It is not correct, as has been stated, that General Irunams, at his departure from this country, had with him fourteen Officers, said to compose the Staff of his fu ture army. Only one Aide-de-Camp accompanied him, who arrived in this country a few weeks back in the TIIETIX, Sir JOHN PHILLIMORE. The General, bhortly before his departure, had received bills firm the Mexi can Government to the amount of 1,900!. being a por tion of the annual i ension assigned him on abdicating. The ship Thalia , of 375 tons Captain D. N. blusao arrived a, Portsmouth a few days since' tow, Batavia, Cape of -Good Hop e i and St. Helena, bound to Rotterdam, with a valuable carrell of coffee. On the 12th ult. in lat. :29. N. long. 31. W. she sprang a k and made five feet water an hour. Six d..ys afterward, by t.t ping both pumps constantly going, at which every person, pas. seugers, and even the Ladies, took regular torus, she made the island of St. Michael's; but it blew a hard gale from W.S.W. with a dreadful sea running. Being close lit with the town of Nitta Deizardo, she made the signal for assistance, anti after nearly two hours exertion, a boat happily reached the ship , with Captain S. FINLAYiON, of the schooner Duke of York, and nine men, who had volunteered their services—a most happy relief to the anxious minds of all on board, as the two spare pumps arid boats were com pletely disabled, and it continued to blow very hard. with the ship on a lee shore. After continuing at the pumps all night, the wea ther moderated, and Mr. READ, the Consul, came off, with needed stultify supplies. As the island afforded no shelter from the southerly winds which continued to blow strong, Captain MuNto determined, at all hazards, to proceed to his port of destination. li e !sired nine Portuguese to assist his men at the pumps, and in work. Ing the ship ; sailed again, and by constantly pumping (as the leak continued the same nearly the whole of the passage), arrived here in safety, but the crew were greatly exhausted. The cargo (which has been thus preserved to the owners by steady perseverance and good conduct) is now unloading at this port, to ascertain the leak. MEETING AT LLOYD'S. A Public Meeting of .the Subscribers to Li t ayb's was held yesterday to consider the propriety of taking steps to oppose the motion of Mr. Buxton for abolishing the exclusive Charters of the Royal Exchange and London Offices for Maritime Insurances, and allowing other Companies and Partnerships to effect such Insurances. The great interest of this subject led to the fullest Meeting ever held by this body, there being more than 1,000 Members present out of 1,610, the total number of Subscribers. Mr. BENJAMIN SHAW, who was called to the Chair, addressed the Meeting at great length. He contended that the Joint Stock Companies' partnerships, so far from proving useful to the public as insurers, were really injurious, as it was utterly impassible that one in dividual, acting as the agent of the Company, could display so much talent as a body of men who were all acting with a proper spirit of competition. In Joint Stock Companies, 490 out of 500 shareholders, were really idle, whereas among the Subscribers of Lloyd's, 1,000 persons %sere actively employed. Commercial prosperity, he said, depended upon the union of talent and capital, not capital alone; and he defied any mall to shew that more equity or enterprize could be shetvn by any Joint Stock Company, than rry the Subscribers of Lloyd's Coffee-house, who had embarked wealth, honour, and integrity in their undertaking. As a proof of the estimation in which they were held by foreigners, he would mention that many insurances effected abroad had been re-insured here, and two out of the three ma ritime insurance offices wl.1:11 were established in Paris had been ruined. The extensive charters of the Royal Exchange and London Assurance Offices had been guaranteed by the Government ; and he eferred to the declaration of the hue Spencer Pe: ceval, Esq. and Lot d Ellenborough, that they should not be irlterferetl with ; sheaving that from 500 to 1,000 persoes had :elm qui s hed all other pursuits to become trnAerwriter - s, iyon the faith of these declarations. Mr. Shaw coin. iutle.l an animated speech, by stating that a memorial to Go vernment on the subject- had been prepared by the Com mittee; but from its great length he would not trouble the Meeting by reading it. Mr. DEWAR followed on the same side, . contending that the Subscribers of Lloyd's were entitled to protec tion from the Legislature, and animadverting in severe terms upon the lately established Alliance Insurance Office, many Subscribers to which bad sold their shares at a high premium, having - a real capital of not a third the amount of that embarked by the Subscribers at Lloyd's. He spoke at length of the moderate rate of the insurances effected by that body, and of their in• dividnal and collective responsibility.. He appealed whether the Underwriters had not always come for ward on public grounds, and for charitable purposes. by establishing the Patriotic Fund, and alluded to the large subscriptions after the battles of the Ist of June, St. Vincent's, the Nile, Trafalgar, Waterloo, &c. &c.--- They had also supported Government in its plans for establishing a free and unrestricted trade; and he thought their whole conduct entitled them to the eonsi• detation of Government. He thanked the Chairman and the Committee, and concluded by moving a series of Resolutions for appointing a Select Committee to join the Standing Committee, to oppose the establish ment of Joint Stock Companies for under writing Pol icies of Insurance, by petitioning Parliament against them. Mr. CARIMIIiEIta seconded the Resolutions. lie could not allow the opportunity to e,cape of expressing his deep regret at the loss of their late valuable Chair man, but still it was a satisfaction to find that the pre. sent Chairman arid the Committee were actuated by the same zeal and energy is behalf of the interests of the Subscribers to that House. Ile went over much the same ground as the previous speakers. He hoped that every shareholder in the new Companies would be liable for all acts and deficiencies of the joint stock, and that the moment he signed the deed he would be giving instructions for entailing a Chancery suit upon his' family. Our trade was protected by the Underwriters of Lloyd's, and in time of war our army could we have been supplied abroad but for the protection given • by them to the Merchants furnishing the supplies to Government. lie contended that the Merchants had no reason to complain of the high prices of premiums,' nor would he answer the long refuted calumny that there was a danger of the stability of that room, or that it was impossible to effect large policies among them. If they should be allowed to effect such policies as were projected, he feared that Coffee-house was approaching to, not a natural, but a possible death. Mr. BROWN was certain that that House had nothing to fear from open and fair competition, and this Marine Mutual Insurance Company would not venture on such a competition ; but they bound all the Subsc:ibers to insure with them only. This would be done by other' Companies, and they might have East and West India, Baltic, and other Companies. He thought that a clause would be inserted in the Bill to make the property of each Shareholder liable for the joint stock debts. The Resolutions were then carried, and the Meeting separated. About eight clockll . on Monday evening, a desperate attack was threatened to be made upon Middlesex Hos pital, arising out of the following cause :—lt appears that on that morning, an Irish labouter, who had been at work on some building, fell from the scaffolding, and received so much injury that he died that day. His countrymen got it into their heads, that the body was to be detained for the purpose of dissection, and united to the number of several hundreds in front of the hos pital, and threatened instant destruction to the entire building, unless their deceased countryman's remains were immediately brought out to them. This, of course, could not be complied with until the Coroner's Jury had sat on the body, but the tumultuous crowd would listen to no explanation. The people of the hospital managed, however, to keep up a parley with the assail ants, by affecting to make preparations to bring forth the body, until 4 strong party of the Police from Marl borough•street and Mary-la-bonne offices, who were privately sent for, had arrived ; who, after representing to the multitude that the body of their countryman should be given up to them the moment the Inquest was over, succeeded with great difficulty in allaying the storm, but it was not till after a space of two hours, ten o'clock at night, that they could get the court-yard clear. Last week, as Mr. Jout•rsort, the brush-maker, and political colleague of HENRY HUNT, was returning home to his residence near Blackley, he was attacked on St. George's-road, Manchester, by four ruffians, who, not content with robbing him of everything valuable about him, maltreated him with such brutality, especially about the head, as to deprive him entirely of his senses. Ile was conveyed to the Church Tavern, not far distant, w i t h but small hopes of his recovery. LAN REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY la. IN THE MATTER OF SMITH% The LORD.CHANcsrt.oft pronounced his decision in this case to-day. He did not know if Mr. Hart had seen the affidavits against Mr. Smith, and those sworn by Mr. Smith in contradiction of them. His Lordship expressed his conviction, upon a perusal of these docu ments, that the Court of King's Bench did not come to a conclusion in their investigation of this matter in the light and hasty manner which Mr. Smith had repre sented. After the Master had made his report, and the Court had ptonounced their decision, the affidavits were submitted to the consideration of Mr. Justice Bayley ;, and that Learned Judge, after weighing the statements contained in those affidavits, statements involving the most direct contradictions, and consequently the grossest perjury, stated hi; conviction that the Court of King's Bench could have adopted no other course than that which it had pursued. Ilk Lordship then referred to the important allegation of Wheatley's abserke from Nottingham On the day on which the bail -bond pur poi ted to have been signed by him; and observed that that allegation had not been contradicted by Mr. Smith. If it could be contradicted, he thould be glad to see an affidavit to that effect. There was another fact in this case, which his Lordship confessed struck him with the greatest astonishment; namely, that Mr. Smith could have retained in his employment such a character as he himself had represen:ed Wheatley to be. Upon every view of the case, looking at it even with the most hu mane consideration, his Lordship felt it impossible to. come to and culler concluiion than that to which the Court of King's Bench had aheady come. He was sorry to he compelled to say that on one side or the other the gio;se , d pet jury he had ever tl iines,ed had been committed ; and it was his determination that it rhould he brought before a Jury, and the guilty party might expect to be visited with merited punishment. Mi. Smith said he would contradict the allegation of NVheatlay's absence from N.ntingham on the day alluded to. HottNiz, for the other side, s.,id he hoped to sec Lite affiJavit beluie it %tent in to his Lordship•. C01.711T KIN(i'S BENCH, MAY is. MORGA N V. PA I.MER AND OTHEItS• This was an actioa agaiust the late Mayor of Yar mouth and his officers, to re, over the AIM of four shil lings, which they had taken limn the plailaff, as a fee on granting him a license to Veep an alehouse within the borough. It had long been the practice to receive this sum on making out such licenses, but ho Mime motial usage was shewn to ,uppiat it. A ve i ,li ‘ r wa s obtail;ed, subject to the opinion of the Court on a spe cial case as to the right of the plaintiff to recover. Mr. ltot.FE now at gued, that the lee was improperly demanded ; that the plaintiff was compelled to pay ; and had a right to recover it back M an action. Mr. DOVER, on the other side, contended, that even if the fee could not be justified, the plaintiff had paid it with a knowledge of all the facts, and consequently itt his own wrong. The Cowr were clearly of opinion, that the de mand of the fee was bad in law, and that the circum stances under which it was paid took the case out of the general rule, that money [ aid with a knowledge of all the facts, cannot afterwalds be sued for with succes.. Ti:ey therefore gat e judgment lot the plaintiff. I'OLIOE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL James Norris was fully committed for stealing a reticule, con. Wiling Slane iatidel of trifling ♦alue. A Allis Betts had knocked at the door of tier re - jdence, in Now Union street, Finsbury, about ten o'clock on Sun& y eight, when the prisoner and another 'matched her reticule, tore her dress, and r A tu off.

J. *lye, the boatswain of the ship CAlicrine Stuart Forbes, trading from St. Helena, was brought before the sitting Magis trate, charged with having killed J. Fe-arson, the butcher of the ship, on the '24th u. April, en the voyage homeward. It was stated in evidence he three or the pris.,:;er s messmetes, that he and the de ' cease d had bad various disputes on the passage ; that the prisoner, upon the occasion which concludtd fatally for the deceased, charged the I,r!er with naving acted, ever since the vessel left Gravesend, a lazy lubber, and wilt having left the brunt of the labour to his mesamates; that the prisoner and the deceased were at this time sitting close to the hatcißvay, and that the deceased said he was as rand a man as the other, and able to prove it at that moment; that the language between theni became more and more violent; and that at length the prisoner seized a tin por which lay ntar the spot on which they were sitting, and struck the dece”ed, who tumbled down the hatchway, the batches being up. The witnesses could not swear whether the fall of the deceased was to be attributed to the blow, or to the endeavour to get out of the way of it. Neither the pr:soner nor the deceased were remarkable for engaging in quar rels of any kind, and the prisoner exhibited upon the occasion a considerable degree of sorrow and apprehension respecting the de- ceased. - For two days the unfortunate butcher lingered under thy bands of th surgeon, and then died. The Magistrate, under all the circumstance:, committed the pri soner upon the charge of Manslaughter. The stiro it cost last year to collect the Tax on Salt, amounted to £32,000. The number of steam vessels now'employed in Great Britain is 160. The largest in size are the packets which ply between Leith and London, and next to those are the packets which sail between Liverpool and Greenock, and between Liverpool and Dublin. The Leeds Mercury says, " The Petition to Parlia ment for the reversal of the sentence of the late Mr. SMITH, the Missionary to Demerara, and for the future protection of Christian Missionaries, has received about 5,000 signatures in this town, in the coarse of the pe t sent week." W. Batting, a boy belonging to the National School in Baldwin's•gardens, was on Monday cleaning the win dows of the Establishment, preparatory to the Anniver sary Meeting of the Governors, when he fell therefrom, and was killed on the spot. To EXTINGUISH FIRE.—We have, on a former occa sion, mentioned the idea first conceived at Rome, of ex tinguishing fire in chimnies by throwing flour of sulphur on the fire in the grate. Recent experiments in France I have fully confirmed the success of this method, which is in fact perfectly consonant with this theory. But the person using it must be careful not to throw too great a quantity,:bf sulphur, because he would be exposed to inhale the noxious effluvia, which destroy animal life, on the same principle that they extinguish the fire.— Piedrnentere Genetic SPORTING INTELLIGEiVGE.
