On the motion of Mr. J. WIDDIOOMNI, eseseded by Mr. ANTHONY, thanks WON given to the chairman, and the meet- lag esPuli•lL THE PLYMOUTH (SUTTON) HARBOUR IMPROVEMENT COMPANY. An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders in this sompany was held at the Exchange, Plymouth, on Mon day, for the perms of receiving and considering a report from the directors on the subject of railway communication with the harbour, " and to adopt such resolutions thereon as the misting may determine." The chair was occupied by W. H. Hawker, Esq., the chairman of the board of directors. The CHAIRMAN, having e read the advertisement by which the meeting was conv ened called called upon the ems etary, Mr. Luscombe, to read the dime. ore' report. This document, which use of no great length, was to the effect that the directors, since the last meeting of the share ho!dere, bad been in further correspondence with the directors of the South Deve,n Railway Company, and had received from them on !neurone of their in tention to provide an efficient communication between Lain and Sutton Harbour, by an adaptation of the Dan moor Railway, and of their having instructed Mr. Brunel to make a survey of the line, and to advise them as to the best means of effectuating that intention, with reference to the trade of the Harbour. The directors need scarcely MUM the proprietors of the company, that the important subject of railway communication, was one which they on tinned to regard with anxious solicitude; and that the beet meats of making the proposed extension—as well as the ben eltuat on for the terminus—would receive their serious and attentive consideration—especially with reference to the pro- 1 vision of a continuous communication to the quays of Batton Harbour—an object in which they hoped they should receive the cordial assistance of the South Devon Company. Looking at the present state of the negotia tion, the directors had come to the determination — great as wan the responsibility—of ominously recom mending to the proprietors to leave them to pursue and adopt such memsnres with reference to railway communica tion as they might deem expedient, and as might be in, et likely to coodnee, in their judgement, to the present and im manent welfare of the company. The CHAIRMAN moved that the report be received and adopted, and Mr. H. BAHTTOI( eseonded the motion. On the suggestion of Mr. JOHN BATLT, the proceedings of former meetings of the company (ordinary and extraordi nary) held in 1M after the month of Aug., 1848, were read by the secretary, so far as they related to the subject. Mr. W. F. MOORE observed that one of those m e:ding resolution referred to a specific spot as the ter minus of the proposed communication, and that at or near that spot certain works were expected to be executed at the expense of this company. Now, he, for his part, saw no mesa why the whole of Sutton Peril might sot, in feet, be made the tension or why trammed& might be lakl down all round the Whorl% 1671141.61416110LLS said, at the present moment, there was no agreement whatever between this company and the South Devon Company—the qmstio• was com pletely even Mr. KELLY mid the whole matter would undergo con eideration by both parties, with the view of giving the most ellicient railway conummication to the whole harbour. Mr. W. ACLAND wished to how whether the direction bad ever been informed by the South Devon Company why they had abandoned their parliamentary branch, and now proposed to sake their communication to the south-east comer of Sullen Huber, inetead of to the north-cut? He had never beard any satisfactory reason given why the source should be adopted, or why they should be called open to trust M • IMO trammed, worked by hone-power, and eating at the extreme end of the harbour, to the great im provement of the property of dr se who had orposed the tut dertalking from the beginning, and to the great prejudice of many who bed taken the warmest interest in its mew. The South Devon Company bad got rid of a powerful oppo sition, and had obtained parliamentary powers to raise • large capital, expressly on the understanding that they would co. etruct that branch to Sutton Pool, which now appeared to have been given op. Mr. W. FOX said Mr. Aeland was mistaken. The bill which the Sutton Pool Company opposed was the original bill of the South Devon Company, which only gave power to treat with Main. Johnson and the Dartmoor Railway Creepily, for the use of that line as a means of comment. eating with the harbour. To the bill which gave power to the company for the mattruetion of the parliamentary branch, the Sutton Harbour Company had never given any opposition. - Me. NICHOLLS said, the old Sutton Pool Company, had opposed the original South Devon bill, and that opposition woo withdrawn, as Mr. Fox had said, on the introduction cf the clauses, authorising the treaty with the Plymouth and Dartmoor Company. It was also tree that the Sutton Pool Company had not opposed the hill for the construction of the parliamentary branch, because Mr. Whit/lord had come to the antamittee, and had agreed with them that the terminus should be in the north-east corner, on condition that the company should petition in favour of the hill, instead of opposing it. The CHAIRMAN said he for one bad nothing to do with the old Sutton Pool Company, and was not answerable for their sets. The proprietors of this company, with a full knowledge of the facts —seeing that in all probability unless sh 7 could got that the/ should get nothing—had Instructed THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 1849. their dbeetion to enter iota a negotiriou with the South Devoe Railway Company, ems the priaeiple of making the Plymouth and Dartmoor Railway a stuns of oommucketioa wkils their harbour. The directors had acted in conteemity with those inatrnetions, end the result. se far as they had yet gate, was entaleted in the report which had been read. Mr. ACLAND moved that ell the previous resolutions relating to this matter be now reetieded, and that it be left in the heeds of the Abeeters, to act as they might think best he the Were* of this sesspeay. The CHAIRMAN refened to the last pararraPh in the m vie on, which seemed , to fell in exactly with Mr. AelsatTs ws. lit. ACLAND assented, and the amendment was not pressed. Yr. B. HOPKINS wished to be informed whether the directors had sametained that the South Devoe Dempsey had emend into say contrast for the parches' of the lower part of the - Plymouth and Dartpeort line. He had reams to believe that there was ea such contract, and it was important that the shareholders should know, berme they pave their assent to any arrangewnt with the Sasth Devon Company, that that company had the means of carrying it ant. Kr. /LILLY said the South Devon Dempsey had paid sae= se =mum of the Plymouth and Dartmoor Line, and betraserally got mem= of it. . HOPKINS. -As purchasers? Mr. W. PDX said it was no Rattle to the Batton Harbour Comp= whether they got it as poreluorm or as limes. Ii was salitoiset kw them to know that they had got the means of bristle, their own railway on to the shores of Mutton Herbage, by the adaptation of the Plymoath and moor Liao. Mr. BdMPTON hoped the directors of this company would never be so simple uto allow the South Devoe, or any other company, to carry a line around the omen of the Pool. It would be country to sound policy to do se. The prover course would be to get the lbw extended to soma con , semen% spot, hos which this company might continue it themselves around the margin of the harbour. It was said that they had no power for that purpose. If that were so, he mild not see that the extension of the South Duos line to the north-east instead of to the south-east earner, would at ell help them; but he supposed there would be very little objection on the part of the sureheate and other owners of watsrside property, to the laying dews of a tram road, whisk would give them a direct comemaioatlon with the railway frost their own warehouses. He thought the beet sonne was to leave the wide matter in the has& of the &meters. Mr. NICHOLLS mid it would have been men mom satisfactory if Mr. Hampton could have told them t►at Messrs. Johnson had the eensent of three-fifths of the pro prietors of the Dartmoor Railway to the sale of a portion of their line. Mr. BAMPTON—The wiestioa is, whether they are let three-fifth,. Mr. NICHOLLS—Is it so ? Mr. HAMPTON—They have beet legally advised that they are quite competent to any out the arrangement they have made. Mr. HOPKINS—And I have bees legally advised that they are not. Mr. JOHN BAYLY reiterated at some length the objec tions which he had urged at former meetings, to the Map- Von of the proposed plan, as a substitute for the parlismen tary branch ; and read the opinion which he had obtained from Mr. N. 1). Hill and Mr Stephens, to the effect that the South Devon Company were legally compellable to make the branch, and that a mandamus would lie against them if they failed to d 0... He pointed out that the time limited in the set for the compulsory purchase of land had very morly expired: relied en the authority of Mr. Brunel as proof diet the Dart. moor line could not be made equally effelent with the other m a mem otemanumisation ; dwelt on the superiority of the north-east te the sout h -cut terminus, end insisted on the importance of taking such a branch as would accommodate passengers as well is goods. rather than a mere tramway, worked by home instead of by steam power. In the entree of the discastion which followed, Yr. Hop kin reiMnie4 his statement that the South Doman Compasy had made no contract Ow the purchase M the Dartmoor Lite, although Yr. Bantrataa had previously stated that they were actually in possmaion of it, and might begin to work upon it to-morrow, if they pleased. It also transpired that the directors had consulted lir. Jahn Kelly, who had gives them sash advice a be considered right with reference to the legal rights and interests of the company. What that advice was—or whether waned had been consulted—Yr. Kelly, declined at that moment to state—end the meeting generally agreed is the propriety Olds refusal. Eventually the report was adopted, Mr. Bayly auly dissenting. road trustee, aver that their vet is 7 per ant., but this is diepated. At all events, they run the it bars far within the precincts of the city, and mulct the inhabitants most severely. Complaints hive been made to no purpose, and lairds will never nederstsna the toll system until in turn they are 'SEIPP& d to pay for the use of city streets. Deputations from the Free United Presbyterian end Inderendent churches waited the other day on the Lord Advocate. On the suNject of titles to churches, the first item of business, his lordship intimated his willingness to support a measure by which dissenting church property could be held without reviling eon tinned renewal of titles on the death of individual trus tees. On the second object of their mission—that of making dissenters eligible as registrars under the pro poseiße4istrationßtll—the deputation was not so sue easeful, the Lord Advocate having signified his disin clination t, comply with the proposal. A public nesting in connection with the matter is to be held forthwith. The dissenters generally have not opposed the Marriage and Registration Bills, whilst the church party have done so from the first, and are still centinvng their agitation against them. The Edinburgh Parochial Board and the towns of Dundee and Perth have petitioned against the measures, and county meetings are rapidly getting up hostile petitions. The complaints made in Belfast against the Glee gow authorities for sending back Irish paupers are ludicrous. The poor-rates in Glasgow have been raised 80,0001. or 70,0001. by Irish paupers, and their oost otherwise will mulct Glasgow of at Wm 30,0001. additional. The rate in aid which has caused so much outcry amount, to only 80,0001. Bel fast has long dealt in the trade of exportiog pintas to the Clyde, and it has at last brought on reef the punishment of all over-traders—that of goods set wanted being returned on the senders. Much noise has been made about cruelty to Irish paupers in Scot land, but who ever bead of a Scotch beggar getting relief in Ireland!' The law does not award it, and Irish benevoleoce alum exceeds the bond. We have patiently borre with Irish poverty, till threatening to swallow us up; we must take measures for self-pre servation. The inhabitants' committee of poor-rate payers in Glasgow have made a report on the Merest questions remitted to them. They propose that a uniform mode of assessment should be resorted to over the whole couutey ; that assessment should be levied on income from all sources, a distinction being drawn between realised incomes end those drawn from precarious sources; that parochial divisions should be abolished, and parliamentary boundaries substituted in their stead, and that relief given ti Irish paupers should be recoverable from the Irish authorities. Native indigence is also being looked after; and it has been moved at our parochial board that as " drunkenness is the chief cause of pauperism, a peti tion be sent to the magistrates to lessen the number of public houses." A public meeting on this subject is to be held to-morrow night. There has also been Dome progress in respect to the condition of the self supporting poor. The governors of Heriot's Hospital, to whom a great part of the around plopetty of Edin burfrh belongs, have had their attention called to the' samtary state of many helves let by them to &species of middlemen, and sub-let by the latter to small te nants, and it was resolved that in future a direct con trol should be exercised over such rroperty. A blow is about to be struck in Aberdeen against monastic institutions for the young; it having been proposed that the boys belonging to Gordon's Hos pital in that city should be allowed to go home to their parents or relations during the right. The free (her& courts are following those of the establishment in petitioning against the proposed bill to legalise marriage with a deceased wife's sister. After a long discussion on the union of church and state the town council of Dundee resolved, by a ma jority, to aproint a committee to prepare a petition to the House of Commove praying it "to consider in what manner the ecclesiastical revenues of the cons try can be best ap; lied for the benefit of all classes of the community, respect being hid to the claims and rights of the present incumbents."

WAIIWICHRTITItt. BIRIfINUIIADf ATIIENIC INSTITUTE.—The seventh annual soiree of the monbers of this institute took place at their rooms in Birmingham, on Tuesday night, Lord Hobert Manners, M.P., the patron, presiding. The inathite was established for the purpose of enabling the members to.pto snots studies in science and literature, and for acqu i ri ng general knowledge. For this purpose classes in various branches were formed, a library was created, and the useful ness of the institute is said to have been considerable. In connexion with it gymnastic and other amusements were en couraged, as a means of recreation for the mechanics and others. who chose to participate in them. The classes have romewhat fallen off lately, but upon the whole the objects of the promoters seem to have been at tended with considerable MOMS. Amongst the various speeches delivered on the °deaden was the following: Lord John Manners, who was received with much applause, atter some apologrio remarks, expressed his grateful scknow ledgments for the kind manner in which his name bad been introduced to the meeting and he assured them that an long as his service, were satiefaetory to them they should be moat cordially and heartily rendered at their call. He congra tulated them, as their president, on the circumstance of the institute having accomplished its seven years' apprentice ship. He felt that they might now safely as• sums that a long career of usefulness, socially and individually, was open before them ; and it might not be amiss, standing on this vantage ground, to look back and re flect on those principles which bad seen them safely through eerie d dangers and difficulties, and which would, doubtless, , carry them, possibly, through still greater dangers to Anal 1 prosperity. Those principles were the cultivation of the mind and the recreation of the body, both being directed to the formation of a manly, sound, and moral character. The word " apprentieeldlip" recalled to his mind the considera tion that in one of the most important departments of this institute, as well as of all similar it:eta - miens, was afforded to the apprentices of Birmingham those advantages which in olden dart, kings, rulers, and govern ments had the wisdom to provide for the apprentices of every great town in the kingdom.—he meant the opportunities of manly recreations and sports. In olden days the bold 'pren tics lads of London had special grounds in which to indulge themselves in suck amusements; and it might amuse them to state how the historian lame .ted their impending de struction. He referred to old Stowe's lamentation, which was in language of this sort: " Why should I speak of the exercises of the longbow by the citizens of this city, now almost clean gone and forsaken ; I overpass it, for by means of the closing in of the common grounds our archers can no longer exercise themselves." In modern times there was Mr. Hutt's book, which, in endeavouring to ascertain the reasons for the decline of these old-fashioned games, dated that the decay of these gamesbal arisen, not from a want of inclina tion on the part of the people, but from the want of proper places, such as in olden times were allotted to thew, and which were now covered by houses and endorses, and that but for net games as bowls and skittles there would be no amusement for the human body. But be (Lord K.) was happy to say that in London a change had taken place, and a careful Queen had devoted Victoria Park for the benefit of her town-pent lieges, and in summer's evenings many grrups of cricketers and other floppy pedessrians amused theme-lees among its grastipla%. He was willing to hepe that tha time might come when some king, queen, or town councillor, or other migrate of Birmingham would find means for giving up some p:ece of land of this description to the youth of this town, in order that they might pursue throe 1 manly pulses to which be had adverted. (Cheers.) Be trusted that no lady or gentleman present would suppose that in thus Testing of then two deport menu of the institute, he undervalued the department con nected with the library and lecture-room. Far from it. Be was fond of readinr, and he rejoiced to hear that the lil racy was so well made use of, beirg eenvinced that the man who could study and enj sy Milton, Dryden, dwell with delight on the page of Shakspere, natures child—who could ponder over the truth-telling and almost prophetic page of Clarendon, the sweet numbers of Pope, or the biiher inspirationof Wordsworth, that man bad rouse' of delight which external circumstances, however they might interrupt, weld sot altogether suppress or destroy. (Appl.use.) When these stules were dire.sted to that moral end suggested by the motto of the institute—to mealy, consistent, honourable, and gentlemanlike pursuits, then the institute might be sold to address its mem bers Is the weeds of a quotatket from Juvenal, rendered by Johnson IMF Ihrth their knows Ass a bssithfal dad.

THE BOSTON CORPORATION TEEM DEBTS. —The Lords of the Tressury have agreed to the memorial of the Boston emporatioo, and given 'them permission to sell inch portion of their property as they dealt*, to payoff a debt of 20,0001. contracted by the old corporation, and which fella due in Jane, 1860. The corporation have chosen a quantity of property they hold in the town, consisting principally of old houses and building land, which is now only returning about 2 per cent. on the actual value, and which owing to ' the state of their funds, they are debarred from improving. As they are paying 4 per cent, for the borrowed money, it will be at OWN own that this tale will afford a great relief to the borough funds, and the corporation anticipate, as molt as this MAW is settled, that they will be able to do without any further boroash.ta.tee. HIGHWAY ROBBERY AT CAIIBRIDOL—The inha bitants of Cambridge have of late been frequently started by audacious highway robberiee, and another occurred on Friday night, characterised by great brutality. As Mr. Josephos Glover II A., of St. John's college, was returning from Gronteheet;r, about 10 o'clock, a tall ruffian, standing by • gate, struck him with great violence with a tremendout bludgeon across the forehead, which lad it open ; he seized the fellow by the throat, but another one. as yet unseen, grasped him by the collar behind, forced his knee in h• back, and pulled him in a half prostrate pos tion, while the first one beat their victim with the bludgeon. He guarded the blows with his arm, which is now for a time rendered as-less, and one blow laid his eye open ; they then throw him wholly on the ground, tore his watch from his guard, and robbed him of 11. 2a. He again struggled with him, calling loudly for help. Persona were heard coming, and the men decamped and escaped. A description of them being given the next morning, two persons we. e taken into custody, and Mr. Glover immediately identified them. They live at Grantchester. Their names are Hayes and Wilson ; and a youth who knows them well sow them standing near the place where the robbery was committed • few minutes before it took place. Committed for trial. BERKSHIRE MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Monday last the inmates of Easteourt, the seat of Captain Sir John Gordon Sinclair, But., situated abmt fourteen miles from Wokinghsm, were thrown into the utmost consternation in consequence of one of the maid serraate being apprehended by the police for child murder and cutting her throat. The wound in the primer's throat was sewn up, but she is not expected to lie*. COPY OF A LETTER FROM THE REV. JAMES SHORE TO A FRIEND. The GivgSt. Thomas's, Barter, March, 1849. MT DEAR SlR,—'ray seeeptroy test thaaksfor your truly kind letter aid sympathy on my behalf. I am thankful to say that lam very hippy in my cell, and I shell be rejoiced indeed if my imprisonment shall lead, by the bleating of God, to the entire liberation of religion from secular influence and control. How plain and simple, and yet. through the mists of prejudice and priestcraft, bow difficult to be perceived. that in matters of religion, man is responsible to God Once! Ism thankful to say my bodily wants are pro vided for. They are but few. I have fond and raiment. and I am therewith quite content. Iron bolts and bars cannot shut out the Heavenly comforter, nor pre vent me from having communion with One above. Notwithstanding my bare walls and iron grated window., I have much enjoyment in my pri son. I have but one wish, " Let the Lord be glori fied," all must be well when His cause prospers, and notwithstanding all opposition, I am sure it will ulti mately prevail. I beg to repeat my brat thanks for your very kind consideration and remembrance of me, and I remain, my dear sir, Yours very sincerely in the bonds of the Frond, JAMES SHORE. Draws, APRIL 11. The corporation has determined to petition in favour of the rate in aid, after a long debate on yes teriar. It is very pleasing to observe the respect shown by all religious sects and partied to the memory cf the late Roman catholic primate. His funeral was attended by numbers of the protestant gentry; and Dr. Elrington, the Regius Professor of Divinity in Trinity College, moved a public resolution in Armagh expreseing the deepest regret for Dr. Crolly's decease, and specifying his liberality of views, his freedom from sectarian ran cour, and his kindness to the poor. Thus you may' perceive that private virtues and high person& cha ratter will, eves in our discordant community, obtain general respect. At Ballycotton, a remote sea-coast villaze the county of Cork, most praiseworthy efforts have been made to introduce a self-supporting manufacture amongst the people. Various kinds of fishing nets have been made and sold, the fisheries have been pro- I meted, and a great number of families employed in', useful industry. It maybe recollected that last year the Lord-Lieutenant interested himself about the experi ment made at Ballycot•on of reproductive relief, so much struck was he with the results of the system, and with the energy of the two individuals who have mainly supported it, namely the Rev. George Mktg 'ton, the protestant curate, and Mr. Edwards, chief officer of the coast-guard. Mr. Hingstoo is a ropular preacher, of considerable eloquence, favourably known by some published sermons, and it is pleading to see a gentleman of his literary attainments making him self so practically useful to society. THE LATH CATHOLIC PRIMATE'S FIIWILIIAL.—Tbe TO. mains of Dr. Crolly were removed from Drogheda on Satur day, and, accompenied by the carriages, and, in many cane, the gently of the highest station in this county, arrived in Armagh at three o'clock, on the same day. The main containing the remains was placed in the Roman catholic chapel. On Sunday, at three o'clock, the funeral pro cession moved from the chapel towards the new cathedral, in a vent in the centre of which building are now deposited the rennin of the ensued prelate, who projected that mag nificent ancient,. Amongrt the Roman catholic wines who attended,were Doctor D.nvir,of Belfast, and Doctor Mthrally, of Ologber. The Vice-President (Doctor Rnesell), the Rai. George Crolly, and some of the Profession of Maynooth.were present. Amongst the clergy of the established church we observed the Rev. Doctor Elrington, the Revs. Lord John Betesford, Irwin, Wade, Ac., dtc., wearing waifs and hat bonds. Several ministen of the Presbyterian church and other communions also attended. The protestant geatry of Armagh and the surrounding country attended in gnat numbers. Several of the protestant gentry and professional men wore scarfs and hatband,. Of Roman cathol.e clergy men there were from twenty-five to thirty, a considerable number of whom wore mourning cloaks and hatbands; and, on the entrance of the hewn within the grounds surrottnd leg the new catholic cathedral, commenced to eheunt the Requiem. The pupils of the Roman catholic college walked in the funeral procession. All members of the Roman catholic communion in this city and the environs who could attend were pretreat; and I should say that the eggrrgate number constituting the funeral procession amounted to from five to six thousand persons. In truth, never was there in Armagh a more marked and striking manifestation of respect for the memory of any deceased person than on the occasion of the funeral of the much lamented Dr. Crolly. —Newry Telegraph. SCOTLAND. Enwnraon, Arum 10. Considerable disappointment has been felt here that Sco•land has not been included in Mr. C. Lewis's bill for the consolidation of road and turnpike boards. Mr. Pagan's scheme of road reform has thoroughly opened the eyes of the public to the expenso and cumbrousness of the preeett system, but the county proprietors cleave to antiquity with such iron tena ciousness, that there is no convincing them. either by figures or reasoning. The average cost of ollec tge in Scotland is 60 per cent. 1 in Edinburgh the DISCOVERY OF ROMAN REMAINS AT COLCURSTI —On Monday se'nn;gist, Mr. J. Taylor, jun., of West Lodge, near Colchester, made further researches on the site of the Roman burial-ground which adjoins the Leaden road, and laid open several sepulchral deposits of urns arranged in groups, with panne. lamps, personal orna ments, and other object*. The number of funereal vie eels fund is about 2&0, exclusive of a great variety of other remains; and it is calculated that in Mr. Taylor's grounds, covering about 12 acres, there are at least 11 times as many urns still unexhumed. In the evening a meeting was held at the rooms of the Literary Institution, the Rev. S. Can in the chair, at which the leading people of the place, including the mayor, Sir Henry Smyth, and many of the clergy, together with several of the members of the Arcbteologied Association, assists d. Mr. Taylor baying stated his intention to present the entire collection as a nucleus for a local museum, and explains) how the remains ban been first discovered, Mr. H. Smith, Mr. W. Newton, Mr. A. White, and Mr. Price, severally addressed the meeting, describing the various antiquities which had been brought before them. All united in saying that a more impo tent collection had never been brought together in, so short a space of time. The forms of the find* and glass vessels an extremely elegant, the lamps are or namented with various designs, among which may be noticed a centaur carrying an amphora, a caduceus between two cornucopias, a fuller at work, gladiators fighting. Some mirrors made of speculum metal were not the least curious of the objects exhibited ; they relined their powers of re flection unimpaired by the damp and darkness of 1,600 years. The ceins are of early date, nose of those exhibited being later than the time of Adrian. The meeting passed a vote of thanks to Mr. Taylor for his liberality, and to Mr. Re Smith and the members of the Arclueological Association for at tending on this occani os. It is to he hoped the people of Colchester will join cordially in preserving their antiquities, and contribute funds in aid of the 1A11t,1117211. DEVONSHIRE. THE ARBITRATION —On Thursday a meeting "ma he'd at tha Assembly Rooms, Tiverton, to petition parliament in favour of Mr. Cobden's motion, for an arbitration clause in treaties. _ Mr. Eau Sunlit. and the Rev. Henry Richard, attended as a deputation from the Peace Congress committee. The room was filled by a most respectable audience, who responded to the sentiments uttered with great cordiality, and approved of the propositEen for international treaties, as explained by the deputation. Rev. Edward Webh moved, and Rev. Henry Wittigin seconded, the adoption of a petition, to be forwarded for pre sentation to Lord Palmerston and John Heatheot, Esq., the members for the borough, accompanied by a request that they would support its prayer by their vote and voice, which was carried with she utmost unanimity.
