ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. Yesterday evening a meeting of the shove society we held at Albemarle-street, Sir Rummies: Me neitteaft is the chair. 'the principal point of interest was the state ment of Captain Donald Bentsen with respect to the pro gress of the fitting out et an expedition under his corn mead, which is shortly about to depart in search of Sir John Franklin and hie party. After the despatch of the usual betimes of the society, daring which several new members were elected, Captain Herstaun was introduced, who, in a very plain sailor-like Manner, read a report which entered very muck Ws the details of the construction of the Tee s& to be employed in the expedition. He said that his set out with provisions fur fire years, which with essonessy might be made to last for seven years, and expected 011 lei coals at Callao for the purpme of steaming. They carried out with them an iron alphabet for the purpose of learning the name of the vessel he commanded upon any drift wood or other suitable substauce that came in their way. If Sir John Franklin hail gone further than the 130th deg. of latitude, and he should he so unfortunate as not to Mad him, and should still be so fortunate as , to return, be should be consoled by the consciousness of having done his duty. Sir Roderick Muehi• eon kwiot,d to the map and marked the limit. in which Sir John Franklin and kis:party were most likely to be found. Mr. Spewed then read a report upon the I abundance of animal life in the supposed neighbourhood of Sir John Franklin's expedition. lie alluded to the quantity of game obtained by former expeditions, and spoke of the exploits of the parties under the command of Capt. Penny and Capt. Rues, and others, and concluded a most , favourable account (supposing only that sour adamantine.. navigators hail a sufficiency of powder and shot.) The president, Sir It. Slurchison, then explained and pointed out upon the map the several points of interest I connected with the site and the projected expeditions. He Said that from the abundance of game that it was more than probable that Sir John Franklin's party still existed ; that Melville Island, Arellington Sound, and Victoria , Channsl abounded in game, and that if only fortunate upon the average 17 lbs. of meat might be daily served out per man. That the islands where they were supposed to winter were not colder, but rather warmer than the adjoining main land. That Etighshnien donut, like the Esquimau*, " eat to sleep, and sleep to eat," and therefore it was more than ',rub that Sir J. Franklin's party would not have lost heart, but would persevere as long as it was possible fur human nature to hold out. ilxit the mortality in all preceding expsalitions had been very small—chiefly from inherent disease, and nut from the climate. Mr. WIIITE said that it was nets-nary to keep up the in terest of the public with reliant to these expeditions, but he wee sorry to say that few seemed to care fur it, and he re gretted that Captain Ideation's projected attempt had not met with more sympathy. That the abundance of game and the net . ssity ur hunting would keep up the spirit of the crews, which was a great fact in these and similar ex peditions. Lieut. Per here offered a few observations, in which he stated that he could es, speak as to the abundance of ve getable life. There were eight species of berry, and a root much ri rumbling the potato, an excellent remedy against *curvy ; on the Asiatic side an abundance of driftwood; and, from the presence of the Esquimau: in the neighbour hood, cloth-a would he ensile procurable. Mr. KANE, in some remarks upon the American expedi tion, said the question of food was almost subordinate; that although Captain Beaton set out with only two little vends, yet the importance of the expedition must not be underrated; little vessels, especially in such expeditions, had often been more successful than larger ones. Sir Runtime Me SICIIIIIOS ' in a few observations upon the preccilimi remarks, said that amongst other things the public oug.it to be informed that the great want was the want of money. It would not be right to let Captain Beld am, who had originated the expedition, to ruin himself. He hoped, therefore, that the necessity of supporting him is his arduous uudertaking would go forth to the world. (Here he cool] not help remarking the scanty attendance, scarcely fifty members being present.) Mr. Itoiteier PUILLIPS proposed the erection of frame houses every ten miles • but The Passions/ begged, with great deference, to differ with bm. There were many naval men present, and he had grout confidence in their judgment, and in that of those who had hitherto conducted the Arctic exerdieon. Dr. Cutters had great confidence in the mond courage of Sir John Franklin, and telt quite assured that he would not return till he had achieved the objects of his cape dition. Atter this two papers were read—.l,st° Travels in South Western and South Eastern Africa," by Mr. Garsiot, and one on the " Clarification of Water Sheds," by the Rev. C. 0 :Cleolay. SPORTING.

The heavies; of this appeal, which occupied the house several days last week, was now concluded. It is an appeal from certain interlocutors pronounced by the Lord Ordinary Wood, and by the first division of the Court of Session in Scotland, in conjoined actions of decimator and suspension and interdict betwceu the appellants, trustees of the harbour of Dund , e incorporated by statute 11 George IV., e. 119, and William Stark Dougall, of Scotecnigi Esq., raised for the purpose of having a judicial determination of the right lief the appellants to levy dues at Ferry-fort-on-Craig, situ lied within the precincts of that harbour, in so far as these eittse had been impugned on the part of the respondent. h Solicitor-General, Mr. Bethel), and Mr. Anderson were for the appellants; Mr. Belt, and Mr. MoncriEff of the Scottish bar, for the respondents. The Solicitor-General having concluded his reply, The Lord Chancellor, in moving the judgment of the house, said this was an appeal from a decision against the appellants, the trustees of the harbour of Dundee, in favour of the owner of Ferry-port-on-Craig, so far as the right claimed by the trustees to levy dues on ships loading and unloading at the latter harbour. The question properly before the house was not whether the defender, Mr. Dou gall, has or has not the right of free port and harbour, but whether the trustees of the harbour of Dundee had the right or not to levy dues thereon. Although the question had been stencil oo very extensive grounds, it appeared to him to lie in a very narrow compass. The trustees, who claimed under the corporation of Dundee, rested their title on old charters, which gave them free port and harbour rights within the limits of the harbour extending for a distance up the Tay of about 12 miles on the north and south sides of the river ; and it was not denied that Ferry port-on-Craig is within these limits on the south aide. le the court below the respondent's case ultimately rested on a double claim. In the first place, he said the trustees had no right to pursue him, because from time immemorial vessels hail been in the habit of loading and unloading at Ferry-port-on-Craig, and there was constant communication between that place and Dundee. It was, therefore, con tended that it was utterly impossible that the trustees iould be ignorant of what was constantly taking place there. The second defence was of a different character, as Mr. Dougull asserted that he had not only a port but that be hail a right of free port. The Lord Ordinary made an interlocutor which invoiced the two questions. Ile found, first, the limits of the harbour as stated, and that the trustees of the harbour of Dundee hail the right of free port and harbour within these limits without prejudice to any right which might be " instructed" by the defender, and he also found that Ferryport-on-Craig ass within:the limits of the harbour of Dundee. The Inner Division of the Court of Session had not interfered with that interlocutor, except in so far as they recalled the finding that defender had not produced any title which ex pressly confined on him, his predecessors, or authors, any ht of harbour or free-port at Ferry-port-on-Craig. That so, two issues were prepared. The first was, whether he prior to August, 1844, or for time immemorial, W Mabsar of Ferry-port-on-Craig had been used for receiv ing ships and vessels, and for the loading end unloading of worms shipped and =shipped thereat, without the trustees levying may dues on the said ships or cargoes; it being admitted that Mr. Dougall had right to the town and lands and to the haven and harbour, and ferry of Ferry port-on- Craig. The second issue was as to Mr. Dos ell's right to sire-port. The trusties were advised, in order to save expense, to admit the first issue as tact found by a jury. The Inner Division thereupon found that the trustees had no right to interfere with the rights, or alleged rights, of Mr. Dougall. The intention of that decision was not to establish Mr. Dougall's claim of right to • free harbour, but only to absolve him front the claim which the harbour trustees of Dundee had set up to levy dues at Ferry-port on-Craig. A great deal of discussion had taken place on the point, whether this was a positive or a negative prescription. The law of Scotland was very much Embarrassed by these terms, but they were not intro duced into the act of parliament. The act of 1617 is ems of the simplest acts of parliament ever paned, which " he who runs may read." It is an act which applies only to inheritable rights, and its leading provision is that where there is permission for 40 years the title shall be good against the whole world—that is to say, that if there is no thing ex facie bail no extrinsic matter can he br.ught agaiust it. It was intended to operate as all statutes of limitation ere intended to operate, and was directed to one of the best objects to which a legislature can direct its attention—namely, to give quiet possession, and prevent claims tieing set up at distant periods of time. All well regulated countries have enactments of this kind ; and this act of 1617 was the prescriptive act or statute of limitations of Scotland. It was thereby provided that on a question of inhesitable right 40 years possession should operate is bar any claim. Sweeping away all subtle distinctions, it appeared to him that never was there a right of a mire dis tinct nature. These rights appeared to him to depend on negative prescription, and much of the argumeut was inap plicable. If the cla im had been of a different nature—if, fin enalea this _respondent bad set up a claim to the bar /meld lies-ollie NEM have understood a greet deal of the Sigentenie as le ; but nobody disputed that pink _end lie mat was only defending himself against thedonef lOW the harbour trustees.

The case wee cone on to be beard ou appeal from the decree of the Master of the Bolls dissuissiug the bill with costs. Mr. Roundel' Palmer sad Mr. Slice, for the plaintiff, contended that the English directon were the trustees or agents of the company, and were not justified, without the sanction of the company, in returning the deposits. They were, therefore, liable to replace so much of the company's funds as they bed thus improperly applied. Mr. Bethel', Mr. Wilcock, and Mr. Amphlett, for the defendant Jackson, contended that prior to the retire ment of Jackson and Graham, the committee of manage ment had sanctioned and adopted the transaction com plained of by the bill, and that the payment in question was allowed for in the balance submitted and passed at the half-yearly general meeting of the company. This, indeed, might be inferred from an allegation on the face of the bill, that the company had always conducted its affairs according to the rules of the company, one of which required such half-yearly meetings to be held for the purpose of settling the accounts. Mr. Matins and Mr. Bovill, for the assignees of Graham, took the name line of argument. Lord Justice Knight Bruce, in delivering the judgment of the court, maid that, whether upon the question of right or the question of remedy, the law of Belgium or that of England was to be regarded, the suit appeared to be ill founded. According to the law of Belgium, it ap peared that the plaintiff was incompetent to sue for the relief asked by the bill ; and accord ing to the law of England, a case had neither been proved nor alleged, which would entitle the plaintiff to proceed on behalf of the shareholders; but, according to that law, a different body ought to sue. The pleadings and evidence also showed that, more than a twelvemonth before the filing of the bill, an account had been stated and settled between the managing body and the defendants Jackson and Graham ; and that 'statement, if true, which they could not doubt, must be considered as destructive of thst,plaintif s case. There appeared also, on looking into the case, to be et least one more ground fatal to the suit. Enough, however, had been said to show that the appeal must be dismissed with costs. Wean e. Tea DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTERDAY. 10111 4K. WI MIPAION /A (.AM. Tar CIRATER COUNTY COUNT. Mr. Commissioner lAw, on the 13th February, made • remark on the practice of hearing the coos of insolvent prisoners, by the Chester County Court judge, once only in every four months. In ron.equebee of the observation appearing in the newspapers, Mr. Hurl n, the judge, com plained to the learned commissioner, and • correspondence had taken place, to which the learned 00111IIIMIOSeT now alluded. It seemed that Mr. Harden had understood the eoutmisaioner to impute to him that he was disobeying an act of parliament in only sitting fur insolvent prisoners once in four months. Ile declared that his sittings were regu lated in such matters by the purest motives, and requested, after one or two letters, • public explanation, which the learned commissioner was willing to give, acquitting the learnod judge of disobeying an act of parliament, and giving him credit for the purest motives. Still, he (Mr. Commissioner Law) was of opinion that sitting once in four months to hear the cues of insolvent prisoners, could not and ought not to satisfy the expectations of the legislature. It was true there we, no legislative enactment on the subject, but County Courts were required to sit once a month for other matters, and when the Commissioners went the circuit, three circuits in the year were held, and when the justices of the peace heard the cues, eight sittings in the year was held at Chester. His Honour expressed his opinion on the matter, and hell Mr. Harden to bring his argument before the public why ho should only sit once in four months to boat poisoners. RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a claim for the specific performance of an alleged contract, entered iuto in April, 1847, by the company to take any portion of the plaintiff's land within the limit of their deviation, not exceeding in quantity 8 acres, and to pay for ouch land, and for consequential damage, the sum of 4,500/., in consideration of which the plaintiff on his part was to abandon his opposition to the company's bill in parliament. The Iplaintiff accordingly ceased to oppose the bill, which was in due time obtained The company however afterwards fell into difficulties, and abandoned the making the railway. The compulsory poorer of taking laud given to the company by their act had been allowed to expire, and the land was now ao longer re quired. It appeared that the company bad entered upon the land only for the purpose of taking surveys and kvele, but that they had not otherwise intertered with it. The ease came on by way of appeal from the decision of Vice- Chancellor Turner, who had decreed a specific performance of the agreement. Lord Justice Lord Cranworth delivered the judgment of the court, observing that it was not clear—the wording of the agreement being that the 4,5001. was to be paid before entering upon the land for the purposes of the railway, otild, the railway having keen abandoned—whether there was any contract at all. Assuming, however, for the purpose of the argument, and for that only, that the con tract was such as the plaintiff contended for, yet it was the a, b, c of the doctrine of this court that the remedy by specific performance would only he given where by that remedy more complete justice would be done to the party claiming the aid of the court. In the case before the court, however, ho thought a decree for specific performance would be doing injustice, rather than forwarding the ends of justice. By leaving the plaintiff to his aemedy at law, he would be put to chew the validity of the contract, and the fact that a breach of it had been committed by the defendants by omit ting to select to take the eight acres and to commit COMP quential damage. 'laving done this, the amount of damage would have to be estimated upon a consideration of all the circumstances of the case. By that means justice could be done. Whereas, by a decree for specific performance an injustice might be done, by obliging the defendants to pay 4,500/. fur that which they had not taken, and which they now could never take. The court was therefore of opinion that the plaintiff, even assuming the contract to be such as he contended for, had • ready means of obtaining redress in a court of law, end that to that redress he ought to be left. The bill therefore would be dismissed, without prejudice to any question. Lord Justice Knight Bruce said, that the observations of Lord Cranworth were to be considered as those of the court. Ile should only add, that he should base thought the obscurity of the agreement itself a sufficient defence to a claim for specific performance. IMMIX TRI lIAIIIII Or TA 20LIA. BELL O. TEE LONDON AND NORTH WEET/11:4 RAILWAY COMTANT AND °TURN& The hearing of this cause, which was commenced on Fri day, was resumed. Plaintiff is the registered public °Sou of the National and Provincial Bank of England, and the de fendants are Mr. Watkins, the Secretary of the Loudon and North Western Railway Compeny, and the league's of Mr. Thomas Buries, a bankrupt. The object of the bill was to recover from the railway company a sum of 4,0001., which the banking company claimed to be equitably entitled to. It appeared that Burton entered into a contract with the railway company, in 1846, to construct a portion of the branch railway between Rugby and Stamford, the contract price being 107,8601. The company was to pay at the end of every month for such portion of the work done as was certificated by the company's engiseer, deducting one tenth, which was to be reserved by them until one year after the completion of the contract, for which period Burton was to keep the line in repair. Burton, in order to procure capital to carry on the works, assigned to the bank the payments he was from time to time to receive , _ in order to swam le them an advance of 4,0001. ; and Barton gays as order ea Mr. Watkins, the secretary of the railway , ha these words: "You will oblige me by plaits the that may become due on my wafts* No. I, es the Regby and Stamford Rail .leis tho Nademel sal Provissial - Bank of Sualand, the bomb, te my 11111100•11 t;" and on the 29th March the oemmy transmitted this order to I the railway company.

This witness also underwent erwat.examination by the prisoner, but the evidence remained us unshaken as that of the former witnesses. . . . . . . - Upon the ra-examination of the witness, he said.—l saw the prisoner's brother after the 11th of December, 18.51, and he said he had given the letter to tho prisoner. In the signature books of customers at our bank I find the name of Charles Clifford, New Stock Exchange. It is in the handwriting of the prisoner, of the date of the 29th of March, 1847. Mr. .1. Saunders, a pay cashier in the bank, said—l paid the cheque produced for 121. on the 4th December, 1851. There was only 68.6 d. to the prisoner's credit at that time. I paid the cheque in error. I did not refer to the account. It had lain dormant for some time. . . The prisoner for a considerable time crou•examined the witness, hut nothing material was elicited. Funnell, the officer, in addition to the evidence given upon the first examination, said—l received 73 duplicates at the lodgings of the prisoner from his wife, some dated this year, some last year, and some the year before. Mr. Clarkson said his object in calling the officer to make that statement was to show that it was not probable that the prisoner could have had a balance of GOl. at his banker's in the midst of all the apparent distress by which he was overwhelmed. The Prisoner—That hu nothing of all to do with the businese. Mr. William Colton—The prisoner wee my tenant for six years, beginning with 1815. In April last ho owed me three quarters' rent, and I was obliged to put in a distress. He contrived to pay me.a quarter's rent, but I never re ceived any more from him, and on the 7th of February I saw him, and he told me he bad no means of paying me. The risoner—l was not aware you were going to rake up ell this against me, but it is evident that it has nothing to do with the question. It is done merely to strengthen the case against me. The Lord Mayor having read the usual form to the pri soner preliminary to committal, The prisoner said—All I have to sayls, that the money has been paid into the bank, and by myself ; and the evi dens against me has nothing whatever to do with the case before your lordship. If I had 5004 or 1,0001. at my banker's, I have no doubt that the circumstances would have ben the same at home. As for the number of dupli cates produced in this court, if there were as many again, it would not at all astonish me ; and as for what debts are owing, they will be paid. The amount of my debts alto gether does not exceed 351.. I have no debts of any kind in the City except one, and I always paid 20 shillings in the pound, and I shall be able to pay the few pounds I now owe. I submit to your lordship that the evidence before Inyour lordship against me is not sufficient to warrant you sending me for trial. The Lord Mayor—l have no alternative. The prisoner was then committed to Newgate. WORSHIP STREET. _ _ Jam,. Day Bantfteld, alias IVhitelock, alias Palmer, a middle-aged man of respectable appearance, was charged with having been concerned with others in obtaining nu merous sums of money from different loan societies by false and fraudulent representations. It was shown that the accused had acted in concert with Kingdon, who was con •icted of a similar offence in December last at the Central Criminal Court, and the charges against him being nume rous, he was remanded.

At ten o'clock this morning Mr. Baron Alderson took his seat in this court, when the usual formalities having been disposed of, the grand jury was sworn and charged by the learned judge. VIOLENT MOUE AT it Janes Quinn: i - ;;;UnW ;;;; aged 21, was indicted for highway robbery at Manchester, accompanied with great violence, in company with several other persons. The jure having found the prisoner Guilty, the judge commented on the frequency of this crime in Manchester, and rentenced the prisoner to 1.5 years transportation, a former conviction having been proved against him. The other cases tried in the Crown Court to-day wore destitute of public interest. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YErrzmuy. The sittings of the court for the March adjourned session of the peace for the county of Middlesex were resumed this morning, at the Gualdhill, Westminster, by adjournment from Clerkenwell, before Mr. Witham, deputy assistant judge . , Mr. Roc, and Mr. Augustin Robinson. There are 64 pr isoners charged with felony, and 6 with misdemeanour, for trial. ESCAPE op A PRIPONER.—ShortIy before the ruing of the court it was discovered that a prisoner named Barrli, had made his escape from the cells, and had succeeded in getting clear away. It appears that he contrived whilst being taken from the dock to slip up a staircase leading in to the second court from underground without being per ceived, and on getting there he had no difficulty in getting through one of the windows into the street. He was a well known character, and the officers are in active pursuit 1 1 of him. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Charles Clifford was brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination, upon the charge of haring, under re markable circumstances, uttered a forged accountable re ceipt for the payment of 601., with intent to defraud the London Joint stock Monk. Mr. Clarkson, instructed by Marrs. Vision and Co., at tended fur the prosecution. The following is the essential part of the evidence, which was given at considerable length Mr. 11. Thrup, clerk in the London Joint-stock Bank, said the book produced is the prisoner's pass-book. It com mences " Dr. the London Joint-stock Bank; Cr, in account with dr, Charles Chiliad." The last entry in the pass book on the debit side is, " Oct. 1, cash 601." I am the ledger keeper of these books, in which the prisoner's name would bo included, and it would be my duty to make entries lin the pass-book of any money paid to the prisoner's credit, unless the pass•book was handed in at the time the money was paid. and then it would be the duty of the cashier re ceiving it. Tho entry of the 601. on the Ist October is not in my handwriting, nor is it, to the best of my belief, in' the handwriting of any of the ledger keepers or clerks in the house. On Thursday, 11th March last, I compared the prisoner's pass-bank with the ledger, and I then observed the three entries on the credit aide of 101. 0 51. and 121., and ticked them otf, and at that time I first discovered on the debtor side the entry of the 601., and I caused a communi cation to be made to the manager. I know the handwriting of the prisoner, and the cheque produced for the 151., dated the " 11th of March, 1852," is signed by him. Cross examined by the prisoner—l was in the house on the 30th of September, 1810, but did not then keep that ledger which contains your name, nor did I keep it in that year at all. Mr. John Burton, clerk in the London Joint Stock Bank, said, I was the ledger keeper, and kept the prisoner's ac count. Amongst others, in the autumn of 1850; there is an entry on the debit side of the par-book produced, via.— " September 26, cash 151." It is in my handwriting. I cannot say to a day when this paashook came lust to the bank after the '26th of September, 1850, but it was previous to the making of the first entry on the other side of the page, of the date of the 6th of November, 1850. The practice at our bank is, when the pass-book is left one day it shall he entered up the next. According to the practice of our bank, I think the prisoner's pass-book could not have been in our bank in the interim between Nov., 1850, and Tuesday, the 9th of March. Cross-examined by the prisoner—lt is the custom of the bank to make up the pars-bask one day, and to be ready bar the customer the ant_ .dey Re examined by Mr. Corbett—lf the prisoner', pass. beak lee hem I. the task shoe November, 1860, it would have blew behaved. ne b war practice to do every half year ; and Isfosi the passbook not balanced I concluded it was in the bowie et the customer. The reasons the entries in the pnarbook for 101., 81., and 121., were not made till Tnemloy,the 9th of March, the pass book having been left ea the Thmaday or Friday previously, may have arisen hem the ehenzastance of the book having been out of the house se hag, end that it required to be compared with two or three dkillirent ledgers. It would, in such a caw, be put on one side till a soave lent opportunity occurred ter comparing the estates is the alipbeek with the ledger. The entry of 601. in the pets book k tertaialy not in the hand writing of any:cashier or ledger-keeper in the house at the present time, or in 1850. I have examined our books and I find no entry of GUI to the prisoner's credit, either on the lot of October, 1850, or before or since that time. The last half year's balancing of the customer's accounts was:on tke 31st of December last. _ Crivorexamined by the piisoner—l was In the house asl ledger keeper. On the 30th September and on the Ist of Oftober 1830, I think I did not enter to the credit of any amitaier on those days the sum of 801. I have known • shako ia Ike booking, and which has been detected next! seir, end that set right in the ledger. firr re-examined—There has been no complaint made by the prisoner of any omission of any aim paid in by Mahan theMth of September, 1850, to the present time. Mr. W.M. Hamilton, also a clerk in the bank, mid, on sr aboat the 9th of March, I made the three entries on ' the Gnat side of the prisoner's pambook, for 101., 61., tad 121. The three cheques produced for 101., 61., and 121., are them for which I made the entries in the pus book. Mr. J. L. Payton, cashier in the London Joint Stock Hook, said, on Thur sday, the 11th of Horeb, the cheque pro- demi for 161. was presented by a female for payment. It it la the priemer's handwriting, which I know. I did not pep k, bums his account was overdrawn. The mistake, tit mentrewleg of 121. on the 4th of December, lB6l, had bees at that time ascertained in the bank. From Novem ber, 1860, to the 4th December, 1831, before the 12/. cheque was paid, there wu only a balance in the prisoner', favour of 6s. 6d. From the Ist of October, 1860, to the Fitment time, there was no complaint mode on the part of the pri soner that the sum of 80/. had not been placed to his credit. Tam the 4th of December, 1861, to the 11th March, 1862, the primer had overdrawn 111.14 e. 7d. Cremesamined by the prisoner -1 have been a clerk in the beak twelve years. I was in the bank on the 30th of September and the Ist of October, 1860, as cashier. The prhoser—Did you on either of these day receive a rum of money amounting to 001. from any customer ? Witness—l think I did not. The prisoner—Have you any knowledge of having re. oohed my paerhook on either of those days, or about that Ilsee Witam—l here sot. The prisconerLii;re you any knowledge of a mistake being made about that time in the bank, in reference to the sum of 601.

ADDBILLEY, Colonial taxy."—it thus appears that the right of free discussion of political matters and of meetings for the purpose of peti tioning the home government are not permitted to the colonists in Gibraltar. It is understood that many abuses in the administration of affairs at Gibraltar have long existed ; one, among others, it is only necessary to name to excite universal reprehension, viz., the censorship of the press. Only one journal is allowed to be p ublished in Gibraltar, and all the articles intended for insertion in that paper have daily to be submitted to the government censor, whn either alters or suppresses them at the plea sure of tho government. Whether such a state of affairs can long exist in a territory belonging to a free country like England, it is not difficult to judge. It may be remarked, that handbills posted on the walls convening the meeting above referred to were torn down by police, under instruc tions from the Governor. LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNClL.—Yesterday a special meeting of the Liverpool Town Co u ncil was held , MU two vacancies on the watch committee, one occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Bigham, who had resigned his scat in order to become a candidate for the dike of head constable, and the other by Mr. Beckwith's resignation. After a long discussion, the vacancies were tilled by the election of Mr. W. J. llorsfell and Mr. T. Buck Lloyd. By this decision, the appointment of head constable (the salary of which office has been flied at 6001. a year), will most likely fall apse Captain Oreig. At the conclusion of these proceed ings, .Ithe town clerk was directed to invite the British Awmetiatimi kw the Advancement of Science to hold their anneal meet* in Liverpool at an early period.

Nearly all the pens were cleared before the close. There was a tolerably good show of fat Brute on offer, but buyers werc disinclined to purchase unless at a slight reduction in prices, which, in most cases was acceded to to effect sales. The demand:for fresh and lean stock was dull, and but few sales took place, the hold ers not feeling disposed to yield to higher prices. Good cart horses continue in brisk demand, and hut very few on offer. The pig trade slightly revived. Sucking calves were almost unsaleable. Supply: Sheep and Lambs, 2,130; Beasts, 196; Pigs, 275; Cal, a, 20; horses and l'unies, 44. Livattroot, MARCH 22.—There is rather a better de mand for the best kinds of cattle, with a small improvement in prices, while for other kinds there was no alteration from last week, and all sold up. The demand for sheep is much the same as last week, with no alteration in pnce, and a few left unsold. NIIWPORT PAOM.ILL (BUCKS) FAIR, MARCH 22.—At this fair the supply of lean stock was much shorter than usual.

The middling sorts were bought at lower figures. The Sheep trade was rather lower for all sorts except wether hoggeta, which sold freely, at full prices. Mulch and in-calf cows and heifers maintained high prices. Young Horses, of all breeds, were sold at unusually high prices. Nonwrca, March 20.—Our market exhibited a good show of store Cattle ; although • fair amount of busty, as was transacted, last week's prices were barely supported.
