The 'hair was taken by Lord A. Lennox, the chairman of the board of directors. The report stated that daring the past year 191 proposals had beta made to the baud, is respect of which 107 pelieille had been greeted' mem, eiroranees to the mount of 62,7001., and fielding an annual Income of 3,6012.45. 6d. Many of the policies 'Eared in the 13.ivereign wen issued in connexion with loans. During the crisis that prevailed in the commereial world towards the clue of 1847 and the beginnieg of the past year, the e!:cetera thought it prudent to suspend, almost entirely, all operations arising from that deportment of business. They had recently resumed to some extent what so tar had proved a safe and most valuable source of profit, and the fella' had been that between the 9th of October and the prerect time 67 proposals bad been mdmitted, 47 of which bad been secepted.—Mr. Morgan, actuary of the Equitable Amirante Oflte, reported that the clear profit accruing to the oeaspany, after the payment of every expense, wee 3,6931. Is. 4d. up to the 9th of Octcber last Two deaths had occurred, involving claim to the amount of 9001. Aa annuity, for which a couridention of 4001. as received, had fallen in. The directress had declared all shores forfeited upon which the last call had not been paid. They recommended a divi dend of 4 per cent for the put year. The report was adopted ; the retiring directors were re elected ; the auditors were re.appointed ; and a dividend of 4 per cent , clear of income tax, declared. The Chairman then moved a resolu tion, which was passed, to the effect that the preliminary ri peness, in justice to the original shareholders, be extended over a period of not lees than 25 years. The thanks of the meeting wen then telted to the noble chairman and the board of directors, and the proceedings terminated. ROYAL SANTIAGO MININO COMPANT.—The half , yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at their oases, Broad-siren-buildings, I. L. Goldamid, Eel , in the chair. Mr. Docker, the secretary, read the report, whence it appeared that in the half year ending Anew last, tne ex penditure of the company had been 9,1391. 19s. 3d , of which 5,0001. had been spent in mining developments and re named., among the smelts of which had been the discovery of a new Portend cis, which promised a considerable yield. The ore raised in the saw p, rid from the existing P. rte. latencies amounted to 600 toes, the pr duce of which had been 3,8001., which, aided to the toter, st upon the oen.pasy's capital, made 4,1141 2a. IW. In the two months following August, the yield from the same mines had been 242 tons, and the beat letters gave the direr ors reason to expect that the yield for the then ensuing five months would be 130 tons a month, which, even at present priors, would folly cuter the expenditure, and, the diree'ors hoped, with the produce of the new Pertetrupia, enable than at their next ranting to declare a dividend.—ln answer to a shareholder, the chairman stated that the law suit in relation. to Sanctuary, was now the subject of negotia• lions, the result of which, he hoped, would be satisfactory. The report was thou nuardmously adopted, and thanks having been voted to the directors for their conduct of the compsey'e affairs, the meeting separated. New CITY CSUn.—About 70 members of this in- Whitton met yesterday at what is termed an " Honour din ner," at the Club-boom, in Badughall-street, Mr. Friend, the chairman of the managing committee, presiding. After the eustoosary tributes to malty, Mr. Steadman proposed " Prosperity to the New City Club." which, he said, woe established for the purpose of providing accommodation, on the dish principle, for persons engaged in business in the City daring the day. It was nu, however, a club for the mere porpthes of eating and drinking ; it was an institution which it was biped would be a test of character and integrity ; for although the sonscription was fixed at the most moderate "mount, Vs., one guinea a year, end half-a-guinea entrance, no member was admitted unless his honour and in ' ler ity w, re established to the satisfaction of the members, while ava,..ng so that every member might be sure that 4 I; him self of the themesie arrangements of the association he would meet on'y with men of -igb moral character. The economy of the models clubs Cr the middle clews was in this in stants blended with the strictest regard to personal worth. The election was by ballot —Tee chairman, in a subsequest speech, intimated that it was intended, as the funds would admit, to add to the accommodation now afforded a library and lectures on literary and seethe& subjects. At present, all the leading journals and period. kale were supposed. In the rum of the evening it was explained that the club bad been esta blished in June het; that the number of members was now between 200 and 300; that 300 would be sufficient to meet all exposers • that th e members were under us peen nirsry responsiblily beyond the amount of their subscrip. tions and entranee.money, certain members of the committee having bound theme. Ives for all extra expenses, should there be any. The club at present affords to its mends. it dining. reams, in which a dinner may be bad for a shilling, smoking and reading-rooms, and the nasal see onmodation for reading and business; and, ae an illustration of the adventures of the system in point of economy, it may be stated that thi., which was the teased ter third " honour " dinner, and consisted of three courses, including venison and game, was furnished to the members ar &I. per head. MOUNT ST.

Thirty-nine destitute young females, having good references to character, and having been for some time watched over by the matron, have been by her re commended to sienatiens; whiist no less than 117 other female savants sheltered in this hospice, and evidently rimed from destitution and crime, have by their own exer tions obtained 'nastier., and utheequently visiting the matron, have returned thanks for the timely aid afforded them. It I. alto gratifying to stab that 248 artistic' of mi. ou callings, who have been inmates of this asylum, have, since they obtained employment, called to return thanks fur the relief they received whilst destitute. INQUEST, YESTEEDAY.—A DEAD BODY PARTLY DIMOVIPAD Dv RAM—Before Mr. T. Wall, at the Royal Campion, Limon grove, as to the death o f r. A. N. Armstrong, aped 65. formerly surgeon of the 6th Royal Veteran Battalion of Onside lately carrying on business as servos sad menthes:ln at No. 18, Berl-street East, Edit wanerosd.—Polionnen Bennett said he discovered the body of the deceased, on Saturday evening last, in the bath-parlour of his house, No. 18, Berl -street ; he had bens Winced to go there by Mr. Yates, a neighbour, ;who said that as the gutters had been up Err eight or ten days put he feared the doctor was dead ; he obtained admission by the parlour window. The body was lying wrapped in an old coat in front of the fire-place, and the parlour door was open, and two dogs same running in and onr, sending at the body, and then running away. A 3 the alt had been eaten of the face, and the hands partially. On inerelliag the body then was found 16e. in elver and copper, and in an old stocking in disarmer of the room was towed 301. 16s. fld. in gold and silver. In the room were found eight pistols, six of which were large berm pietels, all loaded, some of thvm with as mane as six bullets. The policeman found two diplomas bearing deceased's name, one from the Royal Col. lege of Surgeons and the other from the Apothe caries' Company, bearing date respectively March and April, 1816. He heti searched the deceased's letters and papers, and then was not one bearing dam later than 1841. He had endeavoured to soak out some relatives, one of whom, be undentood, was engaged in the service of h.r Majesty at one of the palaces, and other who resided in the Commercial-road, but bad not be. n successful.—Mr. H Ohre, surgeon, of lamoingrove, said when he saw tne %rely it was lying on the floor in a very filthy condition, enveloped Is. an old coat. The body was in suck an emaciated condi tion that it presented ell the aopearanm of having been re duced to the lad stare of exhaustion. The whole of the interwoven of the his wen removed, end the entire boon, from the top of the forehead to the bottom of the Mower jaw, were completely denuded of flesh.— By the Conner My opinion is that the flesh had been rotes away by some saimal or other. I, at first, supposed it might be by the dogs which were fruited running antic, but I thought it impassible that dege would be enabled to have cleaned the orbits of the eyes in completely out. I should my rather that it must have been rats or mice.—Mr. Obeli, la eoatianatthn, said that the flesh was also eaten. from both heads, sad that since the body had been locked up and the dogs removed, he found they feed been still more eaten. He foamed, at the ap-z of the right lung, a large seders teaching the clavi le. This abscess had 'woken and discharged itself into the air passages of the lung, no doubt causing death. The demesed had evidently been dead for 10 days.—The jury returned a maid of "Natural Death." ROBBERY OF MAIL BAGS.-EXAMINATION OP TSB ACCUBED. At the.

At Taunton, be lied thug removed into the waiting-nem, and the carriage wag searched more pardrithaiy ; under the seat on which they bad been sitting a handkerchief war dis covered containing 13 or 14 parcels, taken hom the ittil begs, end all directed to ponies in the West of England. la thus carriage packet two nape mesh. are foetid, which bore evident marks of having been freshly made ; there was .l-o a black cap, well calculated for purposes of disguise. There tied mace, he understood, been taken from Poole a pair of false moutachice, which it was of some impute:ice to not ee, became it wupoesible they might be found to bear upon • simile robbery of the cep mail train, which hod haopened on the it., night. He gave them into eastody of the super intendent of the Plymouth pace, who W.ll a paweepr by the train ; and on reaching Exeter they were imatediatel) handed over in custody. Joseph Illiyabeart, the guard of the down mail trait, ' stated that, as reaching Bristol, a report wee made that the bags of the up train had been opened between Reefer and that place. The practice is hie the mail guard to remain in the carriage with the bags between Bristol and London. both oa *sup and dew° journeys ; but between Bristol and Exeter he rides in the sunup carriage —which is a separate compartment—with the sorting clerks. Oa reaching Bridge. water, the mail guard called his attention to the fact that the mail begs had been opened, and, on going into the car riage, he saw that many of them were tied up in a different way frost that In width they were usually gut from the Posteece ; the original fastenings had evidently been cut, sad pieces et the arias were strewed about the floor of the carriage ; other pieces of precisely the same description were subsequently found upon the carpet In the cameo where the prisoners had been sitting. Mr. Clarke, the night superintendent at the Taunton ds- Hen, proved that he scanned the carriage in which the psi BOOM had travelled, at *4. Barlow's request, and found under the seat a number of letters and percale, which he handed over to Mr. Gibbons, superintendent of the Pay- mouth police. Mr. Gibbons produced the parcels, which were, with scarcely any exception, of a bulky eharaeter, and such as were likely, from their apposeata e, ti conceit valuable pro party. When be fleet searched the prisoners at Bridgewater, be found a gold watch and mosey on each, but nothing to ' cornett them with the robbery. The mail guard having beta obliged to go on to Plymouth with the bags, and other evidence bang necessary to com plete the CON, the magistrates remanded both prisoners until Saterday. The prisoner Poole was for some time in the ser vice of the Great Western It 41w4 Company's a guard ; the other man is entirely unknown. It sppean that on inquiry or the gentleman riding is the same compartment of the carriage, it was ascertained that Poole and tee other pesos with him entered the carriage at Bristol, crowing the compartment in which he sat, and going into that one on the of aide of the carriage, on seating themselves in which they shut the door, aid pulled down the green oiled. The . gentleman fell asleep on the journey, and did not in consequence observe any act on the part of the persons who travelled with him. Ho adds, that whirs the parties crossed him, some pieces of string dropped from the trick( ts of ens of them. These, it ie supposed, may have been intended to retie the bags after having opened them. In addition to the letter,, a woolitapler's book, which, it is 'append, was used by the thieves to hang on to the tender when leaving the first-clue carriage, was also dis covered. The ledge along which they MOB have walked to obtain entrance to the tender is only an iech and a hall wide. The Exeter bag was not disturbed, probably on ac count of the thieves fearing that, if they had tampered with this, there might have been some fear of discovery before they left the train. There appears to be very little dcuht that both robberies were the tie ork of the parties in custody. A gentleman who travelled up from Plymouth to Exeter by the mail, on Mon day night, remembers two individuate getting to the next compartment of the carr:sge he *coupled (which was the next to the Post °Roe tender), at Star Cross. One of them was disguised as a foreigner, and wore a pair of =oust& aim, and it will have been observed that a pair of =mote chioe were found on Poole.

Ex pressed • tei-h to Dr. Bumps. on teverel occasions to be al lowed to gore church, and was refused,which srexed bim very much. Asked Dr. Bompas to allow him to walk out, but he would net allow him to go beyond the walls of the WS btalißerli. There was a small garden there, v. blab he went into. The keepers Hunt and Smith, witness thought meant to be civil to him, but another keeper Barnwell, was very I rough to him Wits's, was locked in the strong room and kept there a very long time, and he 'placed wrist locks on him, which hen him very much. Was put in the strong room for having lost his temper and broken some windows. Was irritated at not being allowed to go to church. Besides the bons on his wrists had a chain placed round his legs. Witness believed round both legs. Could walk out only with the elt.in Inswing at his feet. After he bad them on Mr. N. Smith (surgeon) saw him, and afterwards the shackles were removed. Coesidered that his removal from the department in which he first was, to another ward or department, puludicially affected his health and also affected his mind by makkg him very sad. The room (in the seemed department) was a very man one with iron bate outside of 'he window; there might have been • chair in it, but there was no table, no washing boson or water, no night-stool, no water to dr:nk. There were shutters inside which were allot on some occasions, and then the room was in perfect dark ens They were shut when witness went to bed on two or tree s. Was ke, t in that ward two months or more than that. Bainwell's treatment exasperated him greatly, and he endeavoured to escape. Gut out the pad lock that fastened the window on the inside. Got oat the staple, and then got the bars from the other side by means of a gimlet he had. Did not fleet Me escape ; the nom in which he then was was boarded, but in consequence of his attempted escape toeing discovered, he was placed in the strong-room, which had • stone floor. It was • square room, with a skylight to the top; was exceedingly cold there. There was no table nor chair there. Slept is the strongroom several nights. There was a bed, and a night convenience was brought him. When he went to bed he was fastened. Had on the strait waistcoat in the strong room, and was chained in the other room. It was a plain iron chain ; me end was fastened to the bedstead, and it was then lotked to his ankle. It made his leg emoadesally sore. Did nut remember that Dr. Bomru ever visited him whilst chained in this way. It had an exasperating effem on his mind, and debilitated his bodily health. The chaining continued until the arneistrates ordered it to be discontinued. Could pet out of bed with great difficulty when it was os, but could only get out one leg. Upon one occasion a pa tient at the dinner table put the sleeve of his cost in his plate, and upon his expostulating with him, witness was taken by Barnwell, who used rough laugusge, and put him into the strong-room, slid was kept there till nine at might. Had no dinner, but some ti a was allowed him. Wristloeks were put on his hands, there was nothing in the room he could sit on, and he was obliged to tit upon the stone floor. Felt exceedingly cold. Tee keepers took his shoes away Irma him. After a time %Ley brought hint some dippers. One of the wristlocks was removed while he took his tea, and it was thot replaced. At night he WU removed to bed, when he believed he was chained in the same manner as before. Corn pleiued of this woo than once to Dr. Bomees ; but was not aware what *newer he made. The chaining continued a lung time. Complained to Mr. Mirehouse of being chained and ill treated, and the nest night the keepers came after he was in bed, and using some remarks as to the justices put anottur lock on the chain : the following night it was re- , moved. Soon after this witness went bock to his original I department, and he was allowed to go to church and walk out, mad his health improved. Witawn afterwards thanked Dr. Boma, fur his attention This woo after he was allowed goto out and go to church. The iron ring did not produce any sore on the leg : it was smooth. Winn Barnwell put the extra lock on the chain he said, " I will teach you to omelets to the magistrates, or some expression of the kind."—Cron-examined by Mr. Keating: Have made a statement to Mr. Wa.:rought, which was written down Have been in other asylums—five or six I aSould think Hon not escaped from any of them, and don't remember stating that I had.

I was at Dr. Bos.paa's about a math before • chain was used. I ems allowed to walk in the garden. Dr. Bootees gave no reason for refusing me leave to go out. Was in the asylum a week perhaps before I began to break windows. Broke them becalm I was out of temper. Might have broke them four or five times. Broke the windows of the drone room meteor twice. When I was thwarted elf temper was cer tainly very much exasperated. Believe I struck or attempted to strike persons when I wee angry. It was Smith the keeper. I broke the strong room window by throwing a spoon at it. The wrest muffi s are made of leather, with iron locks. The witness further stated that he had been fastened some weeks to the bed with the chain, until the voicing magistrates ordered its removal. Com plained to Dr. Bompas of Ow wristlocks. After the visiting magistrates had been he was removed to another bedroom, wh, re he was not chained. The church service was not performed in the house, but there was service within the wells on Tuesdays, which he occasionally attended whilst at the asylum. Tee witness had expressed himself obliged to Dr. Bompu for the books he had furnished him, and had tbaukol him for the civility shown h.m during the latter part of the time he was there.—Mrs. examined by Mr. those, objeeted to being examined on oath, because she had never Wien one. She had been married five years, dating which period her husband had been four or five times in asylums. He bad been seat to them each tints except the first by he:self,and then his brother sent him. He got very excited, and would nes bad language, and was frequently violent, but only to her self, and he would not beat or kick any one. Dr. Bompas wrote to her express( tg a wish that Mr. B. might be re moved from the asylum a few days before ha was removed. Mr. E. never injured any one intentionally, and at all other than than when he was exited w e truly kind and affee tiocate.

Remembered a gentleman of the name of coming to the asylum. He was placed in the farmers' department. Witness was attending In the noisy department, and he was brought in there ociesaionally when he was high or smiled. He wee brought into the strong room ; he was kept there a short time, sad taken beak again when he was quiet. He had been in the farmers' deparuruat, with occasional removals to the strong room, about three weeks' before he was brought into the noisy department. Had heard able breaking windows. He was a goad-tempered man sometimes; bat when he was excited he would swear and spit at people, and all them bad names. He would be excited if he had not in a moment the things which be wished. Barnwell was a keeper in the noisy department; he was sometimes good to Mr. 8., and sometimes rough ; when he MIS rough, B. was more excited. He h d rothing on his legs when brought to the noisy department; but Barnwell, when he had orders, placed a log-lock on his leg : it is a steel thing to put on men's lege. with • lock and screw to it, and a chain to fasten it to the bedstead. Knew an instru ment of restraint called the " shackles." Never maw it on B. He was net locked In the strong room for long—it might be, perhaps, for two hours. Upon being put in there he would make a noise at the door, and swear. He was let out in theard somatires, where there was a seat for him to tit down under a mulberry tree. In the room he was placed in there was a bedstead sad *hair, but no table was allowed there. There was a ilea stool occasionally and water if reining ; some times he would be violent, and strike the chair against the door, and then it was taken away from him.

Had seen rings In the asylum with coverings, but the ring put on Mr. B.'s leg had no covering. It would shine like a stirrup iron. He remained chained in that way about a week or fortnight.

The question of the alleged mismanagement of the Fishponds Lunatic Asylum, near Bristol, came before the G lou cestershire Olson of Onarer liapions on Tuesday last. Amore the magistrates present were the Duke of B'autort, Earl Dottie, Lard Moreton, Viscount Cembermere, Sir J. Guise, and Eat Fitshudinge. Peen , II Beansby Purnell, E.q., the chairman of the court, presided. It should be stated that, at the Midsummer Ruston. 1848, Dr. Bumps; pro. orietor of the Fishponds Lunatic Asylum (a private esta. blishment fur the treatment of insane person.), made ..is customary annual application to the court of quarter sessions for a license for his establishment. At that time certain allegations of mismanagement having been made by the visiting justices to the asylum and the oommissieners in lunacy, it was resolved to grant the Ifeense only for six months, on the understanding that at the present Epiphaoy Sessions Dr. Bompas should retire from the management of the asylum. However at the last (Michaelmas) sessions, Dr. Bonspu renewed his application to the court, when, after a very protracted discussion, it was resolved that the whole of the visitors to the lunatic asylums of the county shooli be appointed a committee to cenduet en official in quiry into the management of the asylum and the treatment et the unfortunates confined there, and to make their report at the present sessions. The inquiry was accordingly con demned near the spot, and the evidence then taken his been slue printed. On the mars coming before the court en Tuesday, it was ansosseed se a result ot the late inqniry that Dr. Bompas had rellestadead his intention of applying for a license, and that the present ts for the homes ha the same asylum were Mn. Bampas, mother of Dr. Bompas Mr. Charles Smith Bompas. brother of Dr. Boost. and Mr. Nagasaki Beath, ~rested with the same fa mily.l Mr. Smith and Mr. Smith Elsages were then brit fly examined as to their esaMilestions, and flair testimonials were produced. —The chairman then read the report of the committee of visitors appointed to make the official ir.quiey. The report stated that the committee met on the 19 k November last at Lswiord'agate Prison, and thence adj.:nutted to Dr. Borapas's establishment, where they inspected the whole capacities and acconamalations of the place. On Nov. 22, they commenced taking evidence, and continued the inquiry day by disy up to the 2nd December inclusive, and the evidence had been printed. (A copy was produ ced; it was &formidable "blue book." some two inches in thfrkses) The report then re forted to the 'steadied application by Mrs. Bows, Mr. C. Smith Bompas, aid Mr. N. Smith, for a limas, and spoke honourably of the applicants. Mr. Smith, on whom the chief reepolutbility of the establishment would rest, was consulting surgeon to the Bristol Infirmary, and had prase. Sassily visited the asylum during the superintendence of Dr. Hoops. The committee, therefore, had no hesitation in recommending that, as Dr. Bompas had withdrawn his intention of apply ing for a renewal of the license, the new Neese be grantid to the three aWioants, Mn. Bump's, Mr. C. 8 Bompas, and Mr. N. Smith, en condition that the latter do k ep a medical journal and case book, and rolularlir eater it up himself.—The Charism then read some extracts hem the minutes entered to thejournal oldie asylum, which showed a sta'a of things malting amendment. The apgi cation of the three parties to keep the asylum jointly was then taken into onsideration by the court, and after a discussion it war resolved to grant the license as prayed.-- The start then took into consideration the question of the apportionment of the expenses of the late inquiry, in the douse of which it transpired that the expenses of the inves tigation amounted to 1,2154 10s. id., the investigation having occupied eleven days. This included the met of printing the evidence.—The Cashman afterwards addressed the court at considerable length on the eirciunstacces attending the recent inquiry, and related some extraordinary instances ot misma nagement which had mate to his knowledge as havirg oc. curred in other lunatic asylums in this county, and which had come to light through the minutes of the viiit3re and lunacy commissioners. He also read to the court the statements of certain parties in relation thereto, which will form the subject of future inquiry at quarter sessions to be hereafter held.—Mr. Smith, one of the intended lessees of the Fishponds Asylum, having, in an swer to questions put to him by the court, stated that he could sot take up his residence at thpaitylam, nor sad he undertake to visit the establishment daily, a Measles took plow at to whether, ander these cireamsesses, the license &sight for ought to be grentsd.—The Dake of Beaufort thought th 4 unless Mr. Smith would visit the asylum daily, the establishment would not be under effickat maaagement. Subsequently, hie Grace said that although he should have preferred that Mr. Smith should actually reside on the spot, yet he would not press that point, the majority of the court appearing sati•fied.—After some further remarks from other magistrate 5, it was P.naPy resolved to grant the license to the three petitioners for thirteen months. The magistrates having strived at their decision upon this ease, we append a report of poetises of the evidence address' rliir the inquiry—reports received by us at the time the aleilons were merle, bet withheld from publication until the magistrates had concluded their investigation. It may be stated that at the first meeting of the Justices the inquiry was first directed at great length to the mode in which Dr. Bumps, had kept kis book in which it was alleged that he had sot entered the particulars be was required to insert of the cams and of the medicines given by him. He did not dos, that he h d not made soma of the entries at the time, and that he had not mole entries of Ma almost. of patients and medicines given • bat aid the cues in question were mei, ins nit Zasing reference to the insanity of the n i• s f end he considered that the entries be was required to make wire merely these referring to the treat- IRELAND. DUBLIN. JAN. 3. The judgment in demurrer in Mr. Duffy's case is again postponed. Friday is now fixed for pronoun- cing it. It is said to be the intention of the executive to pro pose a change in the office of assistant banisters of counties in Ireland. In future these judges are not to be practising barristers • they are to reside in their several counties continual ly, and to hold frequet t ses sions for the di-pasal of pnsoners. This arrangement is a valuable one, and much needed. The " OarryoWen boys " while inaugurating their new mayor on Monday last, were particularly ener getic in their denunciations of " Lord Clarendon," " The Whigs," and the A'torney-General, and obstre perous in their approbation of Mr. 8. O'Brien, of whom we, in Dublin, though somewhat nearer to him, hear, heaven help us, never a word. THE COMMISSION-MR. DIIFFY'E CASE. The commission coin opened again yesterday, punnant to adjournment at ten o'clock, a.m. The justices did not, however. Doke their appearance until MI he o'clock, when having ascended the bench and assumed their places, Mr. Justice Perrin announced that they were not prepared to give judgment that day. The case was en important ono— the authorities numerous, and though they had considered many ol them, there were others they had not an o, tummy of considering. Mr. Baron Ridsards.—We have considered this case a great deal, and we find we could not satisfactorily arrive at our decision to-day. After seine conversation with the officers of the court, their lordship, directed a further adjournment until one o'clock on Friday next. In all likelihood, therefore, we shall have no trial in this cue at this commotion. _ Mr. Bott then, the court being about to rise, applied to have an order for a copy of a printed book containing a re part of the prowerlings at the preceding state trials as taken in short-hand by Mr. Hodges. He had eked the crown for a INV), and had been refused. The book bed been rend in that court, it had been relied on as =authority, and no copy bad bees laid before the court. He mold not purchase the book, as it was hot on sale, and therefore he hoped the court would order him a copy. Mr. Jam as Penns : We can't interfere in the matter. We can't maks any order. Mr. Butt : My lord, I think you tan ; the book has been before the court. Mr. Justice Perrin : We can't. Baron Richards observed that it had been used as an authority. He had had a mere fragment of it as a reference as to pertain facts. Hr. Boa: Then, soy lord, I shall object to its us again to court. _ _ Tee crows. etnuml am& several observations, end the wart row. SCOTLAND. EDINDIIIION, JAN. 2.

LONDON WZDNZSDAT CONCERTS.—The re-oppear ince of Brehm, who was undentood to have wholly and finally retired nom professional life, gave a peculiar intense to the concert of last evening. It doubtless attracted many of his old admirers, eager once more to hear the sound cf voice they never expected to hear again, and many of the younger generation, glad of the opportunity of enabling themselves to say that they had actually heard the gnat singer, whew name may now be said to belong to a former awe As might be suppooed, his reception was enthusias'in. The reiterated peals of applause which welcomed him whcis lie presented himself were a just homage to the vocal "champion of Eneand," the man who has maintained the honour of the English school against every foreign rival, however illustrious, and for more than half a century hilt filled the world wilt his fame. In appearing at one of these popular concerts, he selected some of those things which w rit an vogue with the theatrical audiences of thirty or forty. yi arg ago ; Carter's " Stand to your guns," " The Bay of &way.' and his own duet," Gallop on gaily," which he sang w.th Sims Reeves." In the two sea songs he displayed a strength and volume of voice quit* wonderful at his time of life, and a degree of fire, energy, and variety, which none of le summon have ever been able to reach; but stall they are not the things in which he can nsW appear to the greatest advantage, or which his admirer. would be most desirous to hear hint sing. They demand the lemmas physwal powers which he has in a great awakens lost; while they afford no room for the much higher powers of genius and intellect of which he remains in ALI tgaiuon. Braba ought now to bo heard (if heard at oil t public ) in such pieces as the opening of " The Mertah," or the " Deeper and deeper still," in 0 Jeptha," in the failure of his voice and execution is disregarded, acrid the admiration produced by his masterly style, and the emotions excited by his grand and inipsosioned declamation. Such considerations, however, had no eff.nt in diminithiog the rapture with which all his performances were received ; though, nevertheless, he will do wit, should he appear again, to select some music of a higher order, and in which he can do greot , r *nice to the high qualities which he retains unimpairA In regard to the remainder of the concert, the best port'• is of it was a rather ample selection from Barnstt's admircb'a " Mountain Sylph." The famous ballad, "Farewell to the Mountain," was excellently rung by Mr. Whitworth; end the fine trio, " This megie-wove scarf," was delightful, sung by Miss A. Williams, Mr. Whitworth, and Mr. trum Reeves. Miss Bate Loder played a fantasia on she forte with her usual brilliancy and fioish ; and another pianoforte solo was played by Mr. W. H. Palmer, a respecta. and promising performer. Resvessang Beethoven's " Ade laide "—one of his best pet-terminates; and Illendadasohl.% pretty duet, "0 wort in the eanldcd blast," was rang 1 .1 'be Misses Williams with much sweetness and eimplicitre S e veral popular airs and ballade, sung by Reeves, L' few, the Meese Williams, Miss Poole, and Mrs. A. Norton, completed the programme of an agreeable concert. CLERICAL. PRIIIIIIMENTS.—Rev. C. Cook, Cbatham, to litotaprob P.C., Kent; din. Keck.; UM • pats., Nev. W. Conway and Mko C. .-noiy.—Reir I'.
