, the undersigned, agree severally to keep five quarters of wheat or other grain on hand (besides seed, and the quan tity of grain requisite for our respective establishments), until next harvest time, for each pair of horses employed on our respective farms, and we hereby pledge ourselves to exert our influence with all the proprietors and farmers in the county to join us in doing so, A movement has been made in Aberdeenshire for the subscribing of a similar document. The Glasgow community have made a bad begin ning with their industrial schools—the annual remu neration offered to the first "teacher and superinten dent" being 601. It is only by slow degrees that we are acting on Burke's maxim, that " education is the chief defence of nations." And yet few places stand more in need of remedial measures for its social grievances than Glasgow. The Edinburgh commissioners of police threaten a blow and discouragement to the font office Directory, notice having, at their last meeting, been given of the following motion : That in order to afford every facility in their power to , rectify the many errors and omissions which are reported to exist in the Post-office Directory, the board give permission to any person to have access to the police rental, witbost charge, for a limited period annually, provided the parties I bind themselves for a specified time to issue en improved and correct Directory every year et a ohesp rate. f INTEMPER•t?ef AMONG FLMISIMIN.—Within Oar the !

DIFAMING • LlDY.—Last week, in Edinburgh, a case was tried before the Lord Justice Clerk and a jury, in which Miss Sarah Merie hP.Neill, Charlotte-square, Edinburgh. was pursuer, and the Rev. Gilbert nurieon, Episcopsl cler gyman, Peterhead, was defender. The issue was, whether, , in a number of letters written to a third party in Leith, con- ' leaning the pursuer, she was falsely end calumniously mine- vented to be a person o immodest or unchaste character and ' conduct, and guilty of falsehood or deceit, to the loss, iniury, and damage of the pursuer? Damages laid at ',outs. Atter hearing evidence, the jury returned a ver,,et Ire the pur suer, damages, 3001. The trial excited emedderable intereet. The majority of the crowded court-room were ladies.

WALES. TIIE PRIVILEGES OF THE Betz.—Lord Vivian has pub lished a correspondence between himself and Mr. Justice Coltman, relative to some remarks made by a barrister, Mr. Temple, during • trial on the North Wales Circuit. It appears that Lord Vivian prosecuted a servant for embezzle. ment ; that Mr. Temple was engaged for the defence, and, in the course of his address to the jury, cast some impute tions "upon the motives of the prosecutor. 1 ord Vivian opplitirl to the advocate for an explanation, which was re fused, whereon he wrote to the judge who presided at the trial. .An extract from his letter may be given: . . . For Mr. Temple's opinion of my motives, I are not • bat I do care. for the opinion cot those amongst whom I line ; an the igno rant amongst them are likely to be led rune by such react:dons r were east upon me by Mr. Temple. lam fully aware of the license allowed to an advocate in defence of • client; but I conceive that such license (the law affording no redress for calumnies thus uttered) should be eacreired with discretion and with jaPtiCe. I venture to assert, in the charges brought against me by Mr. Temple, both have been violated; and In this opinion I ion supported by Mr. Townsend, the gentleman who eonducted the prosecution, but with whom I had no previous sequaintance. To you, my Lord, then, I appeal to set me right in the opinion of the public, as to my motives for prowcut leg Mill having been neither vindictive, eutragooi, or wrongful. Lord Neu borough, thv hugh sheriff, was nest appealed to, and signs the following memorandum, which is published with the letters : - - - - - - ..... . On application to the judge 'or to whether he purposed taking Doha of the letter Lewd Virtue had addreved to him, he stated • That he mild ant new revert to the case, in court ; that he con sidered Mr. Temple's begat*e to have been impertinent, but hardly worth Lord Vivian% eats e; and being relevant to the case, he did not stop him at the thee, although had Lord Vivian appealed to him be should have stated that Oh conduct had been very proper in the prose cution, and that he ;the Joilge) would write to Lortltlvian to that erect. Lord Vivian, in reply, exp•esied hie regret that he did not, or ore siding over the court, think itt at mice to vindicate hie character from Mae imputations, and from language which he etigmntivcd an imper tinent; and that he (Lord Vivian) yet more regretted that there wee any counsel on this mend so devoid of right and gentlemanly feeling se to shun making reparation for the unwarrantable language he had red : •••- - ' • • The subject appear to have attracted much attention in the principality. PROVINCIAL. INCENDIA/11811 AT I';;;YtOitl7e:47-During the nights of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, of last week, the plantations of J. Taylor, Esq., Todmorden Hill, were set on fire, notwithstanding the example set forth by the magistrates in the committal of those previously taken. The police had been on the watch every night during the week until a late hour. The fire on each of the above nights commenced immediately after the constables had left the premises. Oa Friday, a police-serjeant deter mined on a stratagem, with a view to entrap the rascal, if possible, which wee put in operation the same evening, and the constable succeeded by thin manccurre :In catching the young fox in the very act. His name is James Lord, aged 17, a tailor's apprentice. Immediately atter being collared, be wan searched, and a box of lucifer-matches was found in his pocket, with which he acknowledged to having set fire to the wood, sad that he had watched the police go off the ground, and had fired the plantation every n;ght,—adding, that he did not care if he wan transported. He was com mitted for trial. REPRPARNTATION OP WARRINOTOM.—A meeting of the liberal electors took place on Monday evening, for the pur se of selecting a suitable candidate to represent the borough in parliament. It was re,olved that William All card, E , q., s..ould be requested to offer himself, and a com mittee was appointed to acquaint him with the wishes of the electors. The meeting then adjourned to a future day, that a reply might be received. Ten EIRCUTION OY PLLTti, THR MURDERER, is ordered to take place this day, at the county gaol, Derby. DEILTITSHIRE Diazzer.—An honest labourer of Chester field, when being examined on the recent trial of Platte for murder, puzzled both judge and counsel by his pro vincialisms. When describing the emptying of the cess pool and finding the remains, he said " something came in the gate ; " " the gate " exclaimed the judge ; " the gate," eehocd the counsel ; buth wearing a greatly puzzled aspect, until it was explained that the gate was synonymous with the way; the jury, however, who were chiefly selected from the Peak, well knew what the witness me .nt. Sub sequently, the same witness deposed to finding " a stale," which led to a repetition of questioning and wonderment, which was satisfied by the explanation that a straight piece of turned wood was meant. A OREAT REDUCTIO7WTII7i'IIICE OP POTATOES has taken place at Oxford. On Saturday last (market day), the dealers caked in the morning, 16a. 6d. per rack, but before the market was closed, they were glad to sell them for Ih. per sack. A similar reduction has also taken place at Witney, Abingdon, and several other places in the neigh bourheod, and it is quite expected that another reduction , will immediately follow. In the corn markets, wheat was something like 4s. per quarter cheaper, and the contract for meat for the Oxford workhouse (commencing on the Ist of April) is Id. per lb. less than the preceding quarter. NORFOLK. CARES OF SUPPOSED POMNINO.—AII DAUNT was com menced on Tuesday last, upon the bodies of Mn. Pearson and Mrs. Everett, two farmers' wives, who died on Sunday last, at Tibbenham, under very mysterious circumstances, as mentioned in our paper of yesterday. Evidence having been given of the fact of the deaths, but without throwing the least light upon the cause of the fatal result, the inquiry was adjourned to give time for a post mor tens examination of the bodies. ESSEX. ANOTHER CASE OP SUSPECTED POISOSINO is now in course of investigation in this county. An inquest was com menced on Friday at Earl's Comae, near Coggeshsll, upon the body of the illegitimatechild of a young woman named Porter. Evidence was given of the sudden and suspicious death of the infant, and of some arsenic having been pur chased some time before, but without immediately criminet ing any one. The coroner adjourned the investigation, that the contents of the stomach of deceased might be analysed. LITERATURE. The Quarterly Review far April.

Behoe the Lord Mamellor. IN ME SPENCI.-1110MT TO THU CUSTODY OY COIL DABN.—JURISDICTION.—This appeal motion, to discharge an order made by the Vice Chancellor of England, directing Mr. James Davidson and Mr. William Newby, both residing at Stockton-on. Tees, to restore to their father his three in fant children, was partly argued last Saturday. The facts were these: Mr. Spence was married in 1839. In 1842 he became a Ronan Catholic, having been until then a Pro testant. Mrs. Spence continued a Protestant, • and considering her husband disqualified by his change of religion, and for other reasons, from having the cus tody and care of their children (then only two, the third born since), she left him, taking the children with her, and he had not been for some time able to discover her and their place of concealment. Having lately received information that the wife had been aided and abetted in her conduct by Messrs. Davidson and Newby, the former being her brother, and both being trustees of her settlement snd solicitors, be presented a petition to the court complaining of them, stating that his children were removed by their agency and in their custody or power, and praying that they might be ordered to deliver them up t. him, or that a writ of habeas corpus might be issued for that purpose against them. Such was accordingly ordered by the Vice-Chancellor, and Mesas. Davidson and Newby made a return to it, de nying that the children were taken away by them, or by their agency, or counsel, or that they were in their custody or power. Upon that return an application was made thereon; and on the petition to the Vice-Chancellor, his Honour made an order on the said parties to deliver up the children within a given time, or to be committed to prison. This is the order under appeal. Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Torriano were heard in support of the appeal motion, and Mr. Rolt, contra, last Saturday.—Mr. Martindale, with Mr. Rolt, was now heard, and atter stating the circumstances, he, in order to meet one of the objections taken by the appellant's counsel to the jurisdiction on petition, cited several authorities to show that it was not at all necessary to file a bill in the case of infants claimed by their faker, but that the petition of the father gave the court jurisdiction to order their produc tion. Among other cases he cited the Earl of Shaftesbury's cue (2 Poore Williams, p. 1181.-eri a , • Mr. Parker, in reply mustedlirtide g on "ez parte Hopkins' (3'PestreWilllermitsinCban cellor King, after declarin: .1a . is to the t it custody of his children, s ' L'i . c , * ••••11 'IOU in a summary way, by petitio .f . . 7 • • • clialbetig filed, deliver them over to the IL : ' - ik .. 070thatike : • •on mere petition order .. •. • - 2'll - - • • que trust.
