Ithinthe the &het exists it ought equally to be moth& The Rouse of Commons must neoestearily obis a large properties of mediocrity. It is those v be ha below the standard of mediocrity whom we wish to see excluded from its ranks. fleece and England are both playing a very foolish aid unw orthy game in Greece, distracting the Greeks mid rendering them and their government unfit and incapable of administering or attending duly to its internal and proper affairs ; and, at the same time, bath countries losing their interests, and dignity, and t a mper, in a struggle for what is really not worth a aubUll to either. Paramount influence at Athens—what under heaven is it worth to either France or England ? What political combinations could a Greek alli ance effect or disturb? What is to be gained, but obloquy and trouble, for obtaining entire possession of King OTHO'S ear? What use can M. PISCATORY, the French envoy, make of this advan tage, now that he has gained it ? None, except to disgrace himself and France by upholding a knot of ignorant ruffians, who display in their administration the skill and humanity of so many butcher's boys. Doss M. PisetTOßY approve of this? No; but these are the only friends we leave him in Greece ; and so he abets and upholds them, from the preposterous vanity of outstripping Sir EDMUND LYONS ID the rue of influence. What is it to us whether Greece be governed by moderate or by exalted placemen ? What is Greece, bet a group of pastoral valleys and fishing villages, very well calculated to gevern themselves if left to themselves ? But given a kin g . and a court, and told that theirgovernment weighs in the politics of Europe, and must take part in them, the pastors and the fishermen assume to be European statesmen, and look to European diplomacy to make them so. European diplomacy does this by bribing some, flittering others, awakening ambition, and creating a feverish world of politics in Athens, which naturally should have no existence there. The greatest boon to Athens and Greece would be to ostracize its too clever diplomatic body, let King Orno sleep quietly, General Coteerr drill his petticoated police, and allow the Klepht who swaggers through the street of Athens, to go home and mind his flock, or scratch the earth more effec tively for a little corn. Greece is a spoiled child, told to run before it can walk, and set on horseback with a sceptre in its hand merely on the strength of its having had some doughty ancestors , instead of being left in the arms of its nurse. The beet thing that could befall Greece would be Europe's forgetting it, and its forgetting Europe, getting rid of its diplomatic body and their preposterous fuse, and, instead of discussing war budgets and civil lists and church establishments, con descending to do the business, more necessary and more fit, of vestries and municipal councils. The best and greatest of countries have had their infancy of freedom, their oblivion of political inte rests, their quiet development of industrial resources. And this is what Greece wants, and what we should allow it. Nor need we be so very anxious about its esjoying all the lesser boons of freedom, whether of the person or the press : these will come in time, or, if they come too soon, will be made no good use of. We seem to stickle a great deal for purity and in dependence of election in Greece. Have we ever yet secured it at home? We east it up as a terrible crime to Coterrt to have falsified the elections, and carried them by intimidation. Lord JOHN MANNERS cannot forgive the Greek premier for this. Let the noble lord look at home, or wait till next July, to see how the representation of a great country is to be falsified by bribery, and intimida tion, and unblushing falsehood, under the regime of the Reform Bill. Coterri's conduct has been very bad; he himself is a very ignorant man ; but he was one of those who acquired eminence in the great revolution. The Greeks themselves allotted him that eminence. N. Goizor took him as he found him, and has made a good instrument of him. This is quite evident, from the time during which Ito has held power, and the skill with which he keeps it. We infinitely prefer MAVROCORDATO and the liberal and civilian party in Greece. But we deprecate strongly the keeping up a continued and active war of rivalry and spite in Greece, for no purpose but to show our own feebleness and blundering, and to excite very dangerous and disagreeable collisions and differences, like that at present pending between King Onto and the SULTAN. Grecian politics ar o, in reality, child's play, and might, as such, interest ns. Bat that Grecian politics should stir our resentment, or impel our foreign secretary to write angry notes, or prompt us to I avenge diplomatic discomfiture by dunning for our oney, as an offended tradesman might do, this strikes us as undignified, impolitic, and improper. Sir EDMUND LYONS should be recalled. He main tains an unequal fight. Every other influence at Athens is marshalled against him, except the opinion of independent and liberal Greeks ; and as you might put such Greeks in a nutshell, Sir EDMUND LYONS is, of course, in Coventry. The French envoy flatters the court, pays for it the interest of the loan, appoints and upholds the prime minister, and in this strong position is supported by Austrian and Russian, and Prussian envoys, all of whom are terrified by the bugbear of liberalism which Sir EDMUND LYONS invokee, and which is a shadowy bugbear without substance or reality. Eng lish diplomacy at Athens is a false position, and should retreat from it; for even success would be embarras sing and undesirable. Suppose Cotrrn overthrown, MAVIIOCORDATO water. as he was before,and England chargeable with the good and liberal administering of Greece against all the corrupt rogues of the country and the court to boot ; what should we do ? What chance would even Sir E. LYONS have of founding or accomplishing anything satisfactory? Better far leave Greece to herself, or to France, since France desires it. Greece is of great use to M. OUIZOT —of none to us. M. GUIZOT manages the French Chamber as a nurse manages wilful children—by toys, menacing, and coaxing. Greece is one of the whistles which M. GUIZOT period ically presents to French vanity. While they clamour at him for blunders in Algeria, or failure in Tahiti, the minister draws attention away, and says, "Behold, we are lords of Greece." That is a whistle which never fails to pacify " Young France ;" And in all conscience it would be too much to ask NI. OUIZOT to part with it. Let us then indulge M. OUIZOT with that whistle. He pays dear enough; and be might take one that would prove to us far more annoying. PIRHAPB the most singular point in Thursday'. debate on the defects of our naval construction was, its total want of practical result—it led to nothing. It is true the defects of our navy were pointed out, but not more clearly than they have been annually for the last ten years, in the debates on the Navy Estimates. Our extravagance, our want of system, the defects of our steam-frigates, and the bad quali ties of our ships—the same facts always appear. Accident, more than intention, seems to decide whether a ship shall draw 14 feet water or 13: whether she shall carry stores for six months or only three; whether she shall mount heavy guns or light —many or few : whether she shall bo ser 4ceable like the Terrible, or, at an equal cost (of 100,0001.) and of an equal size, like the Retribution, have to be laid aside from the date of her first trial as totally useless. These facts, it is true, multiply in number on us each year, and so perhaps produce a growing impression on the public mind by their accumulation : bat the general cha racter of our naval construction has been the same for many years. Now and then we chaste to get a ship with rather brilliant qualities. The Queen, for example, built by the Surveyor of the Navy, turns out a fast ship, and as one half of the navy may, • crack ship ; while the Albion and Superb, on the same plan, by the same surveyor, are always last ; and the Albion renders herself remarkable by a faculty of spontaneous rolling, which new and then, even in quiet weather (as was stated by Mr. Hums, and con firmed to us yesterday by one of her own officers), lays her gun-deck sufficiently wider water to inundate the cockpit, and deluge the whole ship. Years merely add to the number of such facts without altering their complexion. One circumstance was remarkable in the debate-- the unanimous hopelesenem of the speakere—the evil is avowed to be past all remedy. There seemed what Mr. Disks= calls "the want of a man i" in which want we generally resat to committees, and so " substitute for the mediocrity of one the mediocrity of many." Each speaker made the darkens' more visible; and in despur the house voted, bye majority of some five to one, that inquiry was aselon, and improvement hopeless. We have looked carefully over the debate of Thursday once more, to see if we could not ex ' tract from it something on which to ground hope of future improvement—to see whether no causes of our put failures were anywhere ex hibited, which might be taken as beacons for the future to keep us out of error, and so lead us to truth. And the first prominent error which strikes us as most grave is the prevailing statement made by the Admi ralty authorities, that in naval construction there are no fixed principles—that it is all matter of opinion or of sailors' fancy. Mr. WARD reiterates in (Twit what he had said on a former evening, that "on the sub ject of ship-building there will be found as great differences of opinion as on religions questions." Re ferring to the plans of construction of Sir W. SYMONDS, Sir J. ORARAM alleged that "except on matters of religion, he did not know any difference of opinion that had been attended with so much bitterness." Again, in one part of the debate, Sir JAMES GRAHAM claims for his protige, the present surveyor, that he did possess science, combined with naval experience. Elsewhere, he tries to depreciate, in the persons of SEYPINGS and INums, that very science which he wished to attribute to SYMONDS ; and, in the endea vour to depreciate science, he tried to prove that IlAves and ELLiorr built good ships without, as he insinuates, much science to guide them. From the tenor therefore of these declarations, made in the House of Commons, both by the representative of the present Lords of the Admiralty, and of the pad, we draw one conclusion—that their lordships believe ship-building to be very much a matter of personal opinion, and that scientific principles, if there be such things, have very little to say to the practical quali ties of ships of the line. Here, then, we have laid our finger on what seems to us one great cause of the present hopeless state of naval construction. Their lordships don't believe the existence of fixed and trustworthy principles in naval construction, and believe it a matter as fluctuating as political or religious opinion. In such circumstances we need not wonder at the s.,rt of despair with which Mr. WARD " hoped there would be a great improvement in naval architecture, but that that improvement was still to come." From the clouds? Either we have fixed principles or we have not. If we have not, then it is not science that is to blame for pest failures, but empiricism •, and we mast seek principles before we can depend on suc cessful practice. If we have, we have only to adopt them and implicitly follow them out. Let us, therefore, inquire for the Admiralty whether there are fixed principles for anything in ship-building or not ? For it is plain that, till we do this, we grope in the dark. _ . . . . Now, we believe that there is one principle in the practice of ship-liuilding that is purely scientific and perfectly unquestionable—we mean the mode of cal culating the displacement and tonnage of a ship, so that she shall carry her load without sinking in the water too deep for usefulness. This we have under stood to be quite unquestionable, to be a principle as old as ARCHIMEDES, for which rules of the most precise nature are laid down in all elementary books, and these rules in the merchant service being every day carried out in practice. The role " that what a ship will carry in weight of hull and lading is precisely the weight of the water which her form in the water displaces," has never been dis puted, and is the first axiom of every ship-builder from ARCHIMEDES to CHAPMAN. Here then is one fixed point of security for the Admiralty. They have a right to demand that at least their ships shall carry the weights and stores and armanent intended, without drawing more water than they were designed for. Bat this is precisely the glaring defect—the cause of half the failures of _ the service. Take the following uncontroverted list from the debate : Gulnare, too deep, very slow ; gave her new engine*, altered her fittings, changed her name, cut her in two and lengthened ; still too deep and very slow ; could not carry coals and stores. Gorgon, too deep, could not carry her guns, ports caulked up, was driven on a lee-shore for want of efficiency. Cyclops, same fault, lengthened ; still too deep, could not carry her guns. Lizard, in danger of sinking; obliged to use lighter guns and fewer stores. Thus, then, it appears, that one great cause of the failures in our naval architecture arises from ignorance or neg lect of that which is not matter of mere opinion, but which is the most completely established pnnciple of ship•bailding, viz., that by calculating before hand the displacement of a ship, you can tell pre cisely what burthen she will carry, and what water she will draw. Until the Lords of the Admiralty, who are, it seems, the only responsible parties, shall know this, and believe in it, and require it, and obtain it, they are neither doing their duty to the service, nor discharging their responsibility to the public. We have thus supplied one test of their knowledge and of the efficiency of their servants ; we have extracted one practical result, at least, from Thursday's debate ; we may, perhaps, find another. But until they see this carried into effect they err not in opinion but in principle ; not in ignorance but by perversity. Our letters from Paris of Sunday say that the numerous dissensions between the members of the cabinet which have lately been manifested even on the benches of the chamber, combined with the checks encountered on many questions, such as parliamentary and electoral reform, the sapplies for Algeria, colonial slavery,&c., havegiven circulation to rumours of changes in the ministry. M. H. Busy was spoken of as likely to sueoe M. Lacave-Laplagne in the Ministry of Finance. Count Janne, who vacates the secretary ship at London, will g o, it is said, as minister to Munich, the present minister, Baron do Bourgoing, retiring. The Debate continues its efforts unrelated to urge upon the chambers the necessity of continuing for another year the free importation of provisions ; and it is evident that the cabinet only hesitates in pro- posing that measure from fear of the monopolist opposition. The fete of the king, on Saturday, passed off quietly. Our Paris correspondent received a letter from Malta, dated the 24th ult., at midnight, stating, from information received from Alexandria of the 19th, that the mail from Bombay had not arrived there, and had not even been heard of at Suez. The Flamer was waiting at Malta to bring it to Marseilles. Advice. from Madrid to the 27th inclusive have been received. Reports of a ministerial change con tinued to circulate, and the cabinet under General Narrate and M. Salamanca wu thought probable. A meeting of the Moderados bad been held, and another was expected to take place, at which a managing commi tt ee would be appointed. The com mittee on the project for the sale of the city estates (prop** bad adjourned for a few days, to give an opportunity to the Minister of Finance to supply the documents which it had required. It was said that a party in the chamber, led by MM. Cortina, Lujan, and others, would offer a strong opposition to this law. The cabinet had not clearly manifested its inten tion, but it wu believed by some that, to avoid a serious parliamentary conflict, it would present in congress no laws except those on the budget and the press ; and it would the% move an adjournment. In this way, the risk of a parliamentary opposition would be evaded, at least for the present. The government had received intelligence that the Porta gum government had declined any intervention on the part of Spain, intimating that it had thrown itself entirely on England. ITALY.—Roux, APRIL 22.—As previously an nounced, the 2,590 th anniversary of the foundation of Rome wu celebrated at that city on the 21st, by a grand banquet in the Guns di Tito, which was &Maid by about 800 eitizens, of all clams and ages. After the repast speeches were made, muss recited, sad national hymns sung. At issassnsa tenconne of people was mesembled b witness the ceremony, at which the greatest order prevailed.

GERMANY.—Pfludoik. —BRIMS, APRIL 30. SUSION OP THIS Toni. ESTATES APRIL 27 .— The mar shal of the diet proposed that precedence should be given to the discussion of a report hem the sixth committee, on the best means of counteracting the excessive dearness of pro visions. The deputy Leasing objected, on the ground that members had not had time to read the report. M. Haase mann proposed that the sitting should be suspended for half an hour, to give them time to read it. M. Outetedt thought it would be sufficient if the report were read aloud. The lat ter opinion prevailed. The report was accordingly read. It recommended a temporary prohibition, till the elose of next harvest, of the exportation of potatoes to any state not included in the Zollverem, from the provinces of Brandenburg, Pomerania, and Saxony absolutely; from the other provinces, it the presideat of each should deem such a measure advisable. As usual, the Deems isebe Striate Zeitung, of the 30th, contains only part of the debate which ensued. M. Grunsu (from Riling) op- posed the recommendations on general grounds. M. Gade gast held the same line of argument, and recommended instead loans by the state to the suffering clamor, M. Neu mann opposed the proposition, on the ground that it was uncalled for. inasmuch as no exportation could take piano before the next harvest. The Royal Commissary replied to the last-named speaker, that government had received intimation that preparations were making for exports on a large scale. M. Wangler re curred to the proposal of loans, and was met by the com missary with the representation that government having already suspended the odroi in favour of the suffering classes, was not in • condition to make advance.. M. Wielder complained of the injurious effects such a prohibition would have on the Baltic pr.:miaow the nterehants • there had im ported more provisions from Russia than they had entered into contracts to export, and anything that prevented them fulfilling their contracts would permanently injure their commerci al relation. M. Spoiling (burgomaster of Kiiiiigsbeig) raised • doubt as to the competence of the united diet to legislate for only three provinces; this was set aside by Id. Von Bodelschwing. Baron Von Auerswald spoke is favour of the prohibition. Id. Diergardt expreued a doubt whether the Custom-house officers on the frontiers were numer ous enough to prevent the exportation of potatoes. Mr. Finance Councillor Kiihne met this remark by quoting an official report from the Director of Customs at Cologne, affirming the efficiency of the Custom-house forams for the suppression of smuggling. The last speaker reported is M. Diergardt in reply, who spoke outside the tribune, "because the marshal of the diet would not allow him to enter it on account of his being out of order." Investigations respecting the disturbances are con tinued with great activity. It is said that among the persons arrested are many students from the Gymnasium. For the satisfaction of the citizens whom property has lately received so much injury, it is proper to observe that a commissioe consisting of magistrates, have visited the persons se injured at their own houses, where they have made an estimate of the loss incurred. The estimates, amounting in the whole to a sum by no means inconsiderable, are to be made good to the bakers and other persons from the coffers of the munici- Pelirt• POMERANIA, STerms, APRIL 25.—The following are further particulars respecting the riot at Stettin The military, not being able to quell the riot, and the soldiers and officers being pelted with mud and stones, it was at length totted necessary to fire, by which several persons were wounded, and two killed. The violence of the noters surpasses all belief. A drummer was attacked by two fel lows, and so dreadfully ill-treated that he died soon after wards ; the perpetrators unfortunately escaped. Some fears of incendiary tires were entertained, so that patrols of the citizens and military have paraded the streets during the whole night. In the morning the garrison was reinforced by detachmente of troops and cavalrySrom Pon end Pasewalk. STRAUSBERO, APRIL 25.—The Berliniacken Zeitung gives accounts of excesses committed in this town, where poverty and want exist to • fearful degree. Oa the 24th the people of the town assembled in the marketplace, and attacked the peasantry, who had come to vend their goods, and appropriated the latter to their own use. The military and patrols of citizens tried to restore order, but had not suc ceeded in doing so. At Eilenburg, also, riots took place, and a house stored with corn was burned down. The corn merchants had their stores plundered, and their persons more or lees maltreated, and the butter and egg venders shared the same fate. The ringleaders have been arrested. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-ODER. —Serious corn riots have also taken place in this town. The Cologne Gazette, which states the fact, gives few details. Threatening letters had been sent to the authorities, signed, " The Starving." At Custrin also the greatest excitement was caused by the increase in the price of provisions. BADEN.—CARLSRUHE, APRIL 22.—The Gazette of the 21st contains a decree, by which the duty on the ex portation of wheat and pulse is fixed at 12 florins per maker, and that of rye and maize at 10 Soria.. BREMEN, APRIL 24.—1 t has been decided by the assembly of proprietors, in conjunction with the senate, to build at Breinerhafen a second dock, calculated to aceom modate reamers of la_rge rase. The cost will be 625,300 dialers. BAVARIA. —NUREMBERG, APRIL 28.—Serious disturbances took place at Nuremberg on the 27th. Two houses, belonging to men accused of being grain burden, were attacked and greatly damaged by the populace. The troops were called oat, and the cavalry charged to clear the streets. A barricade was then thrown up on one of the bridges and the cavalry . was met with a shower of ewer. At midnight all was seemingly quiet, but patrols paraded the streets; 61 persons were arrested. A royal rescript of the 19th forbids the fabrication from potatoes of brandy and vinegar in Bavaria. The dis tillation of brandy from potatoes and grain has also been forbidden in Saxony. I)ENMARK.—KIEL, APRIL 25.—With the in crease in the price of provisions, the distress of the lower dames bas become so great, that the Society of Friends of the Poor has considered some extraordinary resources neces sary, and has therefore assigned 5,000 marks out of the existing excess of the savings' bank, to supply the poor inha bitants with rye flour and bread at reduced prices. TURK EY.—CONSTANTINOPLE.—In addition to the intelligence given in the letterset our Levant correspondents, the Debate gives additional news of the sant• • from Greece and Turkey. The Prussian minister, it says, had given his adhesion to the views of Mr. Wellesley. Despatches from Prince Metternich also prepared the Divan for the defi nitive accession of Austria to the same views. Mr. Wellesley had declared that the British cabinet considered the protec tive functions of the powers in regard to Greece to have ceased upon the accession of King Otho, and that the claims of England, and the demand of the Ottoman Porte, arising out of diplomatic quarrel, must be settled between the nations and the cabinet of Athens, without mama te any other power. For many reasons, arising not of the own peculiar policy, it was expected that Buda would adhere to the views of the other ministers, and take the part of the Divan 'spinet the cabinet of Athens, in rakish case the cabinet of the Tuileries would hold an belated peti tion on this queetioa. The conduct of the astisseities at Constantinople towards Greek subjects sines the s. of the functions of M. Argyropuloe has bees muk2 8 4 16 tre , most scrupulous equity, so that not the slightest g= di el complaint has been afforded to call for dipismatie tion.

THE REGTEITRATION OF VOTERS' BILL.—(From a correspondent.)—This bill stands for second reading to morrow (Wednesday). It is a complete tery bill, brought in by .dr. Walpole, Mr. Newdegate, and Lord Saudon, giv ing 111 possible protection to fictitious claims. If the bill panes into a law, any monied landed proprietor can secure • county, by sending in claims for all his hedgers and ditchers, servants and dependent tenants, setting forth in their claim a semblance of a qualification, when, in reality, they have not • shadow of a real title to one. They can only be objected to in one polling district, out of perhaps eight or ten in a county, so that nothing will be more easy than to select a hundred, or a thousand or two names of persons, who can be made to vote at an election. Bend in a claim for them in two or more polling districts. The overseers must insert the names in the list of voters, under • penalty of 1001., and then only one out of the three polling districts sun be objected to unless yon have three objectors, and &pelt 7.. 6d., and run the risk if having to pay 61. costa to one voter from the lists. Formerly, a shilling was paid u with the claim, which kept some check upon fictitious claims, but ' that was thought to he restricting the franchise. The bill is objectionable in making an invidious distinction of voters,— " the proved voter" and the registered voter. We think that every person should in the first instance prove hie queli fication, and when once rightly on the register, the laws now in force are quite sufficient to protect the voter from annoy ance. We trust the bill will meet the fate it deserves. INNER TEMPLE, MAY 3.—The following gentlemen were called to the bar by the Hon.

All the army that had bees expended had been for the benefit and rapport of the meted nghta of the inha bitants ; and item. restitution wan made to them for the lees they would enstaia by the removal, he did not believe that the corporatism, as a body, would oppose it —The Chair man observed that Mr. Anderton had said quite enough to show what banefal cor.sequances resulted from the present system of driving sad crowding; and he thought that if they had on their aide the farmers and graziers, sad not even the corporation itself to oppose, they had little to fear from the opposition of the salesmen and dr,ivers.—Mr. Shaw moved two resolution—one, that the removal of the cattle market from its present situation was highly desirable ; and another, that the change of market-day from Monday to Tuesday would also be desirable. These were seconded and carried; and the chairman announced that there was a petition in I favour of the removal lying at the club for signature. WESLEYAN METHODIST MISSIONARY SOCIETY.— The annual meeting of this society was held yesterday at Exeter-hall. The chair was taken by Sir Culling Studley Smith, Bart. The report of the committee gave an account of the progress made by their agents in Ireland, the coun tries of the continent, Ce)lun and Continental India, Aso trail= and Polynesia, Southern and Western Africa, with their present condition and future prospects. rt: of the missionaries had returned to recruit their strength In their native country, and six had died. Twenty-five new missionaries had been sent abroad to reinforce the missions, I which on the whole had met with an average success. The income of the society during the year 1846 amounted to 116,7621. 3s. 2d., sad the expenditure to 111,534!. Be. Bd. ; which including the pre.ecling year's balance of 7661. 14s. 104., left 4,9941. 9s. 4& in the hands of the treasurer. The income of the year showed an increase of 2,8381. 13e. Bd. over that of the preceding one, The increase on the home receipts was 2,0671. 15s. H. The receipts from foreign auxiliaries on the mission stations were 11,7881. thi. &X, being an increase of 1191. Is. 104. And the miscellaneous receipts in the form of colonial grants, lega cies, dividends, new donations on annuity for life, &c., bad amounted to 9,7901. 3s. 104. ; being an increase of 6561. 16s. Id. on that item for the year. In consequence of the improvement of their financial affairs, the committee considered it desirable to appoint a second missionary to the Gibraltar station and also to commence a mission to China —and pared re solutions accordingly. They did not, how ever, disguise from themselves the difficulties which would attend the commencement of the latter project, and thought that they might be considered ea having the object in con templuson rather than as proceeding to its accempliehment immediately. The general luminary of all the present Wesleyan missions was as follows: Central or prin cipal station, called circuits, occupied by the society in various pa rts of the world. 294. Chapels and other preaching places at the stations, 2,597. Missionaries and assistant missionaries ' including eight supernumeraries, 417. Other paid agents, as catechists, interpreters, day school teachers, &c., 771. lUnplid agents, as Sabbath school teachers, &c., 7,074. Full and accredited church members, 102,330. On trial for church membership, as far as asccr ta=ed, 4,116. Scholar,, deducting for those who Wasp both the day and Sabbath schools, 72,000. Priatiog esta blishments, 8. Several resolutions of a formal nature were then adopted, and the proceeding* terminated. THE MEDICAL REGISTRATION BILL.—A meeting of legally qualified medical practitioners was held last night at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose of taking effective measures for ensuring the passage of the Medical Registration Bid through parliament. Dr. lAnkester, F.1t.8., was voted into the chair. Several resolutions were pared, by which the meeting pledged itself to use every effort in is power to ensure the success' of that measure. An inenential committee having been appointed, end • subscription entered into, the meeting adjourned. MR. BONN AND JENNY LIND.—An action has been commenced by Mr. Bunn in the Court of Queen's Bench against Jenny Lind, for an alleged breach of con tract, and on Friday tart an appearance to the writ of sum. mows, a few days previously issued, was entered by • soli citor on the part of the defendant. The next proceeding will be the declaration, in which the plaintiff will estimate his damages. Sir F. Kelly and Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., have been retained for Mr. Bunn. The cause cannot be tried until the sittings after Trinity Terns, commencing the middle of July. CAN A SHERIFF BECOME AN M.P. P—Sir,—Will you allow me to mention a rather curious point that occurred to my mind on reading in the Express, the other day, that Hr. Oubitt,the eminent engineer, who is • candidate for the representation of the borough of Andover at the next ge neral elect ion, is likely to be nominated and elected one of the sheriffs of the City of I.andon on Midsummer-day. You are aware thet in every writ sent to a sheriff commanding the election of a member of parliament, there is a passage which runs in nearly the following terms " Willing, nevertheless, that neither you nor any otht r sheriff shall be elected." Now if it should so happen that Mr. Cubitt is elected sheriff of London (and, as a consequence, one of the sheriffs of Middlesex) on Midsummer-day next, though he might net be sworn in till Michaelmas, I apprehend'be would be db. qualified from being elected a member of parliament frost Illidlimmuer, 1847, to Michaelmas, 1848; and, therefor*, mil wet be a candidate at any election that may take place between these periods.--N. H. DECIMAL CURBENCY.—SIII,—AIIom one, through par paper, and in answer to many communications with which I have been favoured, to state the outline of the plan which I submitted to the Mouse of Commons, on the intro. &SSW of a decimal system of currency and account. It i sms mysitject to iaterf re as little as possible either with the taaw er values of the existing coins, and to show that by divlslingthepound sterling into 1,000 tarthingsAnd issuing two new silver coins, one to represent the one-tenth, and tke other the one-hundreth part of the pound, we obtain a perfect gold and silver decimal currency. The alteration in the eepper coinage would be to the extent of the fourth of one hundred, the farthing being now the one nine hundred and six tieth instead of the one-thousandth part of a pound sterling. As the new coins, which I propose to call queens, are about to be issued, representing the one-tenth of a pound, or 25., the coin repreeenting the one-tenth of 2s. (or 2 4-Iod.)is alone wanting. Our currency will then stand thus : Present wane. In account. a. d. Farthings. 0016—see n . revreeenting 1000 tlOOO Half4evreig. n 69ver.--Crown Kaltuown 3. 111 123 Queen Sixpence 4.10 „ 10 ...

CASTLE AND THE TOWN.—A bill 14 about to'be ittroduced into the House of COMOISES by Viscount Morpeth, for the purpose of empowering the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to carry into effect some most extemive olterat:ons and improvements, long contemplated, in the approaches to the Castle and town of Windsor, in order to ensure, amongst other things, greater privacy to the court while residing at the Castle. From the very extensile* nature of the contem plated improvements, involving the pureliase or great number of houses and the expense of buildibg two new bridges across the Themes, it is stated that the grant of • sum considerably exceeding 150,000/. will he required to carry the wholer into effect. The following is a description of the alterationh as appmeed by her Majesty : A bridge is to be construct it strum the Thames at Hatchet, from en eyot, known as Black Potts,•to the north end of the home-park ; a public road to be made amnia this portion of the park, leading from the bridge into.

In lieu of these a new road is to tie made from the Sheet-street-road, across or under the Long walk, proceeding through Shaw and Clay-hall farms, at the back of From:more-house and the new royal kitchen gardens, to Old Windsor and Brehm. By this altera tion Frogmore-house and grounds, acd the" Cast& and Home-park will be within what maybe termed "a ring fence." A new road is to be made front Old Windsor across a field, the property of the crown, near the Nelson Inn, in the present . Frosmore.read, down to the river, where the second bridge is to be cos strumed to the opposite bank in the panehtif Hatchet. From this bridge a new road is to be mate through the Earl of Harewood's property to Southley Howe, near the village of Hatchet. A new road is to be mole along the north bank of the Thames, leading from tho village to Black Potts, where it will form a junction with the Nest in tended new bridge above referred to.
