BC afILAZY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER AT CHELSEA. —Os Taseday • communication woe fade to the polies corn saissiosters of a burglary, folowed by two attompu at murder, having taken place between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning at Nn. 8, Manor-place, Koag's-road, Chelsea, the residence of Mr. Collage, a member of the English bar, and who holds a high judicial appointment at the Mauritius. At the regular hour the family, founding three servants, wired to rest, when • yam of the house appeared to be wife. Between 2 and 3 o'e Mr. Collings was awoke by hearing smoke in his bedroom, when, alter liateniog for • few seconds, he was satisfied there wet one, if not two, persons in the room. Upon making this discovery he instantly jumped oat of bed and ease in contact with some person, whom he at once grappled with. In sr other instant he was felled to the floor. Directly after Mr. Coiling' had left his bed, Mrs. Colliap, who was awakened, also get out to ring the bell, but before she could do so, she heard her husband groan, and fall, when ohs rushed towards the spot, and was ren dered twaseless by • blow. The consecutive falls and nits aroused the servants, who, upon entering the bed-room, found both Mr. and Mrs. Coiling@ spparently dead,bleeding profusely from wounds in the head. An alarm was reiwd, when it was found that an egress had been made by the street door. Yesterday, Inspector Field, of the detective, went to examine the premises, and from the results of the inquiries, no doubt remains that in the first instance • burglary had been effected, and from it blng pre sumed that Mr. Collings was in the habit of keeping • large quantity of eatable property in his bedroom, the burglars at once matte for that part of the house and had possessed themselves of Mr. Collings's gold watch end some rings, when they were disturbed by Mr. Collin" From the nature of the wounds indicted on Ur. Collings and his lady, the worst results are anticipated. In the court, of yesterday afternoon circumstances transpired which, in all probability, will lead to the speedy appre.en aka of the parties. FIRE AT MERTON, SrRREY.—Oa Tuesday bight the village of Merton presented a west unusual scene of con. lusios, owing to the outbreak ifs fire in lame stabling 80 ft. by 30 ft, and the total distraction of many buddinas, farm it implements, An The scene of destruction alms the Sic Bells public-house, an 1 on ifs flames spreading the illu minated atmosphere indicated to hundreds the loesllty of the disaster. With all possible expedition several engines —elm. from Tooting parish, private, and also that belonging to Mr. Drouet's establ• intent, were taken to the fire, and folio- Irately a good supply of water was obtainable, and neighbours and police, one and all, worked vigorously at the r opines. Meanwhile messengers had been sent to London for more assistance. The mot f: ark' tesults were anticipated, when Mr. Henderson, the (;reuses of the south division of the London establishment, arrant with a powerful engine and firemen trim Southwark Bridge road. To this may be at tributed the saving of the Sig B-111 tavern and other pro. perty. However, it was deemed necessary to keep the en gines continually at work, and it was not until yesterday morning that the safety of the town of Merton was coosidered certain. The lose is fearful in amount, but happily no lives were lost. The following is an official account returned to the various insurance offices:—The farm buildings, public house, and out houses vet Mr. J. Miller ; buildi• gs i except public-house, roof only damaged) all destroyed and contents therein, of great extent in value. I, cued in the Sun Fire office. FINANCIAL REFORM. MEETING OF FARMERS AT WOLVER- HAMPTON. Yesterday aft , noon the fawners of South Stafford shire and that part of Shropshire, held a meeting at the Swan Hotel, at Wolverhampton. G. B. Tuoareavcaorr, Esq., to the o'iair. There were about 300 or the tenant farmers present; " but," adds our reporter " the generality of this cla.s of the community in this part of the country being pretty well off, the affair appeared to be regarded by them as something of • joke, judging, at least, by thew appearance and conduct at the meeting." The enAIRICAH, in opening the bushier, said that he had endesvourrd to warn them fully of the approaching de predation which was sure to Woe place in the value of their property, unless some reps were speedily taken to avert it. The feet was that a great ;rooked was about to commence, and, thy bnaer it went on, t'.e more would fall in the heat of that contest. area: intern e had grown up under the protective system, and great bankens bad been cast upon the agriculturists. If they could sweep sway that debt he would bs a free-trader imme diately ; but he was not for sweeping away that debt until every man had been paid twenty . slid:lnge in the pound. He went on to amen that for the e ight hundred milli ns upon which we were now celled upon to pay interest, not more than six hundred mikli,ns had been received ; and it was unfair to expect the agriculturists to emanbate their share to pay the interest upon this debt now that protection was withdrawn, and they were thrown open to competition with the slave labour of foreign wineries. He strongly urged them sever sg.in to put their trust in Nun. The con servatives had (he said) lonely deserted them, and if they did not do their duty in the present session he advised the fanners to sin in a body and petition the Howe of Common, with so determined a spirit that a redress or their grievances was certain. He advised, too, a fair adjustment of the currency; if properly equalised, every man whose property was row worth 1501. would be worth 2001. The following reeolatinns were thereafter moved by various tenant- heaters, most of whom read long harangues denouncing Sir Robert Feel—bewailing their injuries and their distreree—gently hinting that Mr.Diaraeli's plea would only benedt the LiMllerds—in favour of a redaction of the molt tas—against a movement to re-impose the protecting duties, but seeking to reduce the burdens whisk they alter press unequally wen them—and dully, belying their mistrust of the bratnewis by urging die niensity of parlia ment paring teem meeenre to protest tederaldlit That the grist esemorkel free erode bier, emir wither re. ▪ le wit steps mei at preere.

OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM SUNDERLAND. building and other purposes this prom," le peculiarly valuable, and hence, as we shall see, an influ ence in the affairs of Bunderlan which smiloary circumstances would scarcely justify. Sunderland, Bishop - Weir:south, and Moak- Wearmouth, having, in 1832, a population of more than 40,000, were constituted a borough, by the Reform Art, under the designation of the borough of Sunderland, with the following limits—" the parish of Sunderland, and the several townships of Bishesp•Wearameth, Bishop-Wearmouth-Panns, Mouk-Wearmouth, Monk-Wearmorteh-Shore, end Southefiek.” The number of registered voters in 1832 was 1,378. The population has since increased to nearly 80,000, and the electorate, were the register complete, might now be swollen to 3,300. The first election which occurred in the newly en franchised borough is the key to almost all that has subsequently happened. It presented Tay peculiar features. Sunderland is a town in which commercial transactions are, to a very large eaten., represented by bills. The celebrateu question, " What is a pound ?" receives practicslly in Sunderland a ve7 different arawer to that which the propounder himself afforded. Tne consequence of this is that the influence of the different local banks is unusually great—or rather, we should sty, his been, for several of them heave lately fallen, hearing down with them half the paper fortunes of the people. Sir William :Chaytor, who, in 1832, was a- the heed of the bucking cornezion in Sunderland, became one candidate for its representa tion. He was regarded as an "accommodating" man, and comequintly received considerable support. But" the bank " was not by any means the only powerful influence in Sunderland at the time. From any commanding point of view at Bishop-Wear mouth you may me for away across a lire of black and &eery country, void of herb or foliage, or tree er flower—far away, when the smoke from factories and the glare of fires at the pits' months permit you, you may see an Oasis in th's coaly region—a spot that looks cool, and green, and richly timbered, a high bill, crowned with lofty trees, among which there rive now a mess:ye column visible to all the count, y round. This place is Lambton—tbe columns memorial to the late Earl of Durham. Reeund tt e base of the hill r n which it stands darkly flows the river Wear, on its way to Sunderland. It carries with it all the way memorials of Lambton: " keels," as they are called in the nor:h, filled with coals from the Lambtoa cedlicriee. At the river side at Bishop-Wes:mouth lie dozens of vess-ls ready to receive them. On the banks ere erected the " Maths," to which the coals are also brought by tramways fey m the pits to be at once dis charged, by a simple but curious mschincry, into the ship's hold. The Lambton collieries, in fec., give ma p' ment in one way er another to a very large num ter of p op'e in the borough, and Lord Durham on its enfranchisement thought he had some claim to a share in eta representalion. The candidate who took the field upon the Lamb ton interest was Captain the Hon. George Barring too, a grandson of Barrington, Bishop of Dur ham, and a lord of the Admiralty under Heti Grey's administration. As an official exercising Admiralty patronage, it was thought at the Treasury that Capt. Barrington would lee eve support from many voters in a sea-port town. The good old Treasury elec tirmeering rules were, however, by no means applica ble to the new boroughs of 1832. The shipowners of Sunderland, for example, properly judged that their connexion lay much more with the trenchant, in the City than with "my lords" at the Admiralty. They accordingly sent to London and brought down a can didate of their own. He was a formidable one—Mr. Alderman Wiliam Thompson, the chairman at Lloyd's, the late representative for the Coy of Lon don, a thorough-going reformer, as hes votes and speeches in thote days testified, a very recent Lord Mayor, a wealthy merchant, and a popular mar. TLe people could scarcely at the time have made a b. HAI. choice. But all these were purely Sun derland candidates. There was still another interest to slithery. Sir HedworthWilliamson, one of the mem bers for the c:mnly, had at the period very considera ble personal popularity ; and his property in Monk wearmouth gave him a great interest in the representa tion. He accordingly pu' forward his brother-in-law, Mr. David Barclay the West India merchant, at the head of the late firm of Barclay Brothers, who was entirely unconnected with the borough personally, but who was reputed of great wealth and of sound liberal opinions. It will thus he seen that there were four " Richmond. in the field." Perhaps few boroughs at the time had, upon the whole, a better choice. Their local interest had its candidate in the person of their townsman and banker, SirW. Chaytor; the coal interest, and the marine, were united in the person of Lord Durham's candidate, Cap'. Barrington; the shipping interest of the town bad brought forward the Chairman of Lloyd's; and a very popular and influential proprietor was represented by a candidate who in many re spects was ntlexceplotable. All the candidates were liberals, and professed themselves to be staunch to their creed. Curiously enough they were each and all of them extremely rich, and this turned out a very unfortnr ate incident for Sunderland. The elutes., at least as regarded three of tbe can didates, being likely to prove severe and doubtful, all sorts of artifices were employed to obtain votes. The first mistake made was the employment of a band by l one of the candidates. The others followed the ex ample. The band of course were obliged to have a meeting place. Their meeting place was a public house, and the frit nds of " the band " came there to drink with them. One public-house could not be used in this way without other publicans ing the'rs to be used also. This i d to all the public houses being thrown open by one party cr another, and to the town very speedily becoming the soene of the wont sort cf electioneering debauchery. Sir Wm. Chaytor and Capt. Barrington were re turned. As regarded the first the contest sever had been doubtful, and the latter got in by more votes than was expected. The numbers at this election were for Chaytor, 696; Barrington, 525; Barclay, 402; Thompson, 376. From first to lilt the contest was a most exciting ore: it, unhappily, left a painful record of the feet. Capt. Barrington suffered so severely from its effects, that he was unable to fulfil his duties as a member of the house of commons. In 1833 be was withdrawn altoacther from public life, and a new election took place to supply the vacancy occasioned by his resignalion of the seat. Alderman Thompson and Mr. David Barclay, the beaten candidates of the preceding year, both came forward again. Another close and angry contest fol lowed—a contest by no means conducive to the purity of Sunderland. On this occasion the Williamson in terest was worsted, and the Alderman was returned by a major:ty of 18. This contest, like the preceding, was one of personal feeling rather than of poli tical opinion, and was attended by considerable cost to both the candidates. Sir William Chaytor, who had been elected so triumphantly in 1832, proved himself a very ineffi cient member. In the first place, he was disposed to trim, which scarcely soi'ed Sunderland; in the second, he gave no increased accommodation in con sequence of being elected, and those who bad vot d for him in hopes that he would do so were conse quently disappointed and angry. The election I which occurred in '33 was, moreover, da maging to his interests by individually asso ciating two other candidates with strong parties of the electorate. A popular man and a skilful electioneer° r might have turned this much to his own advantage, by getting the s end votes from the friends of b .th parties; but Sir William Ciraytor was neither popular nor skilful. Wh n the election of 1835 came, he was very low on the poll indeed. and Alderman Thomp son and Mr. D. Barclay had an easy victory. The numbers on this occasion were—fur Thompson, 844 ; Barclay, 709 ; Chaytor, only 389. Thus the two great influences at Sunderland, so successful at the first, were in three short years entirely supplanted by those which originally had been defeaten. It was in this pat lament that Alderman Thomrson ratted —first joining with the dilly, and then openly associating himself with the tories. Looking at the political feeling in Sunderland, he would never, you would have supposed, have stood a chance again. But a tide was setting in in his favour, in consequence of circumstances apart from politics and purely of a local nature. About this time there was a great con test in Sunderland respecting the construction of some docks. A scheme had been proposed for forming docks on the south side of the River Wear, the oast of which was to be defrayed by what is called a " parsing toll* on "e snipping bound along the coast. The pr.rject, it it could be carried out, seemed likely to proves lucrative specu lation; and Sir Hedworth Williamson and others who thought so, got up a rival scheme based upon the same Far above the running titer, an iron arch spins the Wear, within a quarter of a mile of its embowhure. From the decks of ships that sail under it, the bridge may look like a fixed black rainb)w over-head—so great is ita span, so high its elevation, and so airy is its aspect. This bridge—certainly one of the greatest works of art in England—connects the parishes of Bishop-Wearmou.h and Monk-Wearmotrh, the first on the south, and the latter on the north of the river side. Were we going to aFetk of them ceclesiastically,we should have to point out how the names of these parishes denote the tenure of the soil. Bishop-Wearmouth is, for the most par, held by copy of court roll under the Bishop of Dur ham's minor of Houghton-le-Spring ; Monk-Wear month, once the seat of a monastery, which had in the Saxon days Ceolfrid for an abbot, and the Vene rable Bede fur an ornament, is still the propery of the Dean and Chapter of Durham. Very little his the church done for either place, and very glad are the people to find pr)perty which they can hold un der any other landlords. On both sides of the river there are spots over which the church has no control. On the Bishop's side there has grown up at the point of the river nearest to the sea the overcrowded town of Sunder land, in recent days of such parr ount importance in the locality as to be constituted a distinct parish, and to give a general designation to the surrounding district. On the Monk-Wearmouth side the shore of the river and the sea is the property at as individual—Sir Hedworth Williamson. For fillip THE Farman, TEIT.REWAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1849. or similar plans, but placing the docks on the north, or ' Moak Wearmouth, side of the river instead of on the son. h. The contest between the North and South Dock parties breams most violent and atrimordoos. The ant session the South Dock Bill was carried in the Commons, but thrown oat in the Lords,throughtbe in tuitive mainly of Lord Ravensworth. The nexty ear the North Dock Bill was brought in, and preyed to a di visim ; and that we■ lost likewise. Sir Hedworth ' Willainson and his friends then said, " We will ac cept a bill for the construction of them docks at Monk Weermouth, without the clause imposing a passing toll." The bill, thus curtailed of its fairest feature, was assented to by parliament. The North Decks were conetructed. They proved a m'serable failure, and scene years after (such lathe mutability of human affYrs) ware bought up by Mr. Hudson, at a small cost, for the use of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company, to which concern they now belong. In the midst of this great dock contest occurred the general election of 1837. Alderman Thompam and the Sunderland ship-milers wine for the South Docks ; Sir H• dworth Williamson and Mr. Barclay for the north. As regarded the peoile of SunderMndi there can be no doubt that the feeling was in favour of the south &eke ; indeed, as circumstances have since proved, that scheme is one of no small importance to the town. Partly with a desire to turn out the tory, and partly from a wish to have a townsman in t':e House of Commons, it was determined to bring forward a third candidate. The party selected was Mr. Andrew Wlft., a c hip. owner and konmaster in Sunderland, so greatly esteemed there both for his private and public conduct, as to be popularly known by the appellation of "Rout at Andrew White." This contest proved a most severe and expensive one. The treating, espe cially by the friends of Messrs. Barclay and Thomp son, was general: were we speaking of a town of lee size . than Borderland, we should say that every public house in the place was opened. It is estimated that little less then 7,0001. went in this way upon th's occasion ; in fact, to two of the candidates "money was no object," as they Lai on previous occasions abundant'y tmtifled. The town, which had been ecbased sualcient'y before, now reached almost the lowest point of political degrada tion. Under any other combination of eircums'ances there can be little doubt but that Alderman Thomp son would have be n rejected ; but the Dock feeling was in his favcar, and his friends made the most of it. At the close of the contest the North Dock member was thrown out, and the South Dock mem ber end Mr. Andrew White returned. The numbers on this occasion were—for Thompson, 688; Wtite, 628; Barclay, 591. The election is supposed to have cost the three candidates nearly 10,001)1.; of which amount Messrs. Thompson and Barclay did net ex pend far short of 8,000/. In 1841 " Honest Andrew White," who had made a very useful member, refrei from the represeutat;on His private circums'ancet, and the probably cost of a second severe contest, were the cones of his resigna tion. Those who appreciate a sincerely honourable and consistent member regret his loss to his native town and to the House of Commots. On this occasion there was no third candidate. Parties had had enough of fighting, and were glad for once of a peaceable election and a compromise to obtain it. Alderman Thompson and Mr. Barclay had fought the town four times: on this occasion they were only too glad to be permitted to come in without another contest for the victory. So things stood when Sir Robert Peel toA office. IRELAND. DITALTN,AIiCR 20. The cholera has broen out in Ennis. Several casts occurred there on Friday last, and two deaths were recorded on Saturday.

At Limerick there were not less than 89 extra cases of cholera, besides thou in hospital. The answer of Pope Pins to the address from the catholic of Cork has been received. It is of a formal character, thanking those from whom the address proceeded, and avoiding entering into political de tails. The answer was accompanied by a letter from Mr. Henry Meagher, one of the Pope's body guard (and brother to Mr. Thomas Francis Meagher), in which he describes his heirless as being saddened in spirit at the calamities which have befallen the church. The provincial papers record several cases of death by starvation. In the Nenagh Union there are 3,019 paupers, out of whom 43 died last week. The Fermoy Union is a einzular instance of good management. It has a balance of 0,1931. 17e. 6d. to its credit. DILIADIFUL MURDEILZ-On Saturday night last. the house of Robert Arnold, a tenant on the estates of Mr. Ormsby Gore, residing on the lands of Llranommer, in the parish of Cloone, and county of Leitrim, was attacked by an armed party, who fired several shone through the windows, whilst Arnold, his • ifs, child, and uncle (Robert Todd) were eating their sup, er. One of the shots took fatal effect upon the uncle, wbo instantly expire d. The assas sins then went to the house of another tenant, named Flood, and also fired several rounds, without, however, ceasing any mischief Immediately on the murder of Todd being made known, Mr. William Lauder, of Mough Rouse, Famish, the agent of Mr. Gore, proceeded, in company with Mr. John Lauder, J.P., and a party of frolics., to scour the country in search of the miscreants, and suc ceeded in arresting several suspicion. charade -I, but none of whom have been as yst sufficiently identified to warrant their committal to gaol. It may be recollected that about twelve months since Mr. Lauder was compelled to eject several de faulting tenants from his property, and to substitute in their planes a more respectable class of persons, Arnold and Flood being among the latter. A great outcry was raised at the time by the anti-landlord price, and Mr. ome and his agent were denounced in the most unmeasured terms of abuse as " exterminators, " Sc. The murder of pow Todd is the re sponse to these base calumnies. It was only within the last few days that Mr. William Lauder received instruc dons from Mr. Gore to found an agricaltaral school for the benefit of his tenantry, and allotting a slam of money to be given in prism. Large sums have also been spent in drain age and reclaiming land, so as to provide employment for the people ; but all to no purpose. Mr. Lauder, however., is resolved to resist the murderous combination formed spinet him, as he means to eject every disreputable tenant from the property, and In the event of the system of intimi dation deterring others from taking the lands, he will hold them in his own poesenion. With this object in view he has arrived in Dublin, for the purpose of soliciting from the authorities an extra force of police, to be stationed in the neighbourhood of the recent outrages.—Dublin Evening Mail.

Clisborna were present, to determine whether that gentleman @betted appear m a candidate for the repreaentcion of South Derby shire. A letter was afterwards addressed to the committee for eanductini Mr. Mundy's election, stating " that the re quisition to Mr. Stunt to allow himself to be put in notuftta &o as a candidate at the ensuing election for South Derby shire we. presented this morning, but that he hae declined to bonnie a candidate." THE FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY MOVEMENT.- The Land Societies recently organised in the neighbourhood of Birmingham promise to be successful beyond all antic:ln tionp the movement is spreading to all the towns in South Staffordshire ; hundreds ars weekly enrolling their names as members, the most part of then consisting of artisans; and in a very short tine it is quite clear that the representation of North Warwickshire, But Worcestershire, and South Staffordshire, will be rescued from the aristocratic in fluence which at present controls it. On Monday night, the eosin, at Birmiagham purchased 27 acres of freehold land at Smallinath for 9,0001. ; this when allotted, will make from 450 to 600 votes for North Warwickshire, which, together with 230 from an estate at Bloomsbury in the same county, recently purchased, will make nearly 700 new voters for this division of the county since Christmas no. This sonery now contains upwards of 1,800 mamben. On Tuesday night, Mr. W. B. Smith (who has been nudely instrumental in organisisg the movement), Mr. James Taylor, and a deputation from the parent society, attended a meeting at Wednesbury, in South Staffordshire. Benjamin Round, Esq., occupied the chair, and there was a very' numerous 'Pendant*. The meeting was svidreseed by the deputation and by the Rev. 8. Hunter, of Wolverhampton. Resolu does were paned in favour et establishing a society, and about 120 members joined at once. On Friday, In next week, a meeting is to ba held at Wine, for the purpose of establishing a society there. On the 2nd of April the Coven try society takes ;mansion of its first estate, on which °era sion there is to be a public procession ; Sir Joshua Wens. ley, M.P., Mr. Bright, M.P., and Mr. Scholedeld, M.P., have promised to be present. On the following day, a meeting IS to be held at Bradford, in Ycrluhire ' and on the 4th of April the society will break ground at Derby, so that this organisation, which had a small beginning at Birmingham In 1847, is already fast spreading throughout the coustry : its effect at the next election will be immense ; but the tendency it will have to produce habits of saving amongst the people, and the advan tages that will result therefrom, especially in such districts as South Staffordshire, where the improvidence of the miners has been hitherto carried to so fearful as extent, will appear to tholes who Milli anything of their circumstances and, condition, almost incalculable. ---- -- TREATMENT Or LUNATICS IN — PRIVATE ASYLUMS-- The subject of the treatment of lunatics in the Fishpond and other private asylums in this c unty was again brought before the Gloucestershire Court of Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday. The Chairman, B. Parnell, Esq. said that since the last quarter maims he had, in conjunc tion with Dr. Lyons, made an investigation Wei the manage ment of certain private lunatic asylums in the county, end he had prepared a report thereon, which he read to the court. The oases which had been inquired into since the last quarter sessions had reference to the treatment of persons confined in the Fishponds Asylum, kept by Mr. Nathaniel Smith, and the Ridgway.house Asylum, nept by Mr. Ogilvie, both near Bristol. The report first detailed the result of in vestigations at the Fishponds Asylum, and the first of them was the case of Mr James Drury, referred to at the last quarter sessions. This person, said the report, had, been originally got into the Fishponds asylum 20 yeah ago, and he had been detained the whole of that time, against his will, without an inquiry "de lunatico." The second ease referred to was that of W. L. B—, confined in the Fish ponds asylum in March 1834, end the report read by the chairman quoted the minutes made by the visitors to the asy lum is the asylum books on this case, showing that the patient bad been commonly hsbited in ragged habiliments made out of an old blanket. In 1834 it was reported of him that he had not been out of doors for some years, and that he had not for the space of ten years been dressed in coat, waist coat, and treween. His usual dress consisted of a waistcoat and apron. Cases 3 and 4 were those of P. 8. A— and H. A—, two brothers. The chairman having received intimation that great cruelty had been exercised towerds one of these' unfortunate gentlemen, and that of 7001. a year left for providing comforts fur them, they only had the benefit of about two-sevenths of the amount, he had taken up the case, and furni-hed the particulars to the Lunacy Commiesioners, under whose advice he had placed the matter in the hands of the " Alleged Lunatic Friend's Society." It appeared from the will of the frrher of these two gentlemen (extract* from which were read to the court), that on his death he left 20,0001. to be divided amongst his nine children. To the two lunatics were left 3501. a year each, in order, as the testator expressed it, to administer to their comforts, as much as was practicable; the unapplied portions of that income to be reserved and accumulated, and at their death divided between the remaining children—four eons and three dangle- Mrs. On the death of the testator, in 1824, his son, B. A—, became executor of the will, and placed his brothers, P. B. A— and H. A—, in the care of Dr. Bompae, at the Fish ponds Asylum, paying him 180!. a year far each of the patients. In 1844, this was reduced to 1101. including extras, and that sum continued to be amid annually up to this time ; thus leaving n' less than 480/. ner annum to ac cumulate for the benefit of the other brothers and sisters. The patients were near relatives of Dr. Bompes's family. The opinion of Dr. Lyons and of the chairman, after seeing the patients,was, that the only chance of restoring them was to remove them from the asylum, and afford them exercise in the open air. One of these unfortunate gentlemen had been confined fur forty-throe year', and the other for twenty-eight year', in a lunatic asylum; with such ample means at disposal, there was no rea son why they should be confined at all in an asylum. They had not, since the death of their eldest brother, been visited by any one of their brothers or sisters, and in fact were dealt with as though they were consigned to a real, as they were actually to a living tomb. The decument read by the chairman then referred at great length to the case of T. H—, confined in Ridgway House, kept by Mr. Ogilvie. In conclusion the chairman stated that, after having fully investiga'ed the case he and Dr. Lyons had come to the deeided conviction that Mr. H— was not in a state of in sanity, and that he should have the liberty of a private house, and have the opportunity of participating in rural pursuits, of which he was fond. Although he had evinxd depression of spirits and variable health, he could not be pronounced insane. He concluded by moving the adoption and printing of the report, which, after some discussion, was carried.—Mr. Ogilvie, manager of the Rdf way House Asylum, addri wed tee court at some length, in answer to the charges contained in the above ad • dross and report of the chairman. He defended his whole conduct in this matter, declared that Mr. H— was virtually insane, dangerous to be at large, and confined only upon necessity. He produced numerous letters alleged to have been written by Mr. H—, which bore the impress of eccen tricity, if aot of iosanity.—The proceedings closed with Mr. Ogilvie's address, and occupied until a late hour. FINANCIAL REFORM. —At a meeting of the Btth Liberal Association, on Monday evening, Admiral Gordon in the chair, it was resolved to apply a portion of the funds to the purchase of the tracts issued by the Liverpool Finan cial Reform Association, to be distributed to the liberal electors of the city. A committee was also appointed to carry the above resolution into effect. It was el.° resolved that a public meeting should be convened in Easter week to petition parliament in favour of the financial reform, pro pounded by Mr. Cobden and other reform measures likely to promote the sun. COMMISSIONS BY THE LORD LIEUTENANT.—J. A. Herbert, En , and G. CST!, Esq. to be Deputy Lieutenants. 'Rusk. ST. JAME9'B.—..OPERA COMIQUE.— Mademoiselle Cbuton, whose engagement is drawing near its close, had her benefit last evening, when she performed the character o' /As Catarina, in Auber's comic opera, " Les Diemen de la Couroane." Few foreign pieces are better suited to the English public than this opera, which has been rendered very popular, not only by its performance in its original form by the Brussels company, but by its production in an English dress at more than one of our theatres, especially the Princess's, where Anna Thillon's clever personation of the heroine was received with great favour. But it has never been so completely performed in England as on the present occasion. Mdlle. Charton's re presentation of the disguised sovereign was full of dignity, grace, and spirit, and Auber's airy and elegant music dis played her highly polished style and brilliant execution to the greatest advantage. She was moot cordially greeted when she first presented herself, and warmly and incessantly applauded during her whole performance. We trust that the reception given to this charming and accomplished performer daring the whole of her engagement will produce a renewal of it next season. The character of Don Henripose was per formed by Condom, who was, we think, the ongtoal repre sentative of the part at the OpEra Comilla.: it is hardly necessary to my that he sustained it admirably. Mdlle. Oulehard, in the part of Diana, acted pleasantly, and sang prettily ; sad Baguet's bass voice told well in the part of Rabollecto. The whole ensemble of the opera wu excellent, and the orchestra, in particular, accompanied de lightfully. The theatre was crowded. Her Royal High ness the Dachas, of Kent, and many persons of distinction, I were present. ------ RAYKAmar.—Planche's popular drama "The Brigand" wee revived at this theatre last evening, and Mr. James Wallack appetred in hie original eharaver of Alla , eandro Massaront, a character which he has made entirely his own, and in which no other actor has even attempted to rival him. Lest night he performed the part as well as ever, and completely engaged the sympathies of the audience in favour of his hero, whom hr certainly makes the most pleasant, and even interesting, Mika, that ever ap peared on the 7. The picas altogether was well act d, the other prinei characters bring performed by Tilbury, RoVI. Van anhoff, Howe, James Bland; Mrs. Back end Hiss P. Horton. This lest lady's sketch of the i ltlgm wits was admirable. wr r • by a piece in one act called ...fae i rumpetee , tio oxidize," a very tarcical, but lively and amusing production. Air. Keeley enacts the part of Mae Tallboy, a trumpeter in the troop s o f th e p ar li ament , at t h e time when the town of St. Alban's was invested by the emali.n on the eve of the Restoration. Mrs is about to be married to NeUy (Miss Reynolds). a laundress in the town. Sir Charles Rivers, a royalist officer, who ha • love again is the towa„, enters it in disguise with the view of steins his saistreas, and, finding himself in damer, takes refuge en the house of Nelly, his fcatereieter. They are surprised together by Nelly's uncle, the mayor, and to are her Meter-brother from discovery, she, with • woman's wit, announces him to bee uncle as her sweetheart Tibia Tallboy. The uncle directs the marriage to proceed forthwith, and the pair find them selves in the dilemma of being obliged to marry while eo.b. has a lover of his and her own. It the midst of this whimsical perplexity the confusion becomes worse cow founded by the antral, first of Tiles Tallboy, who comes in breathless haste to keep his appoinmect, and then of Sir Charles's inamorata, who canes to nteet her lover. The imbroglio is capitally kept up by a suocession of laughable mistakes and cross-purposes, till the intelligence of the triumph of the royalist cause enables Sir Charles to clear up matters by discovering himself. The character of the mys tified trumpeter is gaits in Keele)'s way. His quaint grottagne humour produced incessant roars of laughter. The royalist officer was pleasantly personated by Him P. young Horton, and Miss Reynolds, ss toss smart and lively. A good deal of music is introduced ; too much, indeed : for there are several mediocre concerted pieces, which are only drags upon the action, and would be much bettor away, though there are a couple of pretty balled., the one sung by hese Reynolds and the other by Mies Horton, which are worth preservation. The piece was very favourably M. OtilTOd. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL. OXFORD, Magca 21.—The feilowieg were the results of the voting at the Convoestion-house yesterday on the proposed row statutes.
