EQUITABLE BANK LOAN COMPANY. Is con•equerice of an advertisement, stating that a lee;ing of the Pharetiolders of the Equitable Rank bout Company would take place at the City of London Tavern, on Thursday, April 6, Merril gentlemen, proprietors of shares in the said Company, met esterdsv at the place appointed; but it did nut appear by whom the mee.ing had been convened. It ' , en* stated by Mr. Vic:Efts, in the course of the day, that he bad that morning called at the Cempany 'a office, in Cateaton-street, to ascertain whether the advertieentent had been inserted by order of the Dreetors, when he we answered in the negative, and was told that the Direetora had given public notice in the papers that bar meeting had been convened by them, and that if any fleeting were to take Mare, in pursuance of the advertisement that hrd ap peared, it would be perfectly nugatory under the deed for regu lating the Company ; that no Director or Officer of the Company would tweed such meeting, and that all proceedings at it would be irregular and void. At one o'clock about IS or 20 persons had assembled, and with out any one being regularly appointed to take the Chair. 31r, VIC Las proceeded to state that it' there were any person present, on the part of the Directors, who could correct the state ment he was about to make, he should be happy to hear hint. He believed the facts which he had meertained would give the share holder* a comet idea of the exact poeition of the Company's affairs. It appeared that the money received by Fry and Chapman, for de putts, amounted to - £16,810 0 Received by Spooner, Attwood, and Co. - . 13,600 0 Value of Shares appropriated to the 30 Directory, Auditors, &e. not taken up - 9,000 0 Amount of Shares not issued or paid upon - - - WO 0 Making a total of - 40,00') 0 Ho that it appeared the cath which had been actually received watt 30,4101. He had sacertamed that t here was balance to the hands of the Minkel to the amount of - - Paid tor the College of Physicians 69 19 . 16.8:13 6 18,873 5 So that the Shareholders wanted information, in the feet plats, as to what had been done with the re maining . 13,333 13 Refound that there was an account of 2,892/. 12n. 6d. against the content, at present undischarged. being composed of bills for fur niture, printing, committee rooms, coals, and books ; 7s. 3d. far parliamentary expenses, and 100 f. charged for plate to Mr. Finlarson (as we understood.) This debt remained unpaid, and yet 13,00/. bad venishrl. The deposits from the 30 Directors and Auditors, amounting to 9,00 W. must be looked for at a fu ture day. A SflmtEnoLnra.—Dnes the 111,603/. Gs. paid for the College of Physicians include the repairs ? Mr. V tutus thought it dirt not. At all events, all that the ( °moony had to show for their money was the College, against which there existed a variety of claims, equal perhaps to half the value of that building. A Sia A n ?HOLD E a—The purchase of the College was at 10,000'. J know. Sir. Vioras--As this concern had been got up under very aus picious circumstances, a. far as names went, a great many stock hoichr. no doubt having paid their money because the Company came one with such name., thinking it impossible that gentlemen would lend themselves to any thing that wen nefariatia, they might as welt pee who of those m-ntlemen had anti rho had not pail upon their share.. (Alr.Vigers here read a list of the gentlemen who had taken up their shares, and also of those who had not ; but as no person attended the meeting on behalf of the Directors to correct any mis-statement, we decline mentioning the names of the per sons, all of whom were highly respectable.) lie then proceeded to say that several applications had been made to Sir William Congreve for the purpose of getting a meeting. but that notwith. standing sepeated promises that a meeting of the Directors and Shareholders should be convened, no such thing had yet taken pisce: in February last a sort of circular was sent him by Sir Wm. Csogreve, but without any signature, though from its tenor it appeared to be issued by the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The letter of Sir Irm. and the enclosure were as follows " Sir—l am, sorry to say that the attendance on Tuesday, the •21 Instant, was too small to form a Board ; I, therefore. caused the enclosed circular letter to be prepared, with a view to a Meetic: this day, which, however, has been agreed to be postponed until Nt . rdnevlay, tt.e 22d itatant, in consequence of an interview ex pected by one of the Directors with some of the Members of the Board of Trade. I can assure you every effort has been mad., and still is makiug , to procure the Charter. and transmit you en ciosed a copy of a second Petition, that has lately been presented to the Council by the Board, from a number or very principal chants of the City of London, bn!h of which we hive reason to believe might render imporant service. " I doubt not, therefore, that at the Meeting on Wednesday next something decisive may be known. and tint the result sin be the immediate preparation of a Report, to be submitted to a Geeetai Meeting. as soon as it can be prepared. " I am, Sir, your most obedient Servant, WILLIAM COXOREVE. " No. 13, Cecil-street, Strand." (Circular.) i " Sir—As Chairman to Equitable Loan Company. I feel it due to the general body of the Proprietary, to the few Directors who have of late attended the Board, and to myself, to request the earnest attention of' those Directors who havo for some time ceased to tate an active part in our proceedings, to the present state of the Company's affairs, with the view of obtaining their speedy advice and assistance as to the course which it may be thought necessary to pursue, at a moment when our exertions might be of the greatest Importance to the public. Whilst I have, in common with the Directors who have at tended, to deplore the want of the co-operation of the majority of oor colleagues in the Direction, and to lament that their absence has, in no inconsiderable degree. retarded the progress of our melt. ouse, still It gives me much pleasure to state, that the period is not yet pained when their active (actions may be productive of the but effects, and may at an early day bring our united labours to a surxesaful termination. " You ere, pedlar,, aware that our petition t* the King in Council, praying for a charter, was referred to the Board of Trade. with whom several communications have since taken place, 'although their first report was unfavourable. .Being still convin ced of the utility of the general principle of our plan, aod at the same time anxious to meet the wishes of many individuals who considered pans of it objectionable, we lost no time in preparing another pe t:lion. In which those parts were removed ; that petition is now be rate the Council. . . . . " lo the meantime, not only the general utility, but the almost absolute necessity, of the proposed establishment, have become daily more and more apparent; and such is now the conviction of that aecessity, that petitions jyt support of our prayer have been *mad by a most respectable body of merchants and traders, and presented to the King in Council and Beard of Trade; and it gives roe pleasure to be able to state, that amongst those now warmly interested in our success are very many intelligent and respect able individuals who had hitherto been foremost among our op ponents. " Thus our affairs at peseta stand, mid I feel convinced, that If the whole of the Directors will now come forward, and show themselves disposed to carry the business of the Company into stove operation, there would be no longer any doubt of the corn- piece success of our exertions. At the same time, I cannot conceal any fears that a continuance of apparent apathy, on the pan of so many Director, who were so actively engaged in promoting the Cats any at its outset, will have an effect extremely irjurious if ! PM altogether ruinous to its interests. Allow me to add, that, as a body, we owe it to the proprietors, a great portion of whose money has been already exhausted in e. deavours to carry this measure into effect, to lose no opportunity and to Mkt no exertion on our parts, by which they may be saved from low We owe it particularly to those, who, confiding In our premise" as men of honour. and in our diligence, as men tut business, were Induced to join the Company while its shares were at a premium, to do everything which the most unwea ried application can effect. in order - to show that their confidence was n.it misoleced. In fine, we owe it to our own characters, which ears been so grossly maligned by daily and hourly talumnies, connected with this Company, to disprove these slanders, and to allow the world that this was not a plan we had taken up lightly, er pullout having duly considered the means by which it might be resltsed , and thin we ran brat do by omitting no exertipn that human inelionry can accomplish, to carry it into effect. " Taking these matters into your consideration, may I hope that we shall have the advantage of your cordial co-operation in the measures which are now going forward. and your personal at tendance at the future meetings ul' the Board, Krtirtilarly at a meting of the Directors, fixed lot IVednesday, the la h instant, when inure full details as to our proceedings since the recess will I be laid before you.—l hare the honour to be, Sir, your must übe. clam humble servant." • reottutte, however, having been done, professional application was then made to Sir William, in answer to which a commuoication was received en the ltith of February, front Mr. Hind, the chief clerk to the Company, stating that the Meeting proposed had been unovoidebly postponed, and that Sir William Cottereve would write the following day. This was on the 1611 of Febeeary now Csec the Coli of April, and yet no meeting had been a ble , be obiaiiied. The expectation held out in Sir William Congreee'• totter, ahoct obtaining the charter, he (Mr. Tigers ) would take statunlitincif to say, upon the very best authority, was delusive. apd that there was not the slightest chance of ever getting it. This hr bed from tbe highest authority, which he should b.! happy to communicate t, confidence to any gentleman appointed Inert for the 41tereholders. There was not the least hope of any such thing, and this sort tit' talk was for no other purpose that; to amuse the Share. battier.: Fret all the documents, therefore. which he had been able to obtain, this Company appeared to he nothing more nor ICS, than a thing got up by certain individuals who had 'nude a good dome of it upon the Stock Exthnene. A Sitennitonusa—Who have been acting as managing Di. Stecaord? Mr. Vtozne--That he had not yet got at. The copy of the deed stated three Trustees. withoen whose sanction it seemed no date, retold he door.

Is was awed la she deed that the Directors should call two ne*tel meetings yearly; this bad not been done ; the deed was therefore violated. It was really lamentable to see the moves of persons ex. erciaing 'mole of the highest functions in the country mixed up with transactiors of the disgriteeful deacrimion that hail recently occurred in the way of joint..tock htihbliw. The speaktr then made some allusion to the condnet of slettibers of Parliament, and said, that on making mph, chin to a certain Member, now about to retire from the repre.entotion of —, to present a petition of a public nature to the Douse, that honourable individual declined doing so, alleging that " they did not come to the Douse except to serve their friends." flat the prayer of the petition been granted, it world hare saved the country one or two millions of money. but he could not get it preiAtted. Well might 31crulters ray that they could not attend to these things,when they mitered thernaelrea to be I connected with such speculations a. these oat of the House. With regard to the que.tion immediate•y before then', he conceived that the Director.' were hound to return all the money. How elate they expend four or tire thousand pounds in ri o.tra without any so. thorny ? It appeared too that they had paid to a celebrated Fentleman, who had lately been the candidate Inc an office in the earieh of St. Luke'.. 'lice or six themostol prottuls. There was a pretty jab!

A Sig ArtrwoLDElt —You mean a tragedy, Sir. Mr. PincusdiAininied taking up the matter otherwise than as a man of business. Notody was impugned—nobody implicated— nobody charged; their object WWI to acquire intbmiation, and to give the Directors and every other party ad opportunity to explain that which required exploration. A Gentleman thought it woubl be better to advertise the proceed , ingot of this day, nod cull another meeting, at which a Committee might he appointed to investigate the ofrairs of the Company. Mr. Vitt as was then called to the Chair, and proposed a MR. lotion to that effect ; observing that the result of his information was a conviction on his mind that the whole thing was an impu dent job; and he trusted no English gentlemen who knew their rights would suffer a few individuals to obtain their money, and spend it, and then turn round and laugh at them. He and those for whom he acted were determined to go on, anti; if there was a shilling in the pound to be got, they would have it. The resolution for convening another meeting on the 20th inst., at the same place, was then agreed to, and the meeting adjourned. CHI NA. We have received, via Vtingspore, a curicris document of the Celestial Empire, which is by no means uninterest ing. It is as follows:- IFront the New Hoppo, received 20th Oct. 18251 Fa Hoppo of Cancan, ita issues this mandate to the Hong Merchants. The present dynasty instituted the office of Hoppo. who has the general superintendence of maritime trade, on account of its corn. passionating feelings tewards distant foreigners; surely not in con. sequence of any necessity it has for the tbreigners' clocks and watches, broad cloth, long ells, &c. or for the sake of the annual duties, amounting to several hundred thousand tales, The Central nation possesses silk and cotton manufactures of ea r Mus kinds, enough to clothe and cover all its people, and abund ance of dials anti hour-glasses. as well as clocks and watches from Soarhon and Yang Chou, 'maiden' to ascertain the lapse of time. tYith regard td the rare and precious articles which are brought from the frue seas, and by the nations of the north and south, these are piled up in the Imperial palace in Mountainous heaps. When any of the provinces are aided with famine, millions of tales are issued from the rational treasury for their relief. What necessity, then, can there be for trifling commodities of foreign nations? In consemltence of the various people of the Western (term having long been dependent upon the tea, rhubarb, and other goods of China for their existence, therefore the office of Iloppo WWI established, to superintend the trade on just and impartial prin. doles. But as it was to be apprehended that the foreigners coming from afar. over a tempestuous ocean, ignorant of the language, and unable to procure food for themselves, would be deceived and cheated by wicked natives, the Hong merchants were instituted to buy their goods, and the linguists to be their interpreters, while pilots and compradores were provided them, as weU as food and Water, to support their existence. As it was likewise to be feared that the foreigners, unacquainted with the laws of the celestial dynas ty, might be led into a violation of them by wicked natives, a high and trusty officer was appointed for their especial superintendence, while the Viceroy delegated to the proper civil and military officers their government and control. The mercy was most great, but the laws are roost severe. The foreign merchants have either chiefs to superintend their affairs. or there is an inferior jurisdiction exer cised by each captain or master over those under his immediate cont mend. If they can strictly conform themselves to ancient usage, mutual good understanding may be preserved for ever. Rut as it appears that of late years remissness has proceeded from long neglect, with the exception of the English Chief, who. indeed, unsleratands the general principles or morals, fitness, and the foreigners of that nation (those in the Company's employ), who preserve a due regard for themselves, the others, namely, the Ame rican and Kiang Kin (country or Indian) foreigners, regardless of the great benevolence and goodness of his Imperial Majesty, listen to and allow themselves to be led astray by worthless Chinese. The law has always been, that if any foreigner felt him•elf ag grieved he should acquaint his Chief, or the Captain of his own particular ship, who might transmit the complaint to the Hong merchants for p resentation before the lloppo, who would act with justice therein himself, or consult with his Excellency the Viceroy on the best mode of settling the affair. It has been understood of late, that foreigners of various coun tries, allowing themselves to be led astray by worthless persons, and to be detected in the commission of improper acts, have, as soon as they were found out and restrained, pretended to have suf. fered some great hardship, and, taking upon themselves to present a foreign petition, proceeded to the city gates to deliver the same. This was a daring act of irregularity, and deserving of great repre hension. It is proper for me, the Hoppo, who have received the Imperial Commission for their control, to meet and consult with Ilia Excellency the Viceroy on the best measures to be adopted. What has already passed need not be revived, but this mandate is expressly issued to Hougua and the other Hong merchants, that they may transmit it to the foreign merchants of every na tion, They must strictly conform to old-established usage, and sweep clear away their recent bad habits. Then they will not repay with ingratitude the great benevolence of his Imperial Ma jesty. Let the Hong Merchants also sincerely, and with all their 'night, enjoin it to their linguists, &c. to " change their faces and to wash their hearts ;" to pay a strict obedience to the regulations, without seeking petty gain, thereby entangling themselves in the ret of the law. .liter the issuing of this mandate, should any person obstinately persist in ill-doing, or dare to treat this ailment. don lightly, I, the Hoppo, in conjunction with his Excellency the Viceroy, will investigate to what nation, and to what ship, the offending person belongs. If the offence be light, I shall order the Hong to have no intercourse with that particular ship ; if the offence be heavy, I shall address his Majesty on the subject of not permitting that nation's ships to enter the port. As to the worth- less Chinese who instigate to evil, I shall, according to the law which relates to unlawful intercourse with foreigners, first state the circumstances to his Maiesty, and then early the Jew into effect. The consequence will not be light to the persons and families, pa well as to the lives of the Hong Merchants. It is to be apprehended, that the mere privation of the Lotion will not be sufficient to cover their offence. Let all implicitly obey ; disregard not this special mandate. 6th Year, gib 31,t0n. TAONU K l~'AN(i. DEATH av A SPRING GUN.—We are sorry to state that J. Guthrie, of Coldstream, a young man about 21 years of age, died the on Tuesday last of a locked jaw, occasioned by the contents of one of those legal machines, called spring guns, striking one of Ifs knees a fortnight before. while walking in an inclosure belonging to the Earl of Home. The young man's sufferings, which nothing but death could alleviate, were of the most agonizing nature. It is strange that landed proprietors, merely for the pur pose of preserving bestial life, should persist in the use of measures by which human life is not only often entlangec ed, but soinetimts destroyed. Such things ought nut to Ob3orrer. Pi:Roof's Ilt:/iTION—Three boys resolved on a late A.mely to amuse themselves in exploring the nutlet coal pit.

Irtinates then wok him into custody, and con veyed him to Bow-street. Another witness, who also saw the transaction, gave similar mid ce. The Loan entre 31-evict stated to the Jury that, in point of law, the breaking the window and introduction of the hand was ea much a burglary as if the prisoner had entered bodily into the premi.ee. • The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty—Heath. DARING BURGLARY. fV,n. Wilson was indicted for breaking into the dwelling-house of William hart, and stea:ing, therein a gold chain and a variety of trinkets and wearing-spree:l, value twenty pounds and upwards, hi. property. The presenter stated, that he resides at No. 1, Lower -terrace, Islington. On the evening of the 3d of March he left his house in the care of a female servant, and did not return home until three the next morning, when he was informed by the watchman that a burglary had been committed. Ann filmes, servant to the prosecutor, deposed, that she sat up for the return of her master and mistress until near two in the morning. The window which was broken open was fastened with a wooden bar about eight o'clock, and the loon were bolted at ten. Witness went to lie down about two in the morning, soon after which she thought she heard a knock at the front door ; but on go ing down foiled it as she left it, and nobody there. Witness then went to the front parlotir, and found the door wide open ' • and on going into the adjoining room, prisoner stood facing her. Witness bad a light in her hand prisoner had none. Witness said, " What do you do here?" lie made po reply, except " I beg your par. don," but rushed out of the parlour, ran down stairs, and got out of the window, which was open. Witness was quite sure as to the identity of the prisoner. Witness immediately ran up to the front window, and gave the alarm, In consequence of which the prisoner was overtaken by the watchman, and brought back. Search was afterwards made, and boxes were found opened, and valuable pro. perry taken out. James Prince, superintendent of the watch for the parish of Islington, heard the last witness give the alarm, and immediately saw the prisoner conic out of the kitchen window, and run up the area. Witness and another person pursued, and never lost sight of the prisoner until they . overtook him. On bringing him back to the house, the servant instantly said, " That's the man." Wit. ness marched the prisoner, and found • child's coral, a gold pin, and three knives : but nothing else at that time. When the pd. 'toner was apprehended, he was without shoes, but they were found in the kitchen. A pane of glass was broken, and a piece of the window-shutter had been taken out, by which the prisoner was enabled to remove the bar, and li ft up the sash. Witness took the prisoner to the watchhouee, when he said, " They are my shoes." He was again searched, and a gold chain, seals, and other valuable articles were found upon his person, as well as others which were dropped on the way to the watchbouse. The latter consisted of a phosphorus-box and matches, which he now pro duced. Prisoner—The witness never saw me come out of the window ; he saw me look after the rail—that was all. The property produced was sworn to by the prosecutor 4 and, upon the unquestionable testimony which had been adduced, the Lord Chief Justice briefly summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty—Death. Aged 19. Before the LORD CHIEF ;JUSTICE and a Middlesex Jury. Murtha Plamby, a well-looking young woman, was indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of her muter, Joseph Tickell, Esq. (of the firm of.Tickell and Co., ale brewers), a gold watch and va rious other articles. The prisoner lived in the family of Tickell, at Clapham, as child's maid, and in the month of March last Mrs. Tickell missed several articles, but was unwitting to attach suspicion to any of the domestics without strong proof of guilt. Mr. Tickell had occasion to go down to Cambridge, and during his absence a gold watch and some articles of jewellery were stolen from Mrs. T 's dressing. room. She thereupon wrote for Mr. Ticket!, who came or to Lon don immediately. Foster, one of the officers of Lambeth-street Police-office, was sent for, and all the servants were ordered to as-euible in the dieing-room ; the prisoner being called amongst the rest, pleaded indisposition, and declined going down ; however, her fellow. aaaaa nt told her that Mr. Tickell could not dispense with her appearance. She then went down the first frght of stairs, , but pretending that she had forgot her handkerchief bent heck, and contrived to secret the ar ticles between the bed and the mattress, in her mistress's apart. moot; but in her confusion she inadvertently placed the keys of her own trunk, along with them. On the officer coming to search the servants' boxes the prisoner missed the keys, which however had Leen previously discovered along with the watch and jewellery by the housemaid, who found her in Mrs Tickell's apartment. Some duplicates of property belonging to the family were found in her box. The prisoner made no defence, but called witnesses to character. The Lou n Cif lEl' JrsTicw summed up the evidence, and the Jury found the pripotter Getil4, but at the persuasion of the prose cutor, recommended her to mercy. NEW COURT. Martin Easton was indicted for stealing a snuff-box, value 10/., from the person of Nodes Dickenson, The prosecutor stated, that on two 6th of March he was near the Horse Guards, when he was told by s gentleman that a person had picked hia packet of something. Witness immediately missed his box. The prisoner was seen mining away ; he was pursued and apprehended, and the box was found in has posseaslon. In his cross-examination by Air. C. PHILLIPS the witness said be did not six the prisoner following him, or feel any one pull at his coat; for aught he knew, the prisoner might have picked up the box ex he (witness) accidentally pullet! it out with has pocket. handkerchief. The prisoner said that he found the box, and being much ele vated he run off as quick a she could to give information of his good fortune. _ The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing, but not from the person.

'The prosecutor stated that he keeps the White Horse Inn, Crip plegate, from which place the chest containing the combs was. stolen about the 24th of January last.. It was 'conveyed to his warehouse from York, and belonged to s Mr. Steward- On the 2d of March,•owing to private' informa.ion, he obtained a search warrant, and went to the house of a person named Cole, !Whig in Rosemary-lane, where be Mood thirty-three dozen of the combs, which had since been proved to be part of the stolen property. In consequence of what passed on that occasion, he next took the officers to the house of the prisoner Mills. where upwards of two doz.n more were found; and at ishaw'a workshop was found part of the cheat In which they were packed. Mr. S d, the manufacturer, identified the property found at Cole's; halm could not swear to those at Mills's, because they had been taken out of the papers. Wm.

BRISTOL NORTHERN AND WESTERN RAIL-WAY COMP.tN Y. Yesterday a Meeting of Shareholders was held at the King's Head Tavern, in the Poultry, In pursuance to public notice. P. A NW IC I 4 tSt I, Esq. was called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN stated the object for which the Meeting had been convened. From the apparent difficulty of ever carrying the measure into (freer, several hhareholdets resident in London. as well as many persona in theeountry, whO were interested in it. had come to the determination of applying to the Directors to dissolve the Company, and return the deposits on the shares, with a reasonable deduction to inert the expenses already Incurred. This he conceived was the most prudent course that could be adopted under every circumstance. From the well known hostility which Parliament had shown to rail. way, there could be littleespeetation of the Bill being carried, and even if it were ob:ained, the Company would have :o contend with very serious opposition on the part of the landed proprietors, the major part of whom he had reason to know were decidedly averse to it. At all events, the Shareholders would not meet any further calls, so that the Directors must see the ne cessity of abandoning the measure. He had been led to expect that some of the Committee would have been la attendance to give the Shareholders some information as to what they intended doing ; and he regretted they had not some forward, as it was desirable that the subject should have a free and full discussion before .any decisive steps were taken. He then adverted to an anonymous statement, which appeared In another paper of yesterday, which spoke in very favourable MITTS of the Company, and represented that the funds had never been misapplied, there being sow a sum of 26,0911/. which was vested in Exchequer Hills ; it also intimated that • letter from Metiers. Osbotne and Ward, the respectable so licitors, would be read to the meeting. No truth letter bad, how. ever, come to his knowledge; but if it was a fact that 26,0001. had been so invested, the interest arising thereon for fifteen months would go far towards defraying the expenses. He was confident that the Directors would not attempt to drag an unwilling pro. prietary along with them; but if they attempted to do so, it would share the same fate as the Kentish rail-way, which was persevered in to the last moment, and via then abandoned aftgr an enormous and unprofitable expenditure of money. Mr. /1100111 E observed that the Directors bad admitted that they could not go to Parliament this Session. The CHAIRMAN said, it did not signify, because if the majority of the Shareholders were opposed to them, they should dissolve the Company, for Parliament would not pass the Bill. Mr. RAYNER felt it unnecessary to go into any lengthened de. tail ; after the very satisfactory reasons adduced by the Chairman for the dissolution of the Company, he conceived that the Share. holders had hut one course to pursue, namely, to throw their sen. timents together in a formal shape, and lay them before the Di. rectors, and if they refused to acquiesce with the Shereholders, other stepsmight be taken hereafter for effecting the object they had in view. He would therefore propose a few resolutions to that effect. The Resolutions were somewhat the same in purport as what the Chairman had stated in hill opening remarks. A Committee of four gentlemen were then appointed to cones pond with the Directors at Bristol, anti were authorised to adopt such measures as should seem expedient to them in order to pro. mote the objects in view, and to report the result of their labours at a future meeting of shareholders to be convened for that put pate. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. POLICE. QUEEN-SQUA RE. Yesterday two lads, named lioLert Banting and Thomas Orton. the first only nine years a etre, and the other not eleven, were charged by the mother of Ranting, who is a laundress, with making away with seven shillings, her property. Mrs. Ranting stated that she sent her little boy with some linen and a hill, when he was way-laid by young Orton on his return home 4 who persuaded her son to spend the amount of she bill, out of which Orton bought himself a pair of shoes. She had never known her son to behave so before, but she wished to have her son punished now. hit. WHITE—You may prosecute your son, if you think proper; but there is no cvklence to bring against his companion, except what one has told to the other, and therefore 1 wish to stop the matter short. Mrs. Ranting said that she had spared no money to educate her son, who was an excellent scholar. She took comfort that she had done her duty by him. Mr. WHITE—Very well, Mrs. Ranting, I dare say that the youngster is, all you say, • tolerably good scholar; but you now see what use he makes of the little learning you have obtain.d for him. It is the fashion of the present day for pareiits to get their children well educated, as they suppose, but beyond their walk in life; and it is practised in even the higher ranks of society, to an extent which patents have regretted. Those who oppose the new system, are, I know, considered as illiberal and narrow-minded ; but experience will tell the result of all this, and we must wait patiently for that till the evil works its own cure. Here the poor woman still entreated the Magistrate to punish her son. lfir. WRITE—If, in consequence of your request. I should COM. mit him to prison, which, unless you prosecute, I have no authority to do, be will come oet infinitely the worse. Ranting was delivered up to his mother's care, and Orton was or. dered to be detained in custody. IVORSIIIP-STREET. • Yesterday a man in the employ of Mr. Gilbert, of Hackney ick, applied to the sitting 3lsrstrate under the following cw. cumetanres : On Saturday week, be said, four beasts, the property of his master's tenant. Mr. Low, broke into a field belonging to Mr. Gilbert, who ordered the applicant to drive them into a yard on the premises and to lock them up. He did se, and his muter then went from home, giving him a strict charge not to let any person whatever take away the cattle until he returned. But no sooner was his master gone than two of Mr. Low's men came and broke the lock off the gate which confined the cattle. The applicant, seeing this, placed himself between the gate and the men, in order to prevent their taking away the cattle. They, however, forced him away, and assaulted him, and then drove away the fear beasts. He came now, therefore, by Mr. Gilbert's desire, to seek redress from the Magistrate. - . . Mr. BENET T—Was the place in which you confined the cattle the regular parish pound ? Applicant—No, Sir; it was a yard on my master's own pre. mists. t agis rate—But there is a pound in your parish ?—Yes. Then why were the beasts not driven there ? Applicant—Why, please your Worship, my muter is Lord of the Manor and he says he has a right to confine stray cattle on his own premises. . . . . . . BENETT—Whether your muter has the right which he claims or not, it is impossible for me to say—that must be deter mined by an action at law. But if those persons have broken the pound, your master, as Lord of the Manor, may, by bringing his action, mover double damages for such breach of poundage. An assault warrant was granted against the man who had struck the applicant, who then retired. UNION-HALL. CHARGE OF MORDER:—VestEMiaiiiiis office was crowded to excess in consequence of the examination of a man who was charg ed on suspicion of having murdered his wife. The prisoners name is James Kcatnn, an Irish labourer, who resides in Union-court, leading out of Kent•strect. On being placed at the bar he did not evince the slightest agitation. George 31 autey, night-constable of St. George's. Southwark, de posed that on Wednesday night, from information brought to him at the watch-house, he went, accompanied by two constables, to the prisoner's house, whom he found sitting with several other persons, smoking and drinking. They asked him to go up stairs, and lie followed into the one pair of stairs front room. There they found from ten to a dozen men and women, who appeared to be comulting together; there was a bed in the room, and upon the bed we tumid the body of the prisoner's wife covered over with a blanket. On examining the body they found that the deceased had received two desperate blows over the left tetuple, apparently from sonic blunt instrument. The skull was dented in. She had another blow over the right temple, and other marks of violence appeared. There was blood flowing from her mouth, and the body was quite cold. The prisoner on being asked how the deceased came by the two blows on her lett temple, replied, that she had received them by rolling out of bed, and striking against the screws of the bed stead. M►isey added, that he instantly tuck the prisoner into custody. The prisoner here expressing an anxiety to speak, the Magistrate recommended him strongly not to say any thing at the present stage of the investigation. Ile, _however, said he was determined on speaking, as he did not wish to state any thing but the real truth, and proceeded as Gollows--" On Tuesday night I came home be tween nine and ten o'clock. I had been informed by some of the neighbours in the court that my wife had been over the water with a sailor for prize money, and had thank five or six glasses of gin! When I came home she was sitting in a chair at the door, and the sailor was in bed in sur room. Ile was a poor man, and 1 gave him liberty to sleep tberc. My wife asked me if I should hate any supper. I had some and went to bed, and she went to bed also. Nest morning I got up et MI o'clock, to go to my work. and she was then lying on the bed, upon her left aide. She was very ill, and hearing out what she had had to drink. I said to her, 'it serves you livid. what do you drink so for?' When I came home to breakfast, my wife was lying on her left side, with her head under the bedstead, against the wall. 1 spoke to her, and she made me no answer, upon which I end the two women lifted her up, while a doctor was sent for." The :Magistrate suggested the necessity of making a search for the weapon that was likely to hare inflicted the wounds on the de ceased's temples. Maim, thinking that the 'wounds might have been caused by violent kicks, proceeded into the Flip where the prisoner stood, and having taken the shoe Or his right font, discovered two bob nails, with the heads projecting out a considerable distance beyond the toes. Upon examining the shoe, marks of blood were distinct on the sole, between the two nails spoken of. The Magistrate immediately despatched the constable to the pri. soner's house, and on his return said, that he had compared the two nails in the shoe with the deceased'a temple. The heads of the nails anti the distance between them exactly agreed, and he had no doubt but they corresponded, and, in fact, that the deceased's death was occasioned by violent kicks from the shoe. The prisoner was subsequently remanded for further examina tion. IRELA ND.

These poor Pit. fevers remained in the gaol until the prisoner wu led forth in , se _ cution. At that awful moment he berayed much want of fine_ nets. Notwithstanding the admonitions of his anxious and frl.tll director, the sense of his dreadful crime pressed heavily upnn mind—the prospect of eternity opened hefore him full of t er ," and almost devoid of hope. It was a dreadful moment to th e ee l; wretch, who stood weak and trembling at the foot of the tohh e , He was so exhausted and so depressed as scarcely to h e ! ,, e * to make his way to the platform. The multitude beheld him without insult, and without contpassion. In a few se nn.i, he was launched into eternity.
