Mr. ARDEILLSON, M P., in reply to the (leery of Gs. prices, stated that Me ecmpany paid the Pacha 30,0001. • year for the transit of passengen and goods, and it was only put to bin Hipbone to state that, considering the onetant swan to which be was =hist in keeping up the system of fi n er established sad the large original outlay in terred by him, the sum allowed by the company by no mane he him, but he bad taken en enl phteami view el the mesas by which he might advance the interests ef the soatry over which he was the wale ruler. The swot was then aaanissously tador The CHAIRMAN said that a proposition had toes made by the board of direction which had been adverted to at the lest nesting , to present Sir J. Pine with a testimonial for his sni to see company is Egypt Sir J. Pink, however , from ts a tense of delicacy, wished that such • proceeding should not emanate from his colleagues on the direction, who therefore took that opportunity ot placing the matter in the heads of the preprieton, and calling on them to deal with it es they thought fit. Mr. MORRISON pronovneed a high eulogium on the in. defatigable seal which Sir J. Pirie bad displayed in behalf of the company, and took occasion to contrast the clumsy tra• wiling arrangements in the East under the old *in= with the comforts of the present system, which had been intro dared principally by the exertions of Sty J. Pirie, to whom the company and the public owed a debt of gratitude which it would be difficult for them to repay. He concluded by proposing that a sum of 2601. be allotted to the directors to eppropriate to the procuring such a testimonial to Aileron= Pirie as might be most gratifying,t being at the same time an dentood that the sum named was not by any means • measure of his orrice', but merely a recognn or them. Msior MOORE seconded the resolution, and referred in complimentary terms to the services rendered to the com pany by Sir J. Fide. Several shareholders, however, twi t objec o the surilosee and inadequacy of the sum peeoesed, an amendment was proposed to the effect that 6001. be allocated to the yea pow 'lbis propositios haying met with universe' saes% kr. WMls a altered his resolution accordingly, and it wee asasimously resolved amid loud cheering that a sit Of 6001. be devoted to the punkas of • testimonial to Pkie. The oetgoing directors, Mews. de Zulusta and Has were re-elected, and severally returned thank'. The auditors of the company were also reelected. A dividend of 4 per cent. for the half-year, al di . ten, was declared, and the proceediep were to • close with a tote of thaaks to the chairman and e rection for the seal and ability with which they a d hir ed the affairs of the company, which was carrie amis. l'iNo OF OAS CONSUMER; Last evesinr, a numerously attended mt eting took Sacs at the London Tavern, Bienopegete street, to eonsider the new promise of the City Gas Company to reduce the price of their to four sbillinp per thousand cute' feet (on ps the one side), and the original proposal of the Great Central On Consumers' Company, to be bound by act of parliament to supply gm of greater purity and higner illuminating power, at • maximum price of U., with an obligation to re. dace to 30. 61., and whim tely to reduce to 3s. eo soon as an Increased consumption will enable them to do so—with ample guarantees for quality by menu of chemical referees, and for quantity by eas meter iospeetors, to be app the ointed by the corpmtiow of London, by the magistrate', or by Board of Trade. JOHN DILLON, Esq , took the chair ; and expla i n ed the objects of the meets,. Mr. Deputy STEVENS proposed That this meeting desires to express its unabated eocfi deuce in the Great Central Gas Consumen' Company, and in lull belief that there tents no security for a permtnent reduction in the prier of gas or an improvementin itaquality unless each company is fully supported by the gas consumers of the City. Mr. W. of Chape l, wooded the resolution. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, M.P., ad tressed the meet ing in favour of the resolution, sad entered into a variety of calculations to prove that the public might be supplied with gas of a mood quality, and in sufficient quantity, at the price proposed by the new company. and at a large remunerative profit. The how. gentleman went on to prove that the com pany had formed their estimate upon a just and correct principle, and that the terms (soy Is. 40. per tho tractor,usand) which they had agreed to give Mt. Crone the con were , ucb es to meet the approbation of all who had pro perly considered the subject. The revelation was carried unanimously. S r ANTHONY ROTHSCHILD proposed the second resolution : That the petition new read be adopted by this meeting, &geed by the chairman, and presented to the honourable Commissioceis of Sewers for the City of London te-morrow (this day). M r . WIRE having read the petition (which embodied the trit.ciples already pointed out), Mr. TICKLING seconded the resolution, and it was caned unanimously. Mr. CEOLL addressed a few words to the meeting in justification of the conduct he pursued during his connexion I with the Chartered Gas Company, some personal allusion having been made to him by the gentleman who spoke front the gallery. d to the chairman , who A vote of harks wee then passe declared his conviction that the arguments put forward by the new gas compeny were altogether unanswerable, and she meeting separated. WATERLOO BRIDGE COMPANY• The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this now y took place yesterday, at the Freemason's Tavern, Great Queen street, Mr. W. ANDIRION in the chair.

An ellcial communication having been read, announcing to the court the death of her bite Majesty the Queen Dowager, Mr. JOHN WOOD tom to move an address of sympathy and eondoience. He observed that the universel charity aad excellent disposition of her late Majesty had endeared her to all the inhabitants of this country. Throughout her earner, as the comma of William IY., and subsequently as kis widow, there via mat a single circumstance of her life to diminish the streegilsellags of attachment which English men &welshed for her memory. Ms. Under Shwa WIRE seconded the etiolation, which wee MOM aseahnenely. enmertaut manure. The folliwina official contilinoitlatioak win then read: " Smithfield Commis ien-Hoer Mee, Dec. 5, 1849. " Sir—l am directed by the members of the communion appointed by her Majesty for inquiring into Smithfield market, to inform yen that they are desirous of conferring with the City authoriiies apes the subjects embrweed by their esemossion. And las to inform yea that the com missioner, have appointed a meeting for this purpose, at this office, on Tuesday nett, at twelve o'clock, and to request that the authorities of the City sill have the goodness to ap t plat a deputation to =methane at that time. " I am, sir, your most obedient servant, Women. BaDORArn, Secretary. " Mr. Serieant Merewether, Tows Clerk, die." Mr. H. L. TAYLOR thought that this communication was evadingly respectful ,to the corporation, sad that it evinced a diepositio• to treat the question fairly. (Hear, hear.) A n motion had been adopted by the Smithfield market eommittee on the previous day, the readiag of which he would suggest fur the intormation and aseistanes of the court. The emulation referred to was then read. " Markets Improvement Committee, Wednesday, Dee. 6. " Resolved That a draft report to the Coat if Common Council be prepaid, asking authority to coulee with the masminion recently appointed by the crown for inquiring into Suait.hrteld Mashes and ...takes is the City for Ms sal of meat, for the plumes of neeertatning the course of in e quiry intended to he punued by the commission ; and that power be likewise requested to enable the oonunittee to re present the corporation before the oommiselaters, if it shall appear to the committee expedient to do so ; and to report from time to time thereon to the Court of Common Council. That th City's architects be instructed forthwith to prepare plans (o r r the enlargement of the site of Smithfield market, and for the improvement of its approaches, together with an estimate of its cost, to enable the committee to cossider a row rate of tolls, it being the opinion of this committee, what ever may be the plan adopted, that the repayment of the outlay should be secured by act of puliament, by me me of additional tolls." Mr. TAYLOR then proposed that authority should be given th the Smithfield Market Committee to select a depu tation to confer with the commission. The motion bevies been seconded, Mr. NORRIS moved as an amendment, that the court should proceed to appoint a deputation. The Smithfield Mark t Committee was composed, fur the most part, of per sons who had declared themselves either in favour of retain ing or ia favour of removing the market, awl it was es. —volt desirable that the deputation should be unpreju- Mr. BENNOCH seconded the antendinent. Mr. BLAKE observed that the commission had no real power to interfere ; and it was questionable whether the diet corporation in the kingdom should in any way recognise • tribunal which had been declared by most able writers to be irresponsible and illegal. If a deputation should be ap pointed, he hoped it would be selected hom the whole body of the court, and that their instructions would be simply to restive coreautunieatioss and to give information, and on no amount to commit themselves. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS thought the course to be pursued by the court was a very simple one. The constitu tion of the commission was similar to that of many previous commissions. There could be no deubt that a deputation ought to bs appoi..ted. The oily question was how it, should be invtituted ; and he thought it would be best to leave the matter to those who were beet untainted with it, namely. the Markets Improvement Committee. Mr. H. L. JONES %tepid the Inquiry would embrace the state of the dead meat msekets. There was a straug public opinion that if those markets were enlarged, the enlargement of Smithfield Market would be a matter of less lam ortasee. The question was then pat, which resulted in the rejec doe of the amendment, and the adoption of the original resolution. ~ • • THE vXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 7, 1849. within the provisos od the esepseatioo, and it would be °caning an exceedingly ssisehievoas door to enlertsin it It all. At the same time, he would be Ike first to support any object of this kind in the sh►pe of a donation. Mr. F. BENNOCK did nut see why. as they expended so moon money in building workhown s and gsols, the, should not spend sums to rem.ve seknowleege.' evils, and to pro mote habits ui cleanlint an and sooriety amoogst the par. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE had just risen to epeak, when Mr. LOW said be thought it would save time if the court were counted (Cries of No, so," and " Shame.") The court having been COlLOttil, it was declared that there were 40 members present. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE opposed the isogon. The corporation was not, he said, in the same position so paro chial authorities. It could not employ the powers of the act. Besides, it was not their office to build baths and waebhouses for the poor, any more than to set up as shoe makers and tailors for tke poor. They were neither gee I propriete.rs nor water proprietors; and, if they acceded to this proposition, they might be expected to become fiefs and fruit vendors. (Laughter.) Mr. Alderman BALOMONS having replied, The question was decided by stow of hands. About 25 Imeds were held up in taverur of the motion ; and eight ; against it. The notion was scoordiogly carried. The Court adjourned at a quarter pot four. LAMBETH RAGGED SCHOOLS. amrsOTAKUNTS AT MOLNORN . NILL. Mr. HALL rose to *all the attention of the court to this subject. He obeened that a vast number of reports had been presented in relation wit within the last tailless. with out any satisfactory result. He concluded by proposing the following resolution; " That this wart feel deeply 'sensible of the necessity of a great andseEnrebentive me-auto being adopted at the eerie- Mt period ble ter the effectual improvement of Holborn bill and • nee-itzeet. That it appears to this court the improvement contemplated in Victoria-street cannot be satisfactorily carried out until the 'riot of the improvenvot of Holborn-hill is set.led and defined. That inasmuch as all branches of the community puling and re-pagang .1.162 three thoroughfares will be meentially benched improvement, this court are of opinion that the Ma fee carrying the same into ex -cutioa ought to be perffied with the &asinine. of parliament; and that the aiselninee be directed to proceed to 01101 ill a conference with die 'orna ment, and report thereon to this court." The neolation having been seconded, Kr. It. L JONES said there could be no advantage la destroying a hill east ant west, and to make another north and south. M r . WHITESIDE 'stymied the motion. i M r . ANDERTON was of opinion that the improvement committee should enter into communication with the govern ment on this subject. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE observed that the principal traffic east and west was net by way of Holborn-hill, bat through Fleetstreet sal the Strand. (Cries of " No, no.") He did not consider a viaduct necessary. Much beasfiC would arise from raising the ground at the bottom of the ' to hill the extent of fire or six feet. As to applying that to ' the gov ernmen t, ro mone y . would be granted in quarter except in connexion with some government Winne of improvement. The best coarse would, in bh spisies be to make one great line of communication from Newipele street t Leicester-equare, so as to relieve the streets we each she. Mr BLAKE was surprised to hear a suggestion for the anuibilotion of that gnat artery, the line of communication from Holborn to On ford-street and Bayswater, by means of mother Gresham street, Weans and turning till it Wound it self in the warts of law. (Laughter.) Ye ith regard to the vicinity of Holborn-hill, it should be recollected that there was the nucleus and source of nearly all the disorders of the City. In a sanitary point of view, therefore, it was most its portant to raise the level. It would be childish, however, to ask for government aid until they were prepared with some definite plan. Mr. HALL having replied, the motion was lost. ADOPTION OF BATHS AND WA6HROCSML Mn. Al 'groan SALOMONS then rose to move, " h That it be referred to a committee to consi ier the propriety of te corporation erecting . baths and wastkoures within this city for the use and convenience of the labouring classes resi dent therein, and to report thereon to this Court." He said he trusted that then would he a unanimous vote in favour of the resolution which he had the honour of pro posing. He wished the corporation to establish on their own responsibility either one or two of these establishments for the benefit of the labouring eludes of the City of London ; and he would briefly state the grounds on which he based his propose tion. A bill was brought into partisan - at. under the supelin ten&nce of the Rev, Sir Henry Dukinfielil, the late rector of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, which enabled parishes, on erg min conditions, to construct baths and wash-houses. Under the powers of that act a splendid building, one of the handsomest in the metropolis, was constructed at the back of the National Gallery This establishment cost about 16,00 W. It was of a compound character, consigiog not only of baths and wash-houses, but also of laundries, washing places, drying places and ironing places. The baths, however, had been in operation the longest. It was from them that the profit was chiefly derived; if the laundries paid expenses, the utmost nut could be expected was realised. It would be a great mistake to suppose that the lowest classes alone availed themselves of the benefits thus offered. The establishment in St. Martin'e-in-the- Fields was visited, amongst others, by many clerks and shopmes. There, as on railways, ere first atd woad class places. Those who paid sispence had the use of a lookingglass and a comb; while those who paid twopence brought their own ceommodation. (Laughter.) The establishment ton opened on the 24th of January in the present year ; and from returns made up to the 2nd of D e cember, it that ap peared that the number of persons or of visi677ts, upd that ari to d a te, a period of a bout ten months, was 182,, 2.7131. had been received in payment. (Hear. hear.) M eaning. on the authority of those who were best acquainted with the matter, that the expenses amounted to oily two thirds, sod tl. it 3,0101. would have bven received by the end of the present year, then would be 2,0001. to meet current expenses of the establishment, and 1,0001. to pay the interest of the cepa* , invested. (Hoar, bear.) WAS it too such, then, to ask the court, in its corpora@ cap way, to raise a-i establishment of this kind, inipecially when the object could not be effected by other sears The inetrop "litan parishes beyond the City could effect this ob ject by appoint's: commissioners, asd oroceediog in a cer tain form ; but the City of London being cut up into a Num ber of small parishes, the corporation could alone deal with the question, sad unless they interfered, the worki ng people of the metropolis would , he believed, in three or ur years, be almost the only town population to which was denied the benefit of baths and wishbone's. An satabliehment exist ed es in Marylene ; tee rate pacers of St. John's and fit. Jam's, Whoestminster, and of St. James% Piccadilly, had recently determined to erect one, oul I ard soon in Liverpool then were already two, and w be a third. Would they consent that London should be in a averse position ? Mr. J. T. NORRIS seconded the motion. Kr. R. TAYLOR espy-arced the motion, declaring that be lid so most heartily, and express , d his regret that the toes tits al providing self supporting habitations for the poor cad not bees included. Those two questions were, in his opi ates. almost Lawns:ably connected. Ur. LOWE thought that the court did sot know what it was alms if it eatertained this question. It did not some The anniversary meeting of them schools was held yesterday mein', at the Horns Tavero, Kennington. Lord ASHLEY having taken the chair, said, is the mune of his address, that the meeting was aware that he made, in the lest session of parliament, an additional e ffuet to pro duce upon the public mind and government some eff.ct whereby they might be assisted in the great eau.s they nod undertaken ; but there was no calculating on the consistency of the opinions and feelings of public an. The year be. fore he was received with open awn, and much caressed, and this year his reception was presissly the reverse. He was allowed a hearing, which wee all he did obtain, and he wu dismissed with as much courtesy as he had remind en the former occasion. But this only pressed upon them an additional obligation; this only showed that, if those in authority and power repudiated this great duty, it was for those ..An had some 'egad for their high duties, and some consideration fo the interests of those who were to come after them, to do that which ought to be effected by thou who had the advantages of power sad authotity. He had never obtained an aunt rto one gees win ; he had premed on the government the consequence el leaving so many thousands of young children in a state la 1 , which he had shown they became inevitably either the In mates of gaols, or red* tett to the convict population ; but tea one question had nev r been ensnared ; if they rejected all these prepositions, it they admitted the state of things to be such as it was, what wee the course they ware prepared to take ? Were they prepared to say, that knowing this to be the state of the population knowing the ism to Wench as he had apprehended, tat would leave the evil without remedy, and calmly stand up and untemplato the frightful i-sue which was the natant and inevitable consequelioe. To that the answer hie got might be summed up in • single seatence, "Am I my brother's keeper ?" (Hear, hear.) A ccor d in g to every man's opportunity he was his brother's keeps*—(hear, hear), but he very much feared that the awful events in this district of Lambeth would add not a kw to the miserable claimants for their interposition. That being the ease it be hoved them to make additional MLA. to suet the evil that was growing upon them. •report stating the proceedings of the committee was read and adopted ; sod resolutions founded thereon, to the effect of the statement of the noble chairman, were moved and seconded by the Ker.

HUITABLE'S 011.11 LT EXPERIIIBNTAL FAttgl.—The right boll. baronet arrived at the parsonage im the evening of Thursday, the 29th, and remained till Saturday : It is too well ktowu in Donetshire to require any par scalar description. The at tention of Sir Robert Peel was especially directed to the large number of cattle born, bred, milked, and fattened entirely in stalls. This expcnent of keeping e stock wholly in the house has turned out farm more successful then practi. sal men ever expected • they all seemed very healthy end doing well. Besides t h e cattle, a great number of fatting pigs in two diff rent kind o f s talls were exhibited, and sheep likewise, which, ales Sir Richard Simeon's madel, are now tie.' uo in the same way as cattle. But the ar rangeme nts made for securing the manure both liquid and solid seemed especially . to interest him. S.r Robert Peel trot some time in examining the machinery. The steast-engine does the following duty : threshes. win now), and sacks the cain. cuts off the straw into chaff, kiln dries the corn, grinds it into meal, bruises the beans for toe horses, and works a largo bone mill.

MILITARY BANQUET TO EARL DE GREY.—On Tuesday evening a splendid banquent was given to Earl de Grey, in honour of the oesesion of the presentation to him of hie portrait by the officers of the Yorkskir.' Hussar Regi ment, of which the noble lord is the commander. The enter tainment took place at tre De Grey Rooms, Turk, and was attended by about 30 noblemen and gentlemen.

Mr R. H. JARVIS proposed, and Mr. PALMER seconded, the following resolution: "That this meeting deeply sympathises with her Most Gracious Majesty, his Royal Highness Prime Albert, and the Royal Family, on the occasion of the demise of her Ma jesty Adelaide, the Queen Dowager, *host las is the more felt by this parish from that munificent support of the local charities therein whir' especially calls for the expression of our gratitude, while her gra. Wu condescension and kind ' nen entitle her memory to be revered by all etasses of the community." The resolution wee agreed to unanimously. Mr. MACKENZIE then ezprested the gratification he felt in 'ringing forward the question for which the meatiest had been cosseted. Mr R. B. JARVIS proposed the follow cat resolution : " That taking let° e insideration the sufferings and priva tions during the prevalence of the recent epidemic, airing in a great measure from the stemma of proper accommoda tion, and the unhealthy condition of the dwellings of the labouring clues, this meeting it of opinion that it Is highly desirable and n.cessary that measuoes should be taken for improving the habitations of the industrial classes in this parish." Mr. P. PLEYDELL BOUVERIE seconded the motion. Re entirely cooeurred in the object they were assembled to co nsider. It was vary desirable that a parish like the present should have an opportunity of expressing its opinion en the subject, althoush he foresaw that there would be some dif ficulties before it could be brought to bear. Mr. W. R. DALTON presented an address signed by upwards of 70 poor parishioners, requesting the parish to take the ease as to their dwellings into consideration, be cause they themselves were utterly helpless. Most of the persons who had sitned this address were known personally Mr. J. M. BAINBRIDGE, one of the medical officers, described the condition of the poorer classes during the late epidemic. The mortality in the parish was that of 55 in dividaeL Mr. OILLOTT and other parishioners spoke to the neces sity of some improvement. The see-lotion was agreed to. Mr. R. WRAY moved, and Mr. J. Wilda seconded, a re solution, " That a committee be now formed,lo consist cinch mem bers of both houses of parliament as have expressed their willingness to act, of the vicar and clergy, of the present and the past churchwardens of the pariah, with power to add to their number, and that such committee be authorised to con fer with her Majesty's ministers end others, to take such measures se they may deem expedient for obtaining a public act of parliament to promote the improvement of the dwel lings of the labouring daises in this parish." Sane discussion took place on this resolution, and it was ulintately agreed to, with the addition of the words— " And then to report to a future vestry the result of their deliberations, with a recommendation to the vestry of the plan which may be deemed best, and obtain their sanction before any future proceedings." This resolution having been *greed to, the vestry entered upon the consideration of tome minor reached matters, and then adjourned. PHILANTHROP I C ISOCIETY.- . RMIORATION THE CAPE We nem.

VALUE OF LAND IN IRELAND.—TIIE CONNEMARA ESTATZ6.—From the Mayo Constiruficti, a ennierestive journal, we ccpy the following es to the reel value of the property, and the prices brought at the sales already had of Ur se scans: " We perceive that some of our contempors. ries who Lave copied the bill of sale, complein loudly of the hardness of Its times, end the very low figure at v Inch land is Connaught is selling. Now, we apprehend they are under a mi,t_ke in • double point of view. In the first place, the land of Conn. more is not that class of land which could he expected to bring a lo: g price—it is principally the moor, had and in, tunable mountain ; and, in the neat place, price was a very fait one, taking futon uct the depression o ft n f the times.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.—On Tuesday an inquest was held at Towcester e n William Memel- and Funoes, hie wife, who lied been found deed in their house in th it town. ' The evidence before the Gerona , went to show that the deceased man had been jealous of his wife, and that he had shot her as she was lacing her before the fire, and that he had afterwards fi r a pisto boots l into his own mouth.— Verdict accordingly. A special general court of the governors of this in stitution was neld yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE in the chair. The Rev. SYDNEY TURNER, the chaplain, read the minutes of the last court, and of the committee meetings, from which it appeared that there were now 55 boys in the farmers' school at Redhill. Before hearing of the late agi tation at the Cape of Good Hope, the committee had taken steps for getting some more of the boys sent out to Pert Eli sibeth, and had written to Sir Harry Smith on the subject ; but this matter had of course been since abandoned, in con sequence of the agitation in the colony. At their last meeting the committee had received from the clergyman of Redbill his sanction to the licensing of the chapel in con nexion with the institution. In answer to arm, remarks in • Cape Town paper, a letter bad been address(' to the committee by the clergy and principal inhabitan's of Reigate (among whom was Mr. Paul Foekett). ezpres , ing their high satis!aetion with the institution, and contradicting the insi nuations of the Cape Town journal. The committee had had no corms:ion with the government in the matter of sending out their boys to the Cape, the only assistance re ceived Iron government being in tensest of some boys con victed at the amines, who were admitted to the society's schools, on the recommendation of the Secretary of State, with the hope of their being Telormed. The committee had been indoeml to send their boys to the Cape because it was not a penal colony ; aid was take! from the emigraloa com missioner*, but they only agreed to pay the passage money of 17 out of 35 boys. A-tatter from Mr. Turner, in reply to the attacks of the Cape journals, was read and approved, as was one from Mr. Munn, superintendent of the boys at the Caps, dated sth of Septesh r last, recommending that in the present excited state of the oolooy the emigration should be suspended. He stated that, of the boys already sent out, eight had conducted i into crime. most unexceptionably disposition of ine bad t u rned out unfavourable, and five had relapsed into crime. It was resolved that the memorial of the inhabitants of K. igste should be entered on the minutes, be communicated officially to Sir Harry Smith, and be advertised in the Cape Town journals. It was also resolved that the Earl of Carlisle should be sleeted • vice-president of the institution. The CHAIRMAN then, addressing the Rev. Dr. Rice, late preacher of the institution, presented to him • testimo nial, consisting of an elegant silver centre-piece, which had haw prepared in seem dance with the resolution of a former enestiog. He highly complimented Dr. Rice on the active intermit which he had taken in the institution as a member a the eassisittes. and the benefits which had resulted from hie geamazion with it. I The Dr. RICE earressed his Renee of the kindness of the committee during his 23 years connexion with the inert. tution es morn ing and evening preacher. He was highly gratified by the change which had taken place in the removal of the institution to Reigate, confident that its use (alma would thereby be greatly increased. Were it not for his coons :ion with Christ's Hospital, he should have been glad still to take • part in the management of the insti tution. (Applause.) He felt that be had been abundantly repaid f..• Ass services he might have rendered the irstitu don ; ar.d he needed not this additional sssurrance of the commi regard. (lieu, hear.)

A cenverlation arose as to Wotan , on which boys should be admitted to the institution who .were not couviAsd crimi nls, and who therefore might be supposed not to come within the society's act. The matter was ultimately referred to a committee.

A WELSH GmosT STORY, —A short time sioce, at a term la:aae in Killian, near Mold, the landlord had left a bailiff in pose-es...ion of the furniture and stock, for rent ar rears.

Tee) .ung bailiff wee put to ides? is the same 'tad with the flnnteS son, and the moon being about the full, the heoroom was tolerably light. Toey had not been long in bed before there was a terrible clanking of abeam with groans and other " eldritch" sounds heard on the stairs and lar.ding. The farmer's son exclaimed, " 0 Lord! the ghost, the ghost." He jumped out of bed, fol lowed ha the young bailiff in a fretsy of terror, wbo seised him round *he waist for rroteetaors against the stiyiruil in truder, which ralkei aro the ream, arrayed in white. H - soon deparerd, however, leaving the two youths in posses sion of the field; but when they were about to step into hod again, to! it had vanished apparently in the train of the ghost.

IRELAND. Drisure, Drc. 8. While such whigs . as Lord Cements and Aemiral Hercules Robit son sign the address to Lord Roden, and write letters to tell the woad their reasons for doing so, such tories as the Marquis of Westmeath adopt an equally startling, though infinitely more bocourable course, refusing to congratulate the Orange Grand Master on the glories of Delly's Brae, or, what is tantamount thereto, to reprehend govern ment for marking its disapproval of the part played by Lord Rodeo in connexion with that horrible affair. I Bat the following letter from the venerable marquis is worth a score like those of Lord Clements, or of the I I learned admiral who quotes Shakapeare and King , James I. on a point of law ; it is addressed to the , secretaryof the committee for promoting _the address : Clonteen, Drumsns, Nov. 24, 1849, Dear Mr. Nugent,—ln reply to your letter, inviting me to sign an address to Lord Roden, I must decline it. I merely intended to let my silence denote that ; but I see so muck mischief imitating from the agitation set on foot, I feel my self impelled to give my reason,. No one respects my noble frier.d more than myself ; but if be aUmitted in his place in parliament that he Allowed the armed assemblage which went to Tollymore Perk to go there against his better judg ment, then if he be a martyr, he is one of his own contriv ing. Lord Rodeo his frequently, in a most praiseworthy manner, persuaded the Orangemen not to walk in these processions, lspt so his judgment was against them. What happens ? The y that one armed body was to come fort calls out another, and bloodshed ensues. Now, is there anything calling itself a government In any pert of Europe, which would look on complacently t this sort r f turbulence t It Is vas the loyalty of Orangemen to the reigning family, and the principles wnich placed it on the throne, has passed into a proverb. The disloyalty of the Ribbonmen is the device and destruction they avow ; yet if the government cannot detect which among them committed the overt act which led to the disastrous result, it eanoot bring the law to bear on the aggressors ; bat that is no reason why they are to blame in making those among the ing about Orangemen who made themselves conspicuous in bring what followed amenable for their proceedings. Ireland, at least the west and south, have been, by an obsti nate pereeveranc• on the part of ministers in mischievous legislation. brought to the vent: of ruin. Our only hope of any redress was from the Enlist and Scotch mem bers. What do they usually say ? _Why, that we are so dis tracted among ourselves. that therao not know what to be lieve, nor how to act respecting us. What can they say now ? Why, that if our position be as represented, we area nation of madmen, abandoning the attention due to our passing affairs, toeing sight of them altogether, to judge between the exist ing government and a few magistrates, who at least have acted imprudently, and who no doubt regret in their inti mate conviction that any slip of theirs should first have coated a loss of life, and since produced an extended and in creasing angry feeling throughout the m ore To concludes one word on the merits of these armed strations cc the part of the Orangemen. It is true the protestant. de feted the Romanists, my 150 years &:o, at Aughrins. Is there any man not frenzied by excitement, that would say lab, former should be permitted once a year to remind the latter of their defeat and humiliation, for tear they should forget it? Well, whether the letter of the law was for or against the recent array in Lord Roden'. park, I think Christian charity, properly understood, would have omitted , the provocation, and we should not now have been distracted by, and had to deplore the results.—Believe me, very truly I your'. WESTILICATE. The next letter is a rejoinder to one, entreating his , lordship to alter the resolution expressed in the pre- , ceding epistle, and ensuring him that it was on Iron -1 stitutional and not on sectarian grounds that the ' 1 1 address was adopted: I Clonteen, Drumm', Nov. 23, 1849. 1 Dear Nugent,—You ask me whether the dismissal o' the I Berl of Roden irons the commission of the peso, be cons,- slant with the principles of the Widish constitution. The I crown has inherent in it the right to dismiss any person in authority under it, save the judges ; and it has been the custom, in all times in Ireland, for the exist in governmen to ancel the commission of justices of exist the e peace, subji. t ct, o f course, to its responsibility ; and, in my opinion, it is infinitely better to do so summarily, considering the peculiar circumstances of Ireland, and to base the propriety of such sets questioned at once before parliament, if necessary, than to have the agitation of the subject six m snthe before a court of law, where • politicol trill once begun is never suffered to end. Again, there have not been wanting instances, so lately as h ewno of George the Third, when his Majesty, with his hand, erased the name of the very highest personages in England from the Privy Council. In conclusion, lam as convinced as I am of my existence, that no man regretted more than Lord Clarendon did to find himself c.impelled by a paremouut sense of duly to take the ate; he di t as to Lord Roden; and I am sorry I cannot in the least change my opinion that the agitation of the subject, came -I on as it het been, will be very prejudicial to the ceuotry.—Very truly_yours, Richard Nugent, Esq. WISSINiI/STU. A correspondence has taken place between the Lord Chancellor, and Dr. ()rattan, chairman of the late National Conference meeting, on the removing of that gentleman from the commission of the peace. It 1 has been seized on by the Evening Ala i 1 Gig a parallel' case with that of Lord Roden, and made a weapon of ' desperate attack upon the government, although the grounds of the two judgments appear utterly dis similar. The last letter of the series shows that Mr. Orattan's explanation has been of no avail. MCRDER.—STRANOE DISCOTERT.—The eld pro verb " Murder will out" has been verified in the most striking manner in the discovery of a wil - ul and premedi tated murder, in the neigbourhoud of Col'oony, end which bids lair to vie with the murder b y the Manning!, which hr occupied so much space in the journals sit the day Inc some months past. The following facts are the only ones which we are mail' d to give to the public as genuine in this early stage of the proceedings : Some time since a poor Woal/11 was poisoned, ant subsequently barbarously d wi'b the tongs, whilst lodging in the house of a mon named Meehan, in the neighbourhood of Carrielebanagher, near Colloony. She had eight or ten pounds in her possession, of which she was rabed, cod then buried in a ditch site's to Meehan'a house. A men named T.

We have not a- yet heard the verdict returned on the coroner's inquest, but as the three pawns implicated were promptly arrested by Mr. James, the bead constable. at Colloony, we have no doubt from the esertioss end tact displayed by that most useful public cfHoer they will be fully committed f or trial.—Sligo Journal.
