THE GAS MONOPOLY IN MARYLEBONE.—Yester day a meeting of the committee appointed by the vestry of St. Marylebone, to consider the subject of the supply of gas, and the application of the Western Gas Light Company to lay their mains down throughout the parish, took place at the Court-house.—A deputation front the Western Gas Light Company, Kensall-green, stated that they would be prepared to lay down the pipes of the Western Company, and light the entire of Merylebone, in three or four years. Their charge for the public lights would not be cheaper in price than was paid at present, but as the gas to be sup plied would be 75 per cent. stronger than that now used, a vast saving would hence be effected. The private con sumers, on account of the purity and high illuminating power of the gas they proposed to give, would reap a benefit of at least from 33 to 40 per cent. They would euarantee not to compromise with any existing company. Mr. Bell wished to know how it was that the deputation now made a diffe rent statement with regard to price to what they did when they first came before the vestry. He certainly understood that they were not only prepared to give a stronger and purer RSA, but at least at two-thirds less in price than was at present paid. That was, instead of their paying 7s, they would only have to pay 4s. 6d. or ss. per thousand feet.— Mr. Taylor ,said Mr. Bell was mistaken : they considered their gas would be cheaper consequent on its high illumi nating power and other advantages. After some delibera tion the deputation expressed their readiness to contract for the public lights of Marylebone at the termination of the present contract with the Imperial Company in 1849, at the rate of 31. Ills. each public light per annum, being one shil ling less in each lamp than the price now paid.—The deputa tion having withdrawn, Mr. Bell expressed hie want of con fidence in the new company, on the ground that they had shifted about with regard to price. Ultimately a resolution was rdopted, recommending the vestry to allow the Western Gas Company to lay their mains throughout Marylebone, upon giving full security to the satisfaction of the vestry within such period as the vestry shall require. THE BUILDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.— Yesterday evening a meeting of the committee and mem bers of the above ,institution for giving relief and granting pensions to decaye d members of the various branches of the building trade, their widows, and orphans, and to afford tem porary relief to workmen in cases of accident, was held at the Freemasons' Tavern. The report congratulated the sup porters of the charity on the great success which, consider ing the shortness of time it has been established, the com mittee had met with, the treasurer reporting that he hail paid into the hands of the bankers on account of the relief fund 21.51. 9i. 10d., and on account of the building fund, 1631. Ils. 6d., making a total of 4091. Is. 4d. The report concluded with expressing a hope that it was only necessary to announce to the masters of the different branches of the building trade that such an institution exists to ensure sup T port. im SAILORS' Holt E.—Yesterday a meeting of the directors of the above institution was held in the board-room, in Wells-street, near the London Docks. This institution has for its objects the providing a receptacle for seamen paid off in the port of London, or out of employ, where they may be boarded and lodged at as low a charge as possible, and their moral condition attended to by religious instructors, dec. The establishment will contain 300 men, each of whom has a separate cabin or sleeping-berth. During last year 4,567 boarders were received. '22,4801. bad been received, and paid on the private accounts of the seamen, of which 4,1901. had been sent to themselves or to their families at their own homes. In the savings bank, 2,2881. stood to the credit of the boarders. The Scriptures in various languages ate provided, besides an excellent library of useful and interesting works. Lectures are also delivered at stated periods, on practical philosophy, the steam-engine, d.c. A schoolmaster gives instruction in navigation, writing, and arithmetic, both to adults and apprentices. Lest year's expenditure left a balance in hand of nearly 7001. SUCH IS THE DEMAND FOR MILITARY STORES, in consequence of the great increase in the number of guns and carriages required for the coast defences and the advanced ships preparing for commission, that orders have been received for the entry of more than one hundred m , chanics and labourers for the royal carriage de partment of the Hayti Arsenal. The establishment now employs more men than it did during the war of 1824. The buildings, which are of an unusual size, are now inadequate to the accommodation of so I a body of workmen, and the department is to be enlarged. INTERCOURSE WITH THE CONTINENT. The passengers between England and Boulogne during the week ending the 6th instant amounted to 1,157 (in the corre sponding week of 1846 they were 1,081); the passengers between England and Calais to 173 (280 in the correspond ing week of 1816). Of the Boulogne passengers there were 36.5 from Folkestone, 13 front Dover, and 88 from London —in all 466 from England ; and 495 to Folkestone, 59 to Dover, and 137 to London—in all 691 to England. A NEW KIND OF FIRE-ARM has been brought under public notice within the last week by Dr. E. Jaeger, of Vienna, This novelty has two leading features. Dr. Jaeger dispenses altogether with loose priming and perms lion caps, for his cartridge carries its own priming into the chamber of the gun-breach, where it is ignited by the hammer of the lock penetrating into the chamber, and nothing short of this will igaite the cartridge. Thus the operation of musketry or of field shooting is reduced to ' three movements, namely the insertion of the cartridge, ramming it home, and then the firing off the gun ; no biting the cartridge or priming or fixing a cap on the nipple being requisite. To men of peaceful habits and pursuits the advantages of all these improvements may not at first be apparent, but to those bent on slaughter of whatever kind it is probable that Dr. Jaeger's invention will be acceptable, and that he will at ones he petrenised by them, if it be proved that the operation of ramming home the cartridge primed with detonating powder is safe. It is understood that the committee of th e Ordinance Board has examined the invention, and recommended its trial for field sports, previous to its being rendered available for the purposes of MR. HENRY SCOTT, THE TRAINER Of Ascot Heath, was found dead in his sitting room on Tuesday morning. THE FORMATION OF THE PEARL.—The fishing being over for the day, the boats are discharged, and the oysters allowed to remain in heaps until they become per fectly putrid, at which time the shell is easily opened, without injuring the pearl. With regard to the nature of the pearl many opinions have been eatertained ; the most poetical, but, at the same time, the most absurd of which wan, that the fish rose to the surface every morning, and opened its shell to catch the dew, which entered in a small globule, and became fixed by a chemical action; no one has, however, we believe, ever yet seen an oyster upon the surface of the water. It has been now decided that it is a disease of the fish, and it has been supposed by M. Resumur, of the French academy, that they were caused by a particle of sand or some other rough sub stance entering with the food, the friction of which being disagreeable, the animal covered it with a glutinous matter, which, being continually secreted, eventually became what is known by the name of a pearl. This is rendered more probable from the fact that these oyster beds are always found upon sand banks, from which slight particles would be constantly imbibed by the fish in the act of eating their food. That pearls are formed by something which enters into the body of the oyster may be further proved by the fact, that they are found in all parts of the animal, which would he the case if we conceive the particle of sand to be indissoluble, and carried through all parts which the blood penetrates, until its passage became obstructed; and being then a source of considerable uneasiness to the fish, ft would be covered with the gluten, and thus form the foun dation of a pearl.—Five Years in the East, by R. N. Hutton. PREVENTION OF IRISH MURDER.—Sir,—Perhaps ' if the following suggestion, which I beg to make, were acted on, the Irish peasantry , might, in many instances, be less callous whey a murder is committed, and less prone to shelter the meamin. It is merely, that whenever a landlord, or his agent, or bailiff be murdered, that the executive should issue an order for the immediate recovery of all rents and stream due by his tenantry. This would have a gloater effect than orreries a reward, for then/ ire very few estates in Ireland on which there are not large arrears, and thit+teisure would, therefore, have the effect of binding Siretber the interest of the tenantry with the life of the hafted. I will venture to say that very few murders are isimitud in Ireland without the tenantry being well aware who was the eteepetrator.—A Seasearnes.—Noe. 9, 1847. IbteltleTtl, YESTERDAT.—ALLEGED MATRICIDE-- Before Mr. W. Baker, for the third time, at the Dolphin Tavern, Mare-street, Hackney, concerning the death of Mrs. Frames Sheridan, aged 70, the widow of an officer in the army, lately residing in Mire-street, who died from the effects of arsenic administered to her. Her son, William Sheridan, an excise officer, was taken into custody by the direction of the coroner on Monday list, and he has beea remanded on the charge of poisoning his mother till Tues day.—Martha Billings stated that she was employed in the house as charwoman on Thursday, the 28th alt. The de ceased appeared asensible the whole day, end never spoke to any person. In the evening • quantity of brandy was ad ministered to her by the youngest daughter Mrs. John sen, the eldest daughter, who has parted from her husband in consequence of her intemperate habits, came in much intoxicated, and was ejected from the room by her brother. The decessed was unable to swallow the brandy, and appeared very sleepy. About eleven o'clock the same night Catherine Sheridan, the youngest daughter, while writing a letter, said " her mother had not made her will, and it was too late now." Witness slept in the same bed with the de ceased, and was desired by the son, if his mother was worse, to call him. Witness thought it was very strange that he did not remain up to watch his mother, knowing that she was exceedingly ill. About three o'cluk the following morning witness found the deceased dead. Mrs. Johnson remained in the streets during the night, and several times knocked at the door; but her brother would not allow it to be opened. —Frances Johnson, aged about ten, stated that the deceased was her grandmother. On Sunday fortnight, before the death of the deceased, witness procured some spirits, and after the deceased had swallowed a portico of it she became very sick and appeared ill. Witness left her uncle, W. Sheridan, In the mem with the deceased, and went to school. Two or ,three days before the death of the deceased witness heard her mother say to W. Sheridan. " Who has given the dose 1" He made no reply, and witness considered her mother intoxicated.—Evans, the summoning officer, said the mother of tiniest witness could give very material evidence, for she had charged her brother repeatedly with having ad ministered poison to the deceased, and he had never denied it.—The Coroner considered it *de1...61e for the in quiry to be adjourned until after the examination at the police mutt —Adjourned until Wednesday next. — CHARGE AGAINST A CHEYIST.—By Mr. Carter (by adjournment), at the Hampton-court F'alace public-house, Frances-street, Newington, touching the death of Harriet Cloak, the infant daughter of a watchmaker. On the eight of Sunday week the parents took the deceased, an infant of seven weeks old, to the shop of Mr. Bellamy, a chemist in Newington-causeway, who gave them a powder, to be admi nistered that night, and said he should send a mixture on the following day. The mixture was sent, with directions that one tea-spoon full should be given two or three times day. Only one spoon-full a day was given to it, and on the third day the infant died, as Mr. Prior, a medical gentleman called in, deposed to, from the effects of narcotic poison. It was the opinion of Mr. Prior that the mixture wee strongly tinctured with opium, and that the small quantity adminis tered had evidently mired death.—The parents of the deceased admitted, in reply to questions put by Mr. Bellamy, that it had been taken to %Vestminster Abbey on the Friday preceding, and that they thought it had been seized by the cold there, and also that it was subject to griping.—Mr. Bellamy complained that he had not been apprised of the inquest on the former day, so that he might have attended and explained the matter, so as to prevent the publication of • report which was calculated to do him serious injury. The mixture produced was made up according to a formula published by Dr. Charles Butler, of Dublin, and the quan tity taken by the deceased, or three times u much, was not sufficient to poison the infant.—The inquiry was adjourned to give time for a post mortem examination IRELAND. DUBLIN, NOT. 10. It is alike painful and disgusting to report daily on the violence of Tipperary. Brutal murders—assaults —searches for arms—almost every form of crime is of constant occurrence. The last display of brutality is thus stated : a party of armed ruffians, on Siii;day night, entered the house of a farmer named Harding, and demanded his arms. He had lent or concealed them, and in consequence was frightfully, though not mortally, beaten. 'idettes were posted outside to prevent surprise, as the police were on their nightly round in that district. A youth named Devitt, at tracted by the cries of Harding, approached the door, and not hearing, or disregarding, the remonstrance of the sentinels, was immediately shot through the body. He is not yet dead. How far the present agitation in favour of tenant-right has stimulated the instinctive propensity of Tipperary to aggravated disorder, it is impossible to say, but there unquestionably is some connexion between the two movements. A new source of agrarian outrage has shown itself at Holy cross. It is, however, right to state that in the other eastern and southern counties where tenant-leagues have been formed, the public sentiment has not been corrupted with crime, There is to be a tenant meet ing shortly in Kilkenny, and another next Sunday in Cashel. The latter is unlikely to exercise a healthy influence on the progress of the north riding to tran quillity. I noticed a late statement in the Kerry Examiner that the Listowel guardians had been cashiered, and replaced by a paid board. Mr. Sandes, one of the unpaid, corrects the report of dismissal, and declares that perfect harmony subsists between the commis sioners and Listowel Board. .E contra, the Tipperary Board, like all Tipperary county, is in a state of agi tation. Four members have resigned, because they say the relieving officers have taken the entire re sponsibility, and not given satisfaction. As to the latter complaint, the remedy is obvious; and with respect to the assumption of responsibility, that is rather a loss than a gain to the relieving officers. If they exceed their duty, they fall under the double control and censure of the guardians and poor-law commissioners. Tipperary guardians should exercise a little more prudence, and remain at their post, in stead of making concessions of a pettish or peevish spirit. Mr. Mayne, assistant barrister for Mayo, died on Sunday at the residence of the Marquis of Sligo. He fell suddenly ill at the Westport Sessions, and sank after a few days. He was a near relative to the late judge of that name, of whom the witty Tom Parsons " He has ascended by his gravity, while I de scend by my levity." Numerous candidates are named—so numerous, indeed, that a lottery has been got up which is likely to realise large stakes. HIGH SHERIFFS FOR THE ENSUING YEAR. DUBLIN ..

VALUE OP PLLOPEETY IN IRELAND.—A significant piece of evidence of the united efforts of depression of the times, the monetary pr.ssure, and the condition of the country, was furnished yesterday by a sale of laad which took place us ene of our masters' offices. The land set up is situate in Tippe rary, near the town of Birr, and contains 5,603 acres, let on very eld leases still subsisting, producing an annual rectal of 9131. 101. 9d.; the land being worth at present, it is said, 201. to 301. per acre. This land was set up in May last, when 22,5001. was offered and deemed insufficient. Yes terday it was sold for 17,0001.—There are now daily em ployed on the Killarney Junction Railway 482 men. THE DEFAULTING ACCOUNTANT.—A sale of the effects of Mr. Neuron, late accountant to the Shannon commission, and now in Newgate on a charge of forgery, was fixed for to day in pursuance of an execution duly lodged by a creditor of his in the hands of the sheriff. To-day, however, at ten o'clock, a writ we; served on the sheriff, ordering the stay of the ale, and Mr. Kemmiss, crown solicitor, is now in possession of the effects, which he will, of course, retain until the issue of the trial. STATE OP TILE COUNTILY.—A man named Whelan was knocked down a night or two since, in the streets of Tooma vara, Tipperary, by a blow of a stone, which fractured his skull. It is said there are no hopes of the recovery of the policeman shot when the attack was made 'on Mr. Garvey. The men took deliberate sin], in full view of their intended victims. A Mr. Smithwiek, residing in North Tipperary, having placed "keepers" on the property of a tensnt, they were attacked by the peasantry armed, and obliged to de camp, though they were six in number and armed also. The taking away of arms is of nightly occurrence. SCOTLAND. EDINTIIUROH, Nov.lo. The Edinburgh Review has now only a nominal connexion with Edinburgh. On the insolvency of Messrs. Constable and Co., in 1826, it became the property of Messrs. Longman and Co. ; and on the death, in the beginning of the present year, of Mr. Macvey Napier, the editorship was transferred to England • and in future the printing is to go thither also. The new editor is understood to be Dr. Empson, professor of law in Hertford College, and son-in-law of Lord Jeffrey. In nationality the Reriew has of late been rather losing ground, but under the new editorship there are symptoms of change in this respect. In matters educational, Mr. Ferguson, one of the masters of the Edinburgh Academy, has succeeded Dr. Forbes as professor of humanity in King's College, Aberdeen ; and the church of Scotland having no confi dence in the new Edinburgh professor of llebrcw ' is to appoint a teacher of its own for the instruction of divi nity students. In the lowest, and therefore most pro mising platform of education, that of ragged schools, Dumfries is to follow the prevailing good example of, prevention rather than cure. The prospectus states: That from inquiries that have been made. it appears that there ate in Dumfries and Maxwelltown about 81 children who are proper ob jects of admimion into a ragged school; and that of these about 50 nay be expected to attend the school. That the expense to the society of each child would average about 41. or 31.; act that an annual sum of from 2001. to 2501. would be required for the purposes of the ragged school. That, for the purposes of school fees and other sesistance to be given to parents by the members of the vlxiting committee, It is supoosed that a um of about 601. annually would be sualcient. We do not well understand how out of 84 Dam fries and Maxwell-town Oliver Twists only "50 should be expected to attend the school ;" neither do we see why 601. annually will be sufficient to keep schools which will cost from 2001. to 2501. ; but pos sibly the Dumfries community mayperceive, although they do not explain ; and provided breechless vaga bonds are cast into the scholastic crucible, and come forth productive members of society, it matters i little how the supplies are raised. The state of rail way labour in the district in question may perhaps too soon furnish additional scope for ragged-school enterprise. There are at present 5,825 navvies, &c., employed in Dumfriesshire, on the Nithsdale and Caledonian lines. As a commencement of the reduc tion system, there has been a decrease in wages equi valent to the discharge of 229 men. Labourers have been cut down from 3s. 4d. to 2s. 6d., and masons from ss. to 3s. 6d. per diem. The insolvency of Mr. Campbell of Islay is in many quarters regarded as the commencement of a series of aristocratic bankruptcies. From the operation of the entail laws, aa well as expensive style of living, many county proprietors, titled and otherwise, have been carrying on with borrowed money; and being unable to meet the sudden calls for re-payment, which the present times render necessary, stoppage must be the inevitable result. Bat as there is not, as in cities, a common focus for the transaction of their busi ness, the state of the affairs of particular parties can not be ascertained so promptly as that of those of pro fessional merchants. _ In the probable event of legislation on the toll system, and on the custody of lunatics, certain ques tions have been agitated in connexion with each, which are deserving of consideration. With reference to the first, it has been objected by a Perth councillor that as carters in towns do not use country roads, their horses should not be taxed to keep up those thoroughfares, while their owners pay town road moneyibesides. Now, as toll bars are invariably put up as near towns as the county boundaries will admit, and as, moreover, by the extension of towns, they very frequently run out to bars, when bars do not go to them, it is not correct to say that carters are not affected by the toll system. In Edin burgh whole districts and streets are beyond tolls, and every other town has to some extent or other the same complaint to make ; but supposing it otherwise —if carters do not leave towns the inhabitants gene ' rally do so, and those tolls fall on them in the shape of increased expenses for horse and coach travelling. These would be lessened by Mr. Pagan's plan, and the saving would not be grudged, if partly spent on higher cartage dues. There might be a differential impost on carters horses, provided they did not go beyond towns, but then this would partake of the leaven of the old system, by retaining foolish arbi trary restrictions on the freedom of locomotion. A better arrangement would be separate rates for riding, farm, and cart horses. The proposed lunatic asylum is also met by a city cry. It is objected that towns like Glasgow, which have already erected institutions for the insane, should not be called oa to assist counties such as Argyll, Inverness, and Fife, which have opened no establishments. A similar objection was made when the Scotch Prison Bill was brought in, and the remedy then provided was the valuation of buildings previously provided, and a corresponding abatement, till all had complied with the requirements of the act. The great nuisances to be put down are private asylums, as well as lunatics living with private families, very many of them in such a way as to admit of grossly cruel treatment, to the most hapless of the whole human family. The treatment of Fer guson, the poet, in real life, or of Jack Sheppard's mother in fiction, are more than exceeded by the evi dence contained in the parliamentary report on the custody of the insane.

KILLING THE HANOXAN.—Nine months' imprisonment is the sentence awarded to this crime, in the cue of Edy, who took the life of the Edinburgh executioner. WALES. THE ROBBERY OF DR. BOWRINO, M.P.—Richard Mahony and John Lloyd, who stand charged with the re• cent attack upon Dr. Bowring, at Bridgend, have been taken before the magistrates, when Mr. Charles Bowring said that he resided at Bowrington, and was an ironmaater. On Thursday last ho went to Bridgend to get some money horn the bank. He travelled in a gig with one horse. He procured 1,0001., viz, 570 sovereigns, 200 half-sovereigns, 601. in silver, and 2701. in notes. He put the money in • leathern bag, which he deposited in the boot of the gig. He left Bridgend about half-past twelve at noon, accompanied by his brother, Dr. Bowring, M.P. When they had arrived about half-way to Bowrington, upon going up a slight hill, he saw two men approaching them on the road ; when they got close to witness's vehicle they parted —one went to the right, and the other to the left, side of the horse. They then each presented • holster pistol at them. The prisoners he was positive were the two men. Lloyd said," 'Your money or your life;" the other repeated the same words. Lloyd's pistol was then pointed at witness's breast; it was cocked, and his finger was on the trigger. He afterwards said, "Mr. Bowring; I want your money, and not your life." Witness said, "I can't resist; I'll give you the money." Both pistols were presented the whole time. When witness lifted the bag up the strap hung out, and Lloyd laid hold of it, and pulled it out, and said, " I want the two bags." Witness used at one time to take two bags to the bank. After Lloyd lad got the bag he went on a couple of yards, then turned round and shot the horse in the gig. Both the prisoners immediately mule off across the fields towards Margam. Hirwent on to a farm-house close by, and bor rowed a horse, and then galloped to Bridgend, where he gave information of what had occurred.—Dr. Bowring, M.P., brother of the list witness, having confirmed the previous evidence as to the robbery, added, that he was perfectly astounded at the composure and self-possession of the prisoners. Before he pulled the bag up he showed them his purse, with the intention of giving it to them, but they took no notice of it —John Jones, a publican, said, that whilst in pursuit of the prisoners, Lloyd cried out "Huth, or I'll blow your brains out." He succeeded in apprehending him. lie had a knife, but no pistol with him. He found 1381. Ils. on his person.--John Jones, the constable, proved having apprehended the other prisoner, and they were both fully committed to take their trial at the next assizes. PROVINCIAL. _ LANCASHIRE._ . CHARGE OF PEnsOiiiinN.—John Johnson and Thos. Turner, who had been remanded on a charge of per sonating two burgesses in St. Thomas's ward, at the election on the first November, have been brought up again before the magistrate at Rochnale. The charge against J. Johnson was first taken. Mr. Hudson opened the case, and called several witnesses to show that the defendant had presented a yellow voting paper, for Ashton and Bradford, two of the candi dates, and insisted upon voting as Jas. Worthington, 47, Union-street, the defendant living in Mosley-street, in an other ward. The questions prescribed by the act were put ; to which he mode affirmative answers. Mr. Orme, the pre-- aiding alderman, stated that he knew Jas. Worthington, of 47, Union-street: he was a burgess of St. Thomas's Ward. The defendant came into the booth with a yellow voting paper, and presented it to Alderman Ray ner, who put the usual questions from the card as to his identity, to all' of which be answered affirmatively. —ln answer to the cross-examination of Mr. William Vaughan, Alderman Orme said, he put the questions inter rogatively, expecting an answer. The usual question was next put —By the Town Clerk I merely put the question as a declaration, not as an interrogation; it was quite optional whether the defendant made any answer. I said, as ■ decla ration, " Your name is not James Worthington."—Mr. W. Vaughan complained of the town clerk's interference with a question, the answer to which materially affected the defendant ; he likewise complained of Alderman Orme hav ing said one thing, and afterwards adopted the language suggested by the town clerk.—The witness explained, that the reason why Alderman Rayner was acting as presiding alderman in the booth was to enable him (Alderman Orme) to record his vote elsewhere.—The evidence of Alderman Rayner was to the like effect; and that the legal ques tions were put by him and not by the presiding officer.— Mr. W. Vaughan then took exceptions ta the legality of the proceeding. The conduct of Alderman Orme was most de cidedly illegal. In the first place the 34th section prohibits any inquiry as to any person tendering a vote except the questions already laid down in the act of parliament. In the second plaw, the questions shall be put to the voter at the time of his delivering in the voting paper, and not after wards. And thirdly, those questions can only be legally put by the mayor or other presiding officer." Now, it was quite clear by the evidence, that interrogative ques tions were put to the voter before the legal ones— that the questions were put after the paper had been received—that the rate was not recorded, and therefore the defendant had not voted, and that Alderman Rayner and not the presiding officer, Alderman Orme, put the usual questions. Any one of these points was fatal to the present proceedings.—Mr. Hudson essayed to reply, but no witnesses having been called fur the defence he was considered out of order.—The Bench retired to consider these points; but, be fore their return into court, it was arranged by the advocates on both sides, and the present charge was withdrawn, on condition that certain actions with which Alderman Orme and others had been threatened should also be cancelled. The defendants, through Mr. W. Vaughan, acknowledged their error, under excitement, and the bench gave the pro secutor leave to withdraw the charges against both defend ants. They hoped that this was the first offence, and that it would not recur in the borough.—The defendants were then discharged. SUSSEX. ... . THE GUY FAWKES RIOTS AT LEWES.-011 Tues day, the eight men who were apprehended on Friday were taken before the magistrates for examination. They were handcuffed and strongly guarded. They gave their names Thomas Stanbridge, Joseph Robinson, Thomas Atwood, James Wimhurst, Georgia Gooney, George Ashby, Jesse Fold, and John Stanbridge.—The evidence having been gone through, the Earl of Chichester said the magistrates had decided on committing the prisoners to the maize*. They would be admitted to bail, and the amount required was their own recognisance of 301. each and two sureties of 1.51. each. Most of the _prisoners were bailed in the course of the sitting.—William Bailey, of Hereford-street, Brighton, was next brought up, charged with being engaged in light ing a tar barrel. He was bound in his own recognisance of 301. to appear to any indictment that may be preferred against him at the assizes.—Mr. Muddle, the mail con tractor, applied to the magistrates for a compensation for the damage done to his horse and van during the riot, and was informed that the magistrates had no fund for any such purpose. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1847. LITERATURE. Pius the Ninth; or, the First Year of his Pontificate. By Count C. A. GODDES Di LIANCOURT, of the Pontifical Academy of the Lincei, at Rome; and I. A. MAN:4II4O, .IN., of the Inner Temple. 1847. The Journal As Dames states, net without reason, that the decision of the court of Rome in the matter of the Irish Colleges has, in agreat measure , checked the feeling which prevailed in England in favour of the present Pope. We maintain the opinion which we have already expressed, that it is the true policy of England to support the Pope ae the representative of Italian improvement, without paying especial re gard to his mode of exercising his spiritual functions. His power depends essentially on his reputation for orthodoxy, and for devotion to the interests of his church. The application of the power so obtained to the relaxation of despotism throughout Italy has met in free countries with almost unanimous approbation. The farther he advances in his career of improve ment, the more need he will have of the countenance of England to support him against the hostility of Austria and of Naples • and consequently, the stronger will be our claim upon him to abstain at least from increasing the difficulties with which our government has to deal with reference to the Irish esthetics. If ho were driven back on the submission of his predecessorto GHIBELLINE influence, hispolitical subordination would leave him at liberty in his eccle siastical capacity to disturb by internal interference the governments from which he would no longer 1 1 have anything to fear or to hope. It is not, however, on cold calculations like these that the popularity of Plus IX. in England has been founded. A generous sympathy with the long oppressed people of Italy, and a cordial approbation of the Pope's efforts to elevate their condition, have entirely superseded all selfish calculations of English interests, and have even accomplished the far more difficult task of overruling for the time the protestant jealousy and suspicion with which the Vatican is habitually regarded. It would be a peat error in zealous catholic' to suppose that a desire to see Italy free and independent in any way implies a disposition to reconciliation with the see of ST. PETER. The Eng lish protestanta who support the political exertions of the Pope, without regard to religious differences, have a right to expect that their influence shall not be perverted to the spiritual aggrandise ment of the Romish church. We are willing to believe, that, notwithstanding his Irish rescript, the Pope himself is not disposed to make the political sympathy of England an excuse for spiritual encroach ments : but there are not wanting symptoms of the mor bid anxiety of injudicious catholics to distort the love of freedom and national independence into • re cognition of the most obsolete and objectionable pre tensions of the court of Rome. _ _ _ We have a specimen of this perversity in the book lately published, the title of which is prefixed. We do not remember to have seen on any subject a sillier, more incoherent, or more unmeaning publi cation ; nor should we think it worth noticing from any respect to the opinions which it expresses. It is the fact that such opinions and states of mind exist, the involuntary exhibition of feeling which the book contains, that make it in any way useful as an illustration of the propensity, of which we have com plained, to sectarianise the unseetarian and disin terested support which has been given to the poli tical measures of the present Pope. Although the parts which the foreign and English contributors have respectively supplied to the work are nowhere indicated, we cannot be far wrong in assuming that the bulk of it was written in French, and translated, or mistranslated—" abbot," for instance, being given as the equivalent for the French " abbe"—with a few additions entirely inconsistent with the rest of the work, but intended, with a simple cunning, to cajole English readers into a belief that they . were reading a protestant publication. The principal author of " Pius IX " not only calls the Pope the "king of the Christian world," and adopts with unconscious zest all the formulas which are most habitual to those within, and 21106 t startling to those without, the pale of catholicism; but he displays an enthusiasm for the trappings and millinery of Romanism, which we have never seen surpassed. The moppings and mowings of the cardinals, the red cloaks and the black cloaks, and the violet sleeks, the cloth of gold tiara of the Pope, and the harlequin uniform of the Swis Guard, call forth an enthusiasm equal to that which is inspired by the sentimental and apocryphal stories about the youth of Pius IX., and the conventionally edifying speeches with which a part of the volume before us is crammed. To recommend this foreign mess to the English palate, in another page the faith ful are called " our Roman catholic brethren," as if it was a protestant who had just before gravely recorded the canonisation of five monks and nuns of the last century; and for the benefit of liberals all over the world we are told that Rome, Albion (sic !), andlParis, form" an impos ing trinity, which will re-open the book of miracles?' There is, however, no book so bad but what some thing may be learned from it; and to those who wish to know the points in which the trappings of a pope differ from or resemble those of a lord mayor, or the formalities of conclaves which have in general dis played a greater amount of perjury, bribery, and base ness than was ever known at a borough election, we recommend Count de LIANCOCRT as a willing and en thusiastic guide. The contrivance, childish as it is, of inserting a few make-believe protestant common places in the midst of a catholic book will be found rather amusing than troublesome. If, however, there was any use in advising deter mined religious partisans, we would strongly recom mend the catholic supporters of Plus IX.'s temporal policy to accept the alliance of protestant friends of liberty and independence without attempting to derive from it a sectarian advantage. The no-popery feeling of England is too easily aroused, and too formidable to admit of resistance, when it is excited by a just and reasonable complaint, Intelligent men would willingly see the prince of the ecclesiastical states govern well and wisely; but if he had accomplished all the good which he can be said or thought to propose, it would not in any way strengthen his title to the rank of " King of the Christian World." Among his own subjects and adherents he is welcome to any honorary addition which he and they may approve. It is indifferent to us whether he calls himself the " Servant of Ser vants," or the "Son of the Sun, and the Brother of the Moon." To England he is only an Italian prince, to ' be supported as long as he promotes civilisation and freedom, and avoids interference with our national interests. On exactly the same grounds we would urge the enemies of religious disabilities, and the supporters of the Italian policy of Pies IX., to pursue their course without any regard to the perverse interpretations of their objects by those whom they wish to benefit. The greatest danger at present arising from the officiousness of Itomish priests and proselytisers is, that their obstinacy should afford an argument to the protestant advocates of religious restrictions. In the matter of the "godless colleges" it is true that the Pope has only echoed the denunciations of the protestant zealots in parliament, but the same views are not in general received from enemies with the same favour as from friends. The decision of the Propaganda that secular education is dangerous to Chnstianity may, perhaps, be considered a proof of bigotry and intolerance by those who were the first to enunciate the same proposition on behalf of Protestantism. It is the duty of statesmen to treat the reclamations of bigotry from both quarters with equal indifference. By removing all civil disabilities on the ground of religion we shall most consistently deprive all sects of any reasonable pretensions to special civil privileges. By supporting the Pope in a wise policy, notwithstanding that he is Pope, we shall both confirm the right of resisting his possible encroachments, snd acquire a hold over Lim, by which his power may possibly be turned to our advantage. There is no reason why the protection of England against foreign interference should be less effectual as a means of influencing the Roman court to abstain from disturbing us at home, than the hold which the French Kings formerly possessed on the , Vatican by the position of the papal county of I Avignon in the midst of their own territories. As long as Constantinople looks to the protection of the English flag in case of need, the vicegerent of the Prophet will never stir up rebellion among our Mahometan subjects in India : and a wise policy might make it equally evident to the statesmen of Rome, that it would be well for them not to interfere with education in Ireland. We are not very san vine as to the entire hypostatic union of " Rome, Albion, and Paris" for the purpose of enuring the liberty of the world ; both Rome and Paris must first modify several of their propensities and simplify their policy. As for " Albion," or, as it is called in the vernacular, " England," we believe its course to be clear—to govern and deal with religionists at home and abroad with a total indifference, as far as pos sible, to their sectarian objects.

PAIK•L.—PAHISII ACCOUNTS.—ADMIFSIRILZTY OP A WlTgEBll.—This was a motion to discharge an order of the Vice-Chancellor of England, directing a person named Edward Scargill to be examined as a witness before the master to whom it was rererred to take accounts in this cause. The facts were these: John Scott, who was one of the guardians and officers of the poor of St. James's, Clerk towed, being in 1834 suspected to have applied part of the pariah funds to his own use, a committee of the guardians was appointed to examine his accounts. Scott then abeconded having previously executed a deed conveying all his property to his wife. He returned in 1837, and was indicted for the embezzlement A negotiation then took plus between . him and his wife on one side, and the guardians on the other. Scutt proposed to secure payment to the guardians of what should be found doe from him oe en examination of his accounts, which proposal they declined, and insisted upon a mortgage from him and Mrs. Scott, to cause payment of 10,4001., - which appeared, on the investiga tion already made by the committee of guardians, to be the amount of Scott's defalcations. He and his wife did execute a mortgage to Adams and Pascal, two of the guardians, to secure that sum for the benefit of the parish. Mrs. Scott soon afterwards filed a bill against the mortgagees to set aside the mortgage deed, on the ground that it was obtained from her and her husband under duress and threats. The mortgagees then filed a cross bill on behalf of themselves and the other guardians and officers of the parish, to ennpel performance of the deed of mortgage. The two causes were heard by the Vice-Chancellor of Eng land, who was of opinion that though the guar dians exercised only their legal power in obtaining the mortgage they did so under undue pressure and duress. His Honour, therefore, held that the deed should stand good only for whatever should be found due from Scott to the parish, and he directed a reference to the master to tike the accounts. Scargill was tendered as a witness on behalf of the guardians before the master, who, on obection being taken by Scott's counsel, held that he was inadmissible, oa the ground of his interest in the matter of the accounts, as he had been himself one of the guardians from 1833 to 1841, had taken a part in the proceedings against Scott, although his name was not on the record of either hill, nor on the mortgage deed, and on the ground that he was • rate-payer. Another master (Senior), before whom the ac counta came to be taken on the Wefts of the former master (Lynch) was of the same opinion. A motion was then made before the Vice-Chancellor, for an order fur the cementation of the witness, and his Honour, after hearing the question argued, made the order, being of opinion that the witness had no interest in the accounts, or in the causes, except merely as a rate-payer of the parish, and that that die qualification was removet by the recent act 3 & 4 Vict., cap. 26, sec. 2, by which rate-payers are qualified .to be without, in matters affecting the interests of their parish.— Mr. Stuart, Mr. Parry, and Mr. Daniel, in support of the appeal motion, contended that the witness was incompetent, on the ground of his interest, as not only being • rate-payer but also • guardian of the poor, and, in effect, a plaintiff in the cross bill, which wad . tiled on behalf of all the guardians, though they were too numerous to he named in the record. A deed of release which the parties on the record executed to discharge the witness from liabilities to costs could not have that effect; he was still liable to the costs of the pre sent solicitor to the guardians, although with a view to perfect the witness's competency, the solicitor who had acted for the guardians while the witness was one of them had been paid his cons and discharged. The Lord Chancellor, without calling on Mr. Teed or Mr. Rogers, who appeared for the guardians, said he entirely agreed in the view taken by the Vice-Chancellor. It ap peared that Scargill had now no interest whatsoever in the accounts, except his interest as a rate-payer, and that interest was declared by the act 3 & 4 Vict., c. 26, not to prevent rate-payers being witnesses in matter affecting the affairs of their parish. His lordship, therefore, dismissed the motion j but it was agreed that the costs should be paid out of a fond in court. Before the Master or the Rolle. -.- BELLAMY V. 8111-LA MT.-PAYMENT INTO COCRT.-Mr. Toiler applied on behalf of a purchaser to pay his purchase money into court. It appeared that the decree had directed the testator's real estates to be sold by the defendants, the trustees of his will, who were directed to pay off certain in cumbrances on the estates, and to pay the residue of the pur chase money into court. A question was made by the pur chaser of part of the estates as to the parties entitled to a legacy of 2,0001. charged thereon, and, in consequence, he was desirous of having his purchase money paid into court.— The Master of the Roll thought, that having regard to the terms of the decree, this could not be done without an affi davit explaining the circumstances. MANNERS V. Ft:REL.-RECEIVER'S RECOONIRANCES.- Mr. ebandless applied for the sanction of the court to the acceptance of the British Guarantee Association as a surety for the receiver appointed in this cause. The association being a corporation aggregate could not enter into the usual recog nisanees, but it was proposed to take its bond.—The Master of the Rolls said the parties might consent amongst them. selves to require no recognisance, but it was another thing to ask the sanction of the court to • deviation from the ordinary practice. lie would consider of it. Before the rhee-Chancellor of England. THE LONDON AND PROVINCIAL LAW ASsUIti.NCE SO CIETY O. THE LONDON AND PROVINCIAL JOINT-STOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPAI4T.—INJENCTION TO RESTRAIN TER DEFENDANTS CONTINUING THEIR NAME AND TITLE REFUSED—This wan a motion on behalf of the London and Provincial Law Assurance Society for an injunction to restrain the London and Provincial Jointstock Life Insurance Company from contipuing to use the words " London and Provincial" as part of the name, style, and title now adopted by them, on the ground that the name had been adopted for the purpose of inducing people to mistake the defendants'society for that of the plain tiffs, and thereby do the plaintiffs a serious injury. The plaintiffs' company was registered in September, 1845 ; and the defendants' company was not completely registered until June, 1847. The plaintiffs had, consequently, hail the use of their name long before the institution of the defendants' company. The plaintiffs society was composed of persons of the highest rank, amongst whom was Sir Fitzroy - Kelly, u standing counsel. It was contended that as the defendants had prefixed the words " Loudon and Proviacial" to their title, which were the some words adopted by the plaintiffs, the public would be misled, since the usual way of denoting the plaintiffs' society was by merely calling it the " Londod and Provincial Assurance Company. The first two words were, in fact, the most prominent, and the same style would be used in denoting the defendants' company, and by that means the two would be confounded together. The cases of " Perry r. Tnditt " (6 Heaven and Millington) • and Fox (3 M. and Cr.) were cited as authorities in support of this argument —Counsel for the defendants were not called upon to address the court —The Vice-Chancellor said this appeared to him a very simple cue. It was not an ap plication to restrain the use of an entire name, but only the two Bret words. The question was, wpiether the title adopted by the defendants was likely to mislead the public.
