Boma, the superintendent of the Joint Terminus. .itter the removal of the cloth, and the usual loyal teens, Mr. Sutton, in proposing the health of Lord George Lennox, stated as a fact, that did credit to the men eaun present, that since the last dinner given by and G oige (this being the third annual entertainment), out of the whole of thong employed at the k1r06668, there had only been one disdained. Lord Worse Lennox said this was • proof that in showing his seteem foe the men of the P.atemouth terminu by iaviting them to join him at diaper he did not exaggerate their aunts. Himself and his family were frequeat travellers an the railways running into P , etsmouth, and he had alwaye bad to notice the great civility and attention paid to all clamed of travellers by the camels, from the superintendent down to the poruses. As same mark of his appreciation of these /content qualities it wee that he did himself this pleasure of dining with *ea. He had not a single share in any railway, and had sot the lent interest to serve; he therefore felt at liberty to congratu late the large body of 'asthenia and firemen then before him ea their etsedy abatises« from those strikes which had been so saischievessly got up on other lines ' • one of which, at the present time, wee carrylag ruin into the families of many men in the north. He exhorted them as a traded to cautious ; DO to abstain from mach steps, and assured theni that the dn. lily sad attention which had induced hiss to pay a tribute of esteem to them, were fez the most likely to nestle Is per parity and happhises to themselves and families.

Mary's. Tots case was one traversal Irma the latt onions, and from the well known petition of the patellar, tinted considerable Merest. Mr Car:oe Cooper opened the case on the pert of the pre , mutton at great length, observing that the inquiry was of the greatest importance to the defendant, whose character se a Mnr was of count deeply involved ; but It was of still rester ' importance to the poldie, bet nos it was obvious that an stairway had opporiunitice of imposing upon those who might employ him. He was, moreova, genet:el compe tent, if he well so disposed, to obtain within some of 10 on * tram his elicits for purposes of which they write, putridly speaking, totally ignorant.

He told me I must tile • declaration, and I must give him the money to do so. He asked me for one guinea, which I gave him. I gave him the money Olen the dad...ration was tiled. I saw him again alter that. He told me of • replication, which he said was neceetary. He said 21. 2s. would be required for the replication. I . gave him the two guineas. I saw him neat day, when paid him two guineas more. I hove torgotten the name of the document which the 21. 2s. was tor. I have paid him aboat 211. altogether. I went to his office shortly atter. I said to him, Now there is nothing flee to pay. He ' said, Yes, there are the trial fees re:aining comer', jury, M. to tarry on the action. He few, 64 . 6s. war the sum nonentity. He told me he should not get a farthing by it. He said the money was necessary, as the cause could not go on without it.

I saw him on the Thursday morning jut after this. He said he had good news to tall me. He called at my door at six o'clock in the morning, and took me into his garden. He said he had ibtisence wr. b a clerk in Mr. Bailey's office, and he could go there when he liked, to see how things were ' going on. I received a no'ice of certiorari from Mr. Bailey. : He told me he thought the Mesas. Minato were going to ' remove the action. By the Recorder —The money was paid after you received the certiorari When I received the certiorari I left it on the table. Cooper *eat for me, and when I went to his house the women who lives titers showed me a paper with the word "sertiorari " written upon it. When 1 went upstairs I told Cooper what I bad seen.

Toe learned gentleman concluded by hoping their verdict would be of such a niter' as at once to place the prissierr en that high posiuos which he and his father ashore him had hitherto held. The Recorder then, with greet minuteness, commented upon the most material points of evidence, explaining to the jury such parts es bore most upon the evidence before the mart relative to the replication, which was perfectly unne cessary, no declaration having been issued. Toe evidence given by the prosecutor showed that such instructions were given to him by Cooper, which, if they were to be believed, proved atones the tales representations. The point for their consideration wee whether such false statements were made by the prisoner, and with • dollen to defraud.

We have already noticed various experiment. made with the " Aunt bilinear," es a means of checking coati ignition both in houses acd in ships, and have expressed au opinion than in regard to the latter especially its advantages cannot well be overrated. The experiment of yesterday fully confirmed this impression and proved that in that position in which the power of man is the least effectual, vie., in the ease of a "fire at sea," there is an meat by the sid of which the de structive element any be subdued, and safety ensured both to ship sad crew.

Diseases of the organs of respiration, exia.ssive of harping cough and pkthisis, were fatal in the tgregate, last week, to 721 persona whilst the corrected average is only 257. Amongst epidemics, small pox carried ofi 21 children, and 4 men who had turned 20 years of sgs ; measles, 29 child ren; scarlatina, 14; !looping cough, 58; and croup, 9.

FIRST PautartEs ASSOCIATION. —• Yesterday being the first Tuesday in the month, the members of the above association mat, as usual, at Lumley . ' Rooms, in Chancery-lane. The subject appointed for discussion was "The consequeoce of neglecting n.taral law and natural religion." The chairman dwelt at length upon the fact that, during the early part of the last century, natural law was the great study of divines, statesmen, and lawyers ; that the supernatural part of Christianity was not euffbiently consideret during that time; that this led to the introdue tion of Weelryanissa—a system which virtually considers the natural law superseded by revelation instead of being confirmed by additional sanctions ; that modern theology was employed in rectifying the errors of Weslayanistn, and that it did not embrace a comprehensive view of the natural and supernatural parts of Christianity, nor did it grapple with the social evils of the day. lie further argued that natural law as a sacred science had given way to the modern gyatein of political economy, and hence arose the acknowledged con tusion and ii,satiefietory state of the law both in the aerate and in the courts of judicetare. The meeting was more numerously attended than usual, end satisfintioa expressed at the prospect of a revival of th:: study of eiva law is the universities. THE REPORT OF THE SAVINGS BANK OF PARIS for the year 1850 has just been published. From thts does moot it appears that there have been 191,395 deposits, of which 26,002 are new ones, with sums amounting to 25.678,602 fr. ; the bank has paid out 9,893,725 fr. ; it has purchased 130,720 fr. of rents for 2,706 depositors. The deposits during the pest year, therefore, show a marked improvement over those of 1b49. It that year the sums paid in amounted to 15,445,396 fr., whereas during the year 1850 they show an augmentation of 10,233,206 tr. One of the circumstances worthy of remelt with respect to the Paris Savings Beak is the admirable manner in which the accounts arc kept. It is certainly something wonderful that umlauts of such magnitude should he so clearly organised that the moment the year clone the position of every depo. utor, and the course of every act of the management during the preceding twelve months, can be at once ascertained - . Not only is this the ease, but, in consequence of the admit. able twin established by Y. Prevost, the shie direc-or, the position of every acennt can be made known, if necessary, at nay period of the year, within twenty-four hours after notice is gins of the same. It must not be forgotten that the snouts of the Paris Savings Bank are the most extensive of any establishment of the kind in existence. CLAISENCE RAlLWAY.—Yestertiay a special meeting of the Clarence R.diway proprietors was held at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cunha', for the purpose of sanctioning an arrangement for the disposal of the Clarence Railway to the directors of the Stockton and Hartlepool Railway Coup pony. Henry Blanshard, Esq., took the chair. The solicitor read the terms pr posed by the Stockton and Har tlepool Company, from which it appeared that 8,8001 was to be paid for the working stock, bonus, &c., and a sum of 21,2251. per annum so interest for the capital expended is the Clarence Railway, the whole of the various shares being made preferential according to their various interests one those of the Stickton and Hartlepool Company, the original shares being paid 60v. per annum. A proprietor silted whe ther this preference would be perpetual ? The solicitor said that all tail guaranteed stock might be paid off, but the Clarence shareholders might say, tf they liked, that instead of beteg paid off they would prefer placing themselves in the position of original shareholders in the Stockton and Hartle pool Company. Mr. Stings said the agreement now pro posed would be the mlvation of the Clarence Railway Com pany. (Hear.) Mr. Wall asked Hairy would art be Jejuna, themselves by agreeing to this propoul, looking at their po sition with regard to the Leeds and Think line.

In addition to what we stated yesterday about the p-ooeedings of the Southern Whale Fishery Com pany, we may observe, that according to tto last accounts received through Sydrey, the company's ship, Samuel Enderby, is reported to have done very ' well in whaling and sealing for the time she bad been out from the Auckland Islands. She left these islands for her whaling ground on the 3rd of April last. Herapath's Journal of Saturday contains the valuable yearly analysis of railway traffic returns by Mr..l. T. Hackett, ia which he continues the projee-1 tiun of the r arty carve of traffic. The line fur 1850 is nearly coincident watt that for 1849, and is con formable with the remainder of the aeries. The researches of Mr. Hackett go far towards determining the regular periods of increase and decrease of rail way tniffic, and to elucidate laws most important to be borne in mind for the proper understanding el' the weekly returns.

These returns, Token in one pint of view, siurieat rather unfavourable results. The cost per mile has in creased in the last three years, and the traffic per mile fallen off. A more careful consideration, however, very much modifies that view. In the first place, no allow ance is made for greater economy of transport, which has had a tendency to reduce fares, and thereby gross traffic; in the next place, it most be borne in mind that whereas the early returns did not include Scotch and Irish lines of poor yield, the latter returns do, in a considerable proportion, contain these depressing elements; in the third place these returns are evidently under a periodical influence, culminating towards times of great commercial activity, and in virtue of which traffic reached a maximum in 1813 and 1816, as it will in any years of like prosperity. Altogether, considering that the present returns are encumbered with expensive Scotch lines and with miserable Scotch and Irish traffic, a comparison is favourable for railway prospecte. The revenue seems to have reached its minimum, the establishments are being consolidated and working expenses reduced, the traffic is being accommodated and developed, loans renewed at lower rates of interest, so that altogether the year opens favourably for railways if commercial prosperity is maintained. It must not be forgotten that Mr. Hackett's table is not a comparison of the same things, for although the returns of the old Ants show an increase on the half-year, as appears in another part of the same paper, yet the gross receipts in Mr. Hackett', state ment, from the cause assigned, do not show a corres ponding operation. The increase on the half-year is thus represented : Cheeter and Holyhead Manchester and Sheffield Lancaster and Carlisle Lancaehire and Yorkshire York and Ncrth Midland S lath Essnris . _ - 67,300 .. 23 Ilerapath observes that the above and other examples given by him are those of lines in which there is lade or no increase in the mileage. One very valuable result produced by these eta flair's is the g ood effect of the excursion trains, and it is to be ho an effectual blow has bees struck at the revi val of the high fare system, which, in despite of experience, seemed at one timo lik e ly again to be prevalent. The ensuing yertr's operations will throw further light upon this subject, and the administra tion of railway traffic will at length rest on a settled and acknowledged basis. The advice. from Philadelphia and New Orleans received to day, with reference to the metal market, are as follows : Copper—Sales of 1,500 English sheathing copper at 21, and American yellow metal at 16! to 17 cts. per lb.. six months.

(sue the Niagara Fads Iris of Doe. 14) our citizens were atartlid on hearing a loud and terrific noise, resembling as neer es we can describe it, the heavy booming of artillery in quick succession, which shock the earth around us very sensibly. Part of the Horse shoe Fall on the Canada side had talks, carrying away about ten rods of the rock in length, by four in width. The canal boat, which tad been lodged for the last few months on the brick of the rock which has fallen, an I which has excited the admitation of all who beheld it, wan also carried over with the r :dr. It is now in the whirlpool, two metes down the river. dancing attendance on the freaks of that great maelstrom. The crash occurrel about 7 o'clock in the evening, and it it indeed providential that it fell at such as hour and at this se.son of Ike year. Had it been in the summer, when so many thou sands of etracgin are here, there uodoubtedly would have been persons crushed to de..th ; for it in precisely tee spot whence so many contemplate the prandeur of na•ure and behold the waters of the mighty cataract above them rushing terrifically over their heads that is vow tided wi , h huge maws of rock which have fallen fr m above. Toe loss of this portion of the reek has sot in the least dimicised in appearance the view of the Falls, but has, in our opinion, added to the scene, which looks grander and more sublime, if possible, than ever. REMARKABLE Fox.-A very large fox was shot last Friday in the parish of Dyke. He was long faioiliarly known fact of his h ownover that part t of the the powerecountry as of neetheC oripf bps Cripple .d ; tL a om the t. He measured fall f...rty eight inches in length, and weighed sixteen and a hell pounds. A past moy-tem examination dis closed several old wounds and bringer, such an fuzes are heir to, from guns and traps. His lame leg was the result of a wire snare, which he literally had put his foot into. Fin,lieg his sunning unable to undo the noose, he had pulled it till the wire cut through both skin and fl.sh. The wound was quits healed over,and the loop was found firmlyclasping the bone. At another time he had made a narrow escape MID a charge of slugs, one of which was Sled in the Done of his nose, and several others in hie tail. Oa another occasion the bone of one of hisancles had been sham red with shot, s d again another had broken one of his thighs. Yet, in spite of all those hair-breadth escapee he we,, until he received the fetal shot, a constant intruder in the judo, when his celebrity as • poultry killer was notorious. He is to be restored u near u • stuffer's art can make hint resemble life.—lnternees Cowrier. -.~:
