at at Lord °Wm bemuse he certainly fills Ti?y short of Lord CIZORGE BENTINCK u a ducal leader. If parties are to be led by dukes, we eso but little reason why the monopoly should be further restriclod. Tits plans of such generals as the Hungarian, un known in their own war-office, cannot easily transpire. We are Id therefore to conjecture them from facts fragmentsrily transmitted, or which reaching us through the distorted intermedium of Austrian bul letins are chiefly valuable for their admissions. In oar Saturday's notice of the combined attack now makii gnp n Hungary from so many quarters, we gave the imperialist, prematurely credit for having "weed bark OEOR4ET'S left witg from the Raab to the Danube. It proves, however, still to extend up to and beyond the Bal +ton Lake along the Bakoryer Wald in advance of the numerous e we/ popitions which cover Pesth. With the ex ception of this retrogression, less marked than we had assumed, and notwithstanding the attack of ;0,0011 Imes Tithing with 200 pieces of cannon, at Old and New Sully, GEORGES'S line remains unchonged and intact thut is to say, extending along the Wang and through the centre of the Schutt Island at Bee and 'Megyir. In the north, PASKIEWICH has penetrated beyond Katchau, without resistance, nolo as at Tokay, from which he is said to have driven 4,000 Magyar., with 40,000 Res inns. lint this is strongly doubted. In Transylvania, one Rankin column has been allowed to &deluxe on Bia'riz, another without material mesh= upon Croustadt. In the south, the impe rialist Bobadil, JELLACHICII, beaten at O'Beecs, is driven, arts r boasting of his advance on Thereeianople, to take refuge at Bove, behind the entrenchments of St. Thomas, on the Baczer canal. Two deductions may be ma4e from these fact., both as hitherto regards the result of the combined attack on the Hungarians, and the system of defence adore dby them. D i the first place, it is idle to sup inee that this coincident falling back, north, east, and west, of 200,000 men flushed with the indisputa ble mammas which enabled them to clear their terri tory, at the West of this campaign, without any attempt at serious resistance, can be anything but a loran gie combination. There is something startling in this silent retire ment of a formidable enemy which reeds NAPOLEON'S Remise rempsign, and must improve the imperialist seasick, as they advance through a wasted temtore, with a painful augury of the resistance to be expected when the concentrated hate of these coteentring boots at length finds vest in figh'. Though much may be urged is disparagement of the mategv which abmdened, without a blow, the external defences by which Hungary is naturally girded t and though it is difficult to understand why, mime from political matives,llemnineet should at . en earlier period have neglected to occupy the posit ion of Daigle, it most still be admlted that the following advanta2e. result from the system which appears to have 11 en adopted. In the first place, the truly warlike Magyar race, 'umbering tome five millions out of the thirteen which coastimte the Hungarian population, inhabit princi pally the banks of the Thrive of that portion tithe Ihisube and the intermediate territory situate within the more confined limits to which the Magyars have passively allowed their operationa to be circum scribed. Both JILLACUICIT and Wixom-n(3E4re, after a triumphant advisee, were auneessively de feated as they penetrated into the districts more densely peopled by the ManlirS. The productive lands within this circle are still laden with the super &handset harvest of two years, which, in conseqnence of political tenable., did not find in Austria their se cuetnined nutlet. Without this circle the more un grateful soil is utterly denuded by the Hungarian• as they retire, so that even eight days ago, whilst abusdases reigned, and we Isar even waste prevailed, wain the Hungarian lines, a pound of meat was worth no., a fowl 20e., and a pound of bread sold fir a fabulous price at the imperial head-quarters. &madly, from whichever aide the imperialists ad vance, they must weaken their effective strength by the f roe detached to cover strong places, whether artificial or natural, in their rear, and to keep open thole communications. And lastly, within this nar rowed circle, the Magyars will more fully enjoy the benefit of their concentric position, because one army will be not only on paper nearer, but panti e:ally better able to yield assistance at any point most seriously threatened by the external ring of its assailants. We are enabled, at least, to my that the ltungarians abroad are full. of coufidence in the isose, molding sufficient caution he exercised, and rothieg be adventured by their generals. It is to be remarked that of four points at which the Hunearians have been attacked, on one GURGEY &Bat k. d, aid then retired unbeaten, until pressed beyond the p tint at which it appeared to have been intended that he should recede. Here, at Sadly, the Hungarian army fiercely showed its teeth, and easily frustrated the effort of WORLODICTU and Pariarrie to sever its line. Six hundred wounded are admitted to have been brought into Vienna. Was Pres burg then no longer safe ; or were its hospitals oeergorlie d? The Ban JELLACITICR, who ridiculousiy sdvaneed with 90 pieces of cannon to 10,000 men, was so well defeated at trßeeees, so to be forced to admit that he most now writ the success of the northern armies. Hence, on two aides out of the four, the Fmperer and the Ban are brought to a stand still. In the north PASKIEWITCR has penetrated toe easily. What hasbecorne of Demme:n(l's thirty thowand men? It is highly improbable that the main body,as ported, shou'd have struck into the hills westward, watered by the Oran, though these have undoubtedly been oc cupied by some Magyar forces. Oa the other hand, what is become of BIM ? Ban having left in Teen cylrania a sufficient force to oppose the Russian inroad in th quarter, is sacertainid to have entered the itanat with an imposing force. What his become of thee fore: ? Has not DEMBINSKI'S main army taken back beyond Tokay, on the Theiss, to join the reserves at Debreezic ? and is it not there awaiting the jonction of lines forces? If some of these con nties should be realised, we would rather stand in the shoes*, DEMBINSKI than of PASKIENTITCIT; and at least, from looking impartially at all aides of the question, may conclude that much has yet to be determined by the event before the intern ;1 government of Austria will have the opportunity of enforcing thr ugh conquered Hun A ery tl,cse retinas which the Times had yester day the effrontery to assure an that all Hungarian ntimers suited to as ; that is to say, the suhstituticn of centralisation for local privilege and municipal franchises, the exchange of its elective magistracy foe a magistracy appointed by th e cam rills of Vienne, the illiberal prototype of that Prasilen re cabinet whcse semi-official organ began euh a n c t ti saVy an article to this effect the oth-r day:— " I wish that I were King, and above all King of Freels. I would give the people a constitution con taining these two articles i—lst. The King governs; 2ad. Toe people obey. I would puaish the anarchists ea this principle, that it is better that ten innocent 'bald suffer than one guilty should me tpe; and as for wiErx.

We yolterday gave amounts et the defeat of the German., And kv• since neeived the following from ear cone -pondeat : . - SCHLESWIG, JCIT 7: NesNs has just reached us of a severe fighting which took p are on the night and the morning of yesterday, star Fredericia, between our own and the Danish incr. The meet vigorous exerions of our troops sera to have been rtquired far keeping in possession lar field of battle. The Danes had transported on their ships during the night of the sth and e..h instant, suddenly from fehnen, the brigades Nlolske and Schleppluell, and Sam Jo :and the brigado of General Rye, and con *wed to enter the forth se. Consequently they made *out 3 o'clock in the morning a sortie with 23 batty ces (225100 men). The SoLleswig Holstein generals WA only It battalions to oppose th.ra (12.000 men). The whole Danish force attyked our left wing to wards the north of the fortress, Here they only Sand the let and 2nd infantry and the 3rd rifita to tiopve them. Mete ! I •ree battalions &easel the advance of the ferny f>r an hour. They suffarod, lismever, se wr.ly, aril were several limes surrounded and nearly Nail-ed. They succeeded, however, at last to effect Weir r. trat, fighting and disputing their ground wit': the utmost vigour. Tie too besieging battnries which had been newly trued were, of cows:, abandoned after the guns had b:en spiked. The camp meanwhile had been alarmed by tho roaring of tho cannon. General Bonin imme diately attacked the Danes with Bre battalions at band. The fighting thus was fixed, and on several points the Danes were obliged to retreat into the for . .r.ss. The forces of the Danes, however, proved to be too overwhelming in numbers, supported as they were by the batterits of the fortress besides; General Bonin, therefore, resolved merely to defend the positions in the villages in the neighbourhood of the fortress. Our reports are dated from Bredatrup, at about • mile's distance from the fortress. The Danes then left off from any further attack, and retired into the fortress. The loss on both sides is not yet stated. It seems to have been cotukerable on our aide; that of the Danes is, however, said t.) be still greater. Ono piece of field artillery was lost by us. Fifty four Danish prisoners have been transported to 'faders leben. BELGIUM.•—•BRIASEL4 ' JCLT 11.—Tho minister of the interior laid before the chambers a prject of law for a general life insurance company, to be established under guarantee of the state, and, under direction of government. Its object is to secure a provision in times of sickness, old age, or distress, for the working classes and mechanics, in order to obviate the neces sity of their being obliged to have recourse to public charity. Every person who hes attained the age of 18 years may make regular payments or instalmeets, whereby they can secure au annuity, commencing at the age of 63, 60, or 63, such annuity varying from 2 lir. to 1,200 fr., according to the amount of instal ment, &c. The payment* are to be made monthly: a wife, by c =pent of her husband, may secure a pension fur her old age. Payment must have been made two years before an annuity can be obtained, except the artisan is incapacitated from work by unforeseen sick ness. The adoption of this project of law, with some mxlifica , ione, will secure t..) Belgium the honour of taking the !cid among the nitions iu establishing an institution of this nature.

THE NEW ACT. The Reform and Registration Acts required, in order that a person should he enti•hd to he placed upon the list of voters for member of parliament for the household or 101. franchise, that all pones rstss and assessed taxes due irons him in respect of the quullivieg premises prior to April 6 should be paid on or before July 20, and that notice thereof should be given by the overseen; the latter act also required the oollecsors of asseessd taxes to deliver to the overseas of each parish' list of such defaulters of 'PRIMP!' taxes. A new act of parliament (11 is 12 Viet., c. 90), which comes into operation this year, declares that the poar's rates and asseued taxes required to be paid are such only as were dn. , prior to Jan. sth. Very great inattention to this act has been obserr.ble in many towns; the overseers, in their notices posted at the church doors, having tr.,med th.ta in &maniere* with the old and repealed act. We repeat th►t tax and rcepayers who have paid their rites and taxes up to the sth of Jimmy are eligible to be pined on the register. HORTICULTURAL GARDENS, CHISWICK. The third and last fete of the season took place at thew gardens yesterday, and was in every ravect the most successful we have waniamel during the preunt year. The weather wee most favourable to the enjoymmt of awl rbiiiitiort, and the ordinary attractions derived an additiesal charm from the fact that the Duke of Devor.shire bad kiniry thrown open hie magnificent gardens for the increased delight of the visitors. Having on former occasions described the peculiarities of the horticul tural Ales at these garden, and of theme in the Regent's p irk and elsewhere, little remains to be said ; but we can , not avoid the opportunity of stating that the display of yesterday was well calculated to I rove that Eriglimd ia not so entirely a nation of commerce and "shopkeepers" as !foreigners have represented us to be. The beauty of the ladies, the elegance of their costumes, end the general appearance of gaiety that pervaded the scene, all combined to produce an effect which for a mo ment rendered it glared incredible that " the busy haunts of Lor.den " were at so short a distance from the spot. The visitors thronged in mmsiderable numbers, and if the whole company had been eencentrated within the limits of the hor ticultural gardens, the crowd would have been each as to detract from the pleasures of the day ; but the promenade being so much enlarged, the people were most conveniently dispersed, and pretty faces beamed from the remotest corners of the spacious grounds. The show of flowers was the ficest we have wren, and the tents were of unusual dimensions. The exotic orchids, the pelargoniums, the fuchsias, the calceolarias, and all the sweet varieties of greenhouse plants appeared in the highest per fection; and the exhibition of fruit afforded a temptation which the Ital.. daughters of Eve found it difficult to resist. The prevailing fruits were strawberries, grapes, peaches, and pineapples, and there were one or two raspberry trees of such luxurious mamifleence that they would wall become a southern landscape. The grounds were most elegantly laid out, and there were three bands of music in astendsuice, whose performances were so attractive as to diai le the honours with the contri butors to the floricultural display. The music ceased shortly before seven o'clock, but long after that time the company continued to promenade the grounds. The following is the AWARD OF THE JUDGES.

Sir,—The deep interest with which thousands in this mammy are now regarding the Australian oo lonies will probably render the enclosed extracts from letters I Lave received from South Australia within the last week acceptable to large numbers of your readers. They are from persons of considerable in fluence in the colony, whose position gives great weight to their opinions, possessing as they do the best opportunities fur forming them correctly. In reference to the demand for lebour, it is gratify ing to be able to state that the most unequivocal proofs of the vastly improved condition of labourers and mechanics whom I have been instrumental in sending out are constantly coming before me, and the letters received by their friends are of such an en couraging kind that hundreds of their relatives would immediately follow did the means exist for the accom plishment of so desirable an end. It should be re marked, however, that the classes most likely to bene fit themselves and the colony by emigration are small capitalists and really useful labourers, such as rough mechanics, who are all the more valuable if also con versant with country occupations, agricultural la bourers, shepherds, and female domestic servants. I add au extract of a letter from a young man, named Blackler, whom, among others, I fitted out two yams since. Here is an instance of a youth only now twenty years of age who left this country penni less now talking of sending home 101. to his parent/. It appears to be settled beyond question that any amount of useful people will meet with immediate eurplo3 meet in the colony. There need, therefore, be no fear that emigration thither is overdone. I am, sir, your obedient servant, MS. B. WILCOCKS. Barbican, Plymouth, July 9, ISI9. . „ Adelaide, Jan. 22, 1849. I see from time to time the evidences of your great emir lions in the cause of emigraii n. Oa the extensive reduction, by this means, of the population of the mother country wilt hinge the commerci -1 salvation of Esigland, and the int ' pOTWOOS of the colonies as dependencies of the British power. None but these who have seen it can form the least idea of the unfavourable position in which we have sometimes been placed for want of labour. It is a singular anomaly is the state of things, that whilit the mass of the people, at your end, are suffering from want of the necessaries of life, we are suffering at Oho end from repletion. We actually require thousands more than we have to assist us in eating our mutton and cent. No sensible effect upon the labour market seems yet to have resulted, from the immense zombies of emigrants that we are con-1 steady receiving. After horveet, however, I think the price of labour , which is at present out of proportion with every thing elr, will be somewhat lessened. There is n A much fear of inconvenience to emigrants, even should the supply for ordinary demand become redundant, as the gosern meet require a great meny hands, which they cannot get at present, for the prosecution of colordal works, for which sums have been voted on the team ate* for some time past. Adelaide, Jan. 22, 1849. You will no Inger wonder that many of our female ser vants are a pest in the families of the colonists. Some time ego two of my servants quarrelled with their mistress, and left us because we could not agree to their habit (for the circumstance was not a solitary act, but of constant occur rence) of coming home from dancing at two or three o'clock in the morning. Once a week they had bargained to spend their evenings from home, and, such wan our circum stances, that this was tolerated ; but coming into the house at late hours was intolerable, end the mistress would rather do her own household work thus submit to it. lam happy to say there us so many exemptions to this character of emigrant, that I have now three good girls in my family, but they are the careen selections made out of at least twenty very indifferent characters whom I had in m) family t my cost : their pirloinings had beta a salmis item in my household expenditure. Good labourers and tradesmen with their wives and [wal lies are the people we want ; my time of late has been sari °wily encroached upon by young men wantintr situations as clerk.. I cannot deny the poor knows an Interview, and it is always under the conviction that I can do them no good, whilst it is painful to one's feelings to tell them their 'Mktg are not required in the colony. We cannot trust them with flocks of sheep, and they make wretched labourers upon • farm. 'n Extract of a letter from Edwin Muckier, dated Nairn', near Mount Barker, South Australis, Dec. 23, 1848: The first twelve months I was in the cAoay I was going from place to place all over the country, and I could not save anything at all ; not only that, I have tot worked at my trade since I have been in the country, fo: there are no mnble chino.> -pieces here—they are all timber ones. I wished I could have got a job at ft; but now I am !caving the hulloing and plastering business. I have bound =pelf for twelve months, for which I have a home, and a goad one too. 1 have 9s. a week, and my boned and lodging ;my washing costume 31. ed. per dozen. I am comfortable ; have the best of living, and good clothes to put on. I bare had a plenty ever since I have been is the country. If I went to Adelaide to work I could get a guinea a week, but I should have to pay 14s. a week for my board and lodging. A young man cannot save much in the town, and it is very hot now ; but I like the bush beet. Dear parents, I have heard it is very had times at home, still I hero managed to save sue money, and I will send you 101. oe more if you will accept it item your son Edwin. NEW BRUNSWICK. The secounta from St. John's, New Brunswick, notice the continuance of the ravages done by the fires in the woods in various districts of the province, and that many farms, fields cf grain, and valuable prorrty had been destroyed. The long continuance of dry weather had parched up the fields, and all hopes of the crop were nearly blighted. The woods and foyers are represented as being like so much tinder, ready to ignite at tha application of a spark. Taz GLovis MADE AT LEICESTEE.—The glove 1 kends at Leicester are again on strike, and have been per. ambulating the town in a body, preceded by the beating of I • dram. Their object, as alleged, ss more to equalise ones than to oht..in any general advarim--some houses giving eensirienbly lean than others. They also mite that the fine silk glove hands are in Leicester very much under-paid, to what the mate branches are in Derbyshire and N ittingbant shire, and that they intend to raise the pries here to that given is those canal, a—Derby Mercury. PLEASURE BOATS ON TEE CANALS.—The adapta tion last summer of one or two of the barges for p:easure boats to take parties for excursions on the Padding on (Grand Junc , lin) Canal, was found to be so palatable to the larger body of the respectable working classes who patronised the speculation, that this summer the number col such plea sure boats has been increased, and, aided by the material ed. ventaze of genial weather, the canal, which was formerly— biotite the great lines of railway monopolised so large a por tion of the internal traffic of the kingdom—the great mare* of Intercommunication, and the means afforded fur the trans minion of goads and merchandise from one part of the cotta try to another, has become quite a plumate stream, and the mine which presents itself at Paddington near the terminus of the Oreat West.ra Rallwoy, 'ny the a rr ival and departure cf parties on these pleasure trips down the canal, is of the , most lively and cheering character . Tne barges are entirely ' dewted to the purpose, and furaishet with seals covered ant ornamented, and being gaily decanted are not unsuitable vehicles for the enjoyment of the parties, which include bests of respectable women rind children, who, with their provisions and other adjuncts, avail themselves ..of this Level meant of making water eseunium sew ral miles from the metropolis. TIIE LATE ME. JUSTICE COLTMAN. Sir Thomas Coltman, whore death we announced yesterday, it is untiento tad was in hie GBth year, end belonged to a family o' filth re pectability in the north of England, but in no way distinguished from the elan to which they belonged. Thomas was sent to Cam bridge, and took away durinr his stay several piste. 'Geeing evinced a predilection fir the law, he was called to the bar about 44 years since, and went the northern cir colt. Although considered • slow he was looked on as a sound lawyer. Al a Mick letter lawyer, he was considered the ti.st in that department. la 1830 he was made king's counsel, and became one of the Brnehers of the Inner T-mple, and continued practising in the superior courts at Westminster, and going the northern circuit up to the 24th of February, 1831, on which day he was invested with the dign , ty of the coif, and upon that occasion he gave rings to the beach and the serjeants, bearing the foliowing motto, "Jut swam unique." Oa the same day he was appointed one of the judges of the C .urt of Common l'leas, in Us" room of Mr. Justice Gaselee. Shortly after, the newly-made judga re ceived the honour of knighthood. The lest occasion an which he tilliciated as judge was at the Central Criminal Court last Saturday, in trying Prince Granstelli and his coadjutors for fitting out English steam vessels to take part in the Sicilian insurrection. During the last day of that trial Sir Thomas Coltman appeared to be worn out with fatigue, and the confined state of the court. This appearance was only tanpon.ry, as on Monday the de ceased &waded at chambers, at Serjeant's-ino, where ho remained from ten o'clock until five in the a'teraoon. Oa the termination of the labours of the day, he returned home and took his dinner at seven o'clock, and at eleven o'clock retired to net, at which period he appeared in his usual health. At twelve o'clock he was attacked with the symp toms which terminated fatally. ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY. Yesterday the ordinary general meeting sf the governors of this society was held at the roosts, Trafalgar squ ire. B. HAWES, Ea i, in the chair. The mit.utes of the pr. ceediess of the list half-year were read and agreed to. The following per.ons were recommended by the committee fur the silver medal : _ _ _ Ii Lauithrin;irho saved Capt. E. Stanley, R.N. Mater liiinstirt Carter, aged 15, whs sated two other b° l. C. E. Tarrant, who jumped into the sea near Tel partim and saved a marine. Lieut. 8. Osborne, who saved a seaman. J.

RAILWAY COMPENSATION INQUIRY.—On Tuesday, an inquiry was opened at the Swan Hotel, Wolverhampton, before R. W. H .nd, , under-sheriff, and a special jury, to assess the sum to he paid to Messrs. T. and J. Moore, mine owners, of Tividale, in the parish of Rowley Regis, for the value of one sere of land, and its reverence from the estate of the claimants; the lard having been token by the B:r -mingham, Wolverhampton, and &our Valley Railway Com pany, under the provisions of the Lands' Clauses Coosolida tion Act.—Mr.M. D. Hill. Q.C., and Mr. Claydon, appeared for the claimants, and Mr. Mellor for the company. Mr. Hill called a number of witnesses in support of the claim, the amount of which was 4001. for the value of the lard and 2,4001. for severance. It was cower ded by Mr. Hill that, owing to the construc'ion of the railway through the estate o: the claimants, the basin which had hitherto been used by the claimants, Mows. Moore, would have to be removed to the other side of the canal, and that for various reasons con sequent en the course to which the claimants would be driven by the railway being constructed where it was they would have to expend 2751. per annum, which they would lot have had to expend if the railway had not been con structed at that point. Some of that expense would b' in ' eurred in the opening of fresh shafts. This would be an annuity, as it were, which the owners of the mines would have to pay yearly for twelve years, until they had ex. bausted their tw, lye acres of mineral in the neighbour- hood of the railway. According to a calculation which hail been made, the present value of chit annuity, or the sum which the claimants were entitle'l to receive for the severance, was 2,4001. In addition to this. Messrs. Moore claimed 4001. as the surface value of the acre of laud taken by the company. A numbrr of witnesses having been celled in support of the ease fur the claimants, Mr. Mellor addressed the jury on tehalf of the company, designating the claim as a moat monstrous and extraordinary one, and c:en tending that even if the railway had not been constructed at the !pot in question the coal underneath never could have been won from any other pit than pit No. 4 except at an expense greater than tne value of the coal itself. No da mage bed beta done to the estate of Messrs. Moore, except ii.et the tatting pont sei4n of this one acre of land, and there foie the qu :riot they had to decide less, what was Its value. The jury rewwwwl it verdict for 3001., giving nothing for se verallXl. Wolverhampton Chrors. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.— THIRTEEN PERSONS ST \lain TO DEATH.—By the Emma Sherratt, which arrived yesterday from Sydney, particulars have been received relative to the WI of the British ship Sarah Crisp, Captain Taylor, master, and the appalling suffer ices of the crew, thirteen of whom perished from starvation.

The analysis of the division on Mr. Coloden's mea tines for arbitration presents a result most favourable to that latillate. For while the division 0 176 to 79 is in the pro portian of more than two to one against the motion, yet, as far as that division represents the pecple, the great majority is on the other side. In the counties and boroughs com pletely represented in the voles recorded on that occasion, the population fey the mother is, 4,166,788 ; while the po pulation against the motion is but 2,931,540. Th re is afro another eireums once affecting thi• proportion which the puNlie are bound motto overlie rk, and that is, that in the ma jority who voted against Mr. Cobden, there are the ministe rial officials, and member, who belong to the profession of arms, who represented a population amounting to 539.513. These ehould be deducted from the gross amount as being the voice of interested parties, and then the actual majority in favour of the motion as represented by the votes of both members would be nearly two millions of the people. It must be gratifying to the inhabitants of the following counties and boroughs to know that their members gave a hearty and united Tote in favour of the motion : Ashbarton, Ashton-under-Lyne, Cardizan, Carmarthenehire, Chelten ham, Cock€rmouth, Dartmouth. Derby, Kendal, Lambeth, Lsnc-shire South, Leicester, Uskeard, Macclesfield, Man chester, Middlesex, .Mor-mouth, Preston, Salford, South Shields, Surrey East. Warrington, Westminster, Wmver hsaipton, Dumries, Dived's, Kilmarnock, Montrose, Ork ney and Shetland, Stirling, Dawnpatrick, Dundalk, and Limerlek. The votes for the above thirty-three pieces re present a population amounting to 4,356,788; while the votes for eisty-aeven places against the motion amount but to 2,931,510. So far, then, as the voice of the people goes, arbitration ought to be at this moment the law of the land. ASTLCNI FOR AGED AND DECAYED FREEMASONS.— Lut evenitg the annual genera meeting of the friends and supporters of the above institution was held at Radio 's Hotel, Bridge•etreet, Blackfriars, Brother Wright in the chair. The Secretary red the negotiations relative to the proposed amalgamation with the Ravel Masonic Benevolent Annuity Fund under one common title, which matter would ere long be probably brought before the craft generally.

PARLIAMENTARY AND FINANCIAL REFORM. MEETING AT GREENWICH. Last evening a public meeting was held at the Lecture-hall, Greenwich, for the purpose of forming a Par liamentary and Fi .ancial Reform Association for that dis trict. The chair was occupied by Mr. G. W. MASTERS. The CHAIRMAN, in opening . the proceedings, announced that this was a preliminary meet ing, but that it was intends d to convene a large public one on the eeeniug of this day week, t, explain in detail the objt cis of the association. He was rejoiced to find that there were 100 members in the House of Commons who supported parliament vy and finan cial reform, and he hoped that their number would be speedily increased. Mr. WIN LYRE said that he attended on behalf of the council of the Metropolitan Association, and that the move ment set on font in London had been attended with the most unbounded success. Mr. MACKAY called attention to the lesson which the proceedings in parliament that day were calculated to im part. Those proceedings would teach tho reformers of Greenwich that from the present House of Commons they could not expect one particle of concession, and that if they wished to retrench the expenditure, and to Increase the !eclat end moral well-being of the people, they must tho roughly reform the house, end thereby make the people omni potent in their own branch of the legislature. Upon the motion of Mr. ILAILOLD, seconded by Mr. °RAMAN( ' the Greenwich Parliamentary and Financial Re. form Association wee form- d The proceedings terminated with the usual vote a thanks to the chairman. We understand that the meeting of reformers to be held at Greenwich this night week will be very numerously and respectably attended, and that severa members of the me. tropoliten courcil will again attend on that occasion. UNION BANK OF LONDON. Yesterday the annual general meeting of thiebank faa eompsny was held at the officer, 2, PAnceastreet, Alderman 8m P. LlctillE in the chair. The SECRETARY rca 1 the report of the directors, in which they state that during "the twelve months which have elapsed since the last general meeting, the pressure upon the commercial interests of the country, which was the subject of remark in t , .e last report, has been in many in stances aggravated by the poll' ical c Ayala:ens which have distracted nearly the whole of Europe. A low value of money has been the natural consequence of the in flux of foreign capital and the contraction of mercan tile enterprise; but notwithstanding these ',lions dined. vantages, the net profits of the year amount to 28,6171. 18s. 10d., out of which the directors now propesn to appropriate the sum of 23 3711. ; being a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, ele ar of in come tax ; and 500!. as tested, in reduction of the prelimi nary expenees, leaving an unappropriated balsoce of 2,743/. 18n. 104. to be tarried to profit and lees new account. The proprietors will observe that the interest paid to cus tomers on their current and deposit accounts, during the last year, amounts to neatly 31,000! While the director, are aware that the cautious and prudent *yet, en of management which they have endeavoured to maintain may not have re sulted in the more rapid accumulation of profits which might perhaps have been obtained by incurring greater risks, yet the accession of numerpos and valuable connexions proves to them the soundness of their views, and enables them to ensure the proprietors of the steady and gratifying progress of the company." A statement of the meets sad liabilities of the bank was next subm•tted to the meeting, from N hick it appeared that the total assets amounted to 3.337,1351. 2s. 6d., and that there was a surplus profit of 28,6171 18s. 104. after deduct ing all ex :masses and interest amoanthm to 33,7451. 15s. 101. allowed to customers on their enrrent and deposit accounts. This surplus was appropriated iu the following manner : Dividesida as pald•op cspital, riz. : Half-year, to 31st December, 1614, already paid, at 3 per Ina.

They were the first joint-stock bank which had been favoured with the confi dence of government, having him for some time entrusted with the account of the Metropolitan Sewers Commis aloe. (Hear, hoar.) He trusted that as the govern ment recognised the advantage of being connected with the undertaking, they should soon have mere of their accounts. They had also the account of the corporation of London, and he had no doubt that when the amount of cunfidenue ropowd in them became more exten sively known, the sphere of th. it opowitins would he em alderably enlarged. Having declare I a dividend of six per cent , he moved the aduptiou of the report. Mr. JOHNSON seconded the resolution, wLich was car ried unanimously. The outgoing directors Messrs. Webster, Barnes, and Sutherland. were re-elected. _ _ The meting was then made special, and a resolution which had been discusfed at the fait annual mee ing, and by which the qualification of directors wu increased from 20 to 100 shari P. WAS adopted after a brief conversation. Mr. BROWN give re tire that at the next meeting he would bring forward a rem. lu , ion, making it iumunbeht ou the directors to Rive notice to the proprietors of any vacan cies in the direction, and attic. their concurrence in the selection of person. .o fill them. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman, directors, and Milan of the company. - - - RIOT AT KILLLYOWORTII COLLIERY. NEIVCASTLE•ON-TYNE, Tr ESDAY. It will be remembered that, some time ego, there was a general strike among the pitmen employed in the col lieries of the Tyne and the Weer. That strike, lasted several months, and the men ultimately returned to their employ. ment without having gained the objeets they sought to obtain. They Iv: re literally " starved" rote submisaion. Re cently, however, they have adopted the plan of str king in detachment,, and ernile the men at one or two co lli er i es re mained idle, titer were supported by these who continned in employment. Under this plan there have been strikes at Hartley and Hull-me:l, end the men are now on riette at Killingworth and West Moor collieries, belongin r to Lae! Revenuer rtb and partners. The trike at the latter collieries has continued for some weeks, and there being no prespect of an amicable arrangement, the men h-vc lately resorted to very unlawful means to enforce their demands. No actin' breech of the peace, however, t ok place till last night, when a number of men disguised, some being dressed i women's clothe', and others in ma-ks, with their coats turned inside out, assembled at West Hoar Colliery, and proceeded to destroy the works. They drove the men that were there away, threw the corvea and msteriala on the sur face down the shaft, gutted the houses of some of the men who had not joined in the strike, aeseiled the police, and broke the windows of the colliery-office. Intelligence of these riotous proceedings having bee" conveyed to New castle, a large body of police, under Mr. Stephens, proceeded to the colliery, armed with enflame*. On their approach, the rioters fled, but were pursued, end six of the leaden cap. tared, who were brought in custody to Newcastle, and, after undergoing a preliminary eximiaation before the magistrates to-day, were remanded till Saturday. The names of the prisoners are—William Arnett, blather, Teesdale, Wiliam Puncheon, David White, John Bsx'er, and Henry Walker. The adjudicating magistrates were Captain Potts and Mr. Sidney; and the ctarac:er of the dreams may be gathered from the suhjoined evidence: William Hunter, an agent employed at the eelliery, stated that on the 18th of Jun., Baxter, Toasdale, and Arnett met at half-past twelve o'clock at night in disguises ; there were about thirty people assembled, who threw stones, and endeavoured to salmi - lase the men rrom following their employment. Ile del uo: k e application to the magis trates to apprehend the pieties present on that occasion. On the 23rd, a Saturday morning, about 200 men met, Armed with bludgeons, picks, and ether weapons, and Arnett, Teesdale, and Boater were at the head of that mob. They marched through the village, and threatened those that should go to work, in order to prevent their doing so. Arnett sheuted, "arms up," and the men elevated their weapons. I I and fl midland them overhead. On the 2-sth, the same men met at eight o'clock in the morning, and followed one of the " bleat-legs" and threatened to kill him. They had met several times since. They met on the G.b inst., at twelve o'clock at night, and created a great noise and disturbance. T . ey met again this morning, seme disguised in women's apparel and others siith their cows turned inside nut, and proceeded to destroy the works at the pit. The disguises were such that he could not identify the prisoners on this oceasion, but he knew that they took a leading part in ell these proceedings. Thomas Jenkins, a police c ffieer, elated that about half put twelve o'clock this morning he and five other police men were ceasing out of the coll. ry cffiee, when he saw a large assembly of men dressed in women's elo'kes, who threw a volley of stones. He and his msn retreated fete a cotture, which was assailed by the mo's, when he escaped by a bank window and made the hest of his way thr nigh the fields to Newcastle, in order to obtain assistance. He iden tified aeveral of the mon. . . On this evidence the prisoners were remanded on a eharge of riot. Mr. Stephens stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Johnson, the viewer at the cilliery, stating that he was apprehensive of another outbreak to.ni,tht ; that great darner* bad been done to proper ; red requesting the aid of the military.

In the course of the proesediras it woe ',solved that an address, signed by the chairman, Captain B.ker, should be presented to the rev. gentleman, and the following is his answer to that address: To the inhabitants of Rochester, Chafh Strom', and their vicinities, in public meeting aisemb'ed, in tte f Rochester, on Wednesday, the 4th day of July, 1819. Gentiemen,—Permit me, with feelings of the liveliest gra titude, to return you my hearth st and warmest thanks for the tribute of respect, regard, and sympathy which you have in your most welcome address paid to me. It is, believe me, an honour which, as the fr.!, will billing and the un sought testimony of those with whom I have for ea many years lived, does, indeed. at once efface the mark of the indignity which has been put upon me. It is, I assure you, a reward which in full sad altogether re pays me for any sacrifice of " personal ease and comfort" in conscien tious:ye advocating claims which no one asserts to be un founded, and in upholding without fear, and as I trust wit.uut reproach, a cause which no one denies to be most righteous and just. For the further assurance of y readiness and desire to aid and assist me, I can only use the same language to give utterance to the same sentiments, r.gretting that ro words of mine can fitly express what I now feel, and that no deeds can hereafter discharge the debt of obligation under which you hays laid me. On the other wavers alluded to in your address, and on the letter "industriously circulated" before your meeting, I deem it my duty, for the preseat at least, to be silent; but as regards my attempted dismissal by the Dean. and Chapter of Rochester, I may quote their owu language,. and say that "whereas the laws of this realm provide a. remedy for every grievance and wrong,"to them I shall con-i fidently and immediately appeal, for the vie dicid ien of my, character, end the uninterrupted exercise of my du ies and rights That 1 shall do so with entire success, I memo: doubt in ennformity with the Inclement of the highest le gal mishit . Titles, wit) after a careful and critical txsmieation of tt cathedral statutes, have declared their opinion that this act of the dean and chapter " bus not either by the general law of the land, or by the founder's etatutn•, any leg .1 force or v all day." Sincerely horieg that the truest happiness, and the most choice of God's Wettings may fall to a i.O and y earns, attending you under all eircumstancss, and being whs, you in ell your undertakings, I remain, gentlemen, with the most unfeigned ge *thuds end re•peet, your much obliged and faithful servant—'llotimer Woman:ft, Master of the King's Schee', Rather ter, and Yellow of Trinity Coll. ge, Cambridge.—Rochester, July 9, 1849.
