WILLIAMS. btricey, and Co. the full amount of 1,99111., before all other ere ctile's under the Commission. which had been paid into the house of the bankrupts, as blinkers to the Commissioners. The eireum. stances of this case were precisely the same as that in which the Commissioners for paving the north-west division of the parish of Pancras were plaintiffs , against the same defendants, which as reported in our paper of haturday last, with these exceptions-- that the house of Marsh, Sqacey. anti Co. had never been sp. pointed bankers to the plaintiff, though Mr. Fauntleroy had been appointed treasurer. His appointment, however, was contended to be invalid, as by the Local Act it was required to be made under the halide of five Con:mbuloners, whereas it was only under the hand of the Chairman. There were two counts in the declaration. the one claiming from time defendants as assignees Of the general effects of Marsh, Sucaecy, and Co. ; the other claiming trom the defendants as assignees of the separate estate of Henry Faunt leroy. The amount gone for in the action was paid to 'lr. Fount teroy, 24/. in Bank Notes, and 1,7301. in Exchequer Hills, which were diseased of by him to some person. The case came on for t?tal before the Lord Chief Justice, at the Sittings here after last Trinity Term, when it was turned Into a special case upon the ful. I,,wing Niels Ist. Whether, under the provisions of the Act of Parliament, the plaintlfti were entitled to recover the whole amount of their tick from the defendants before all other creditors, the bankrupts havmg eever been appointed bankers to them. 2dly. If the plaintiffs were entitled to recover, whether it was from the joint estate of all the bisnkrupts,or front the separate estate or Mr. Faantleroy ? Mr. F. Possocx now contended, in behalf of the defendants, Brat this ease was clearly distinguishable from the case of Foist r. Holland, decided against the defendants last week. There the bank rupt. had been specifically appointed bankers to the Commissioners, i• etriur.g. Here, however, there was no such appointment. Neither could the bankrupts be brought within the meaning of the words " other persons," used in the General uletropolitan Paving Act, because those words, cx vi termini, meant persons connected with the Commissioners in their official capacity, and not mere bankers, with whom they were in a common course of dealing; as temporary depositories of their money. The beamed Counsel elucidated this position, by supposing that the Commissioners had heeded this money tot person not holding any office under their ap pointment, for the purpose of being paid into a bank, and that that person bad become insolvent, it could never be contended that such a person could be brought within the meaning of this Act, so as to give the plaintiff. a priority of claim before all his other creditors ; and so, if the money haul been paid to a stockbroker to be in vested. As to the second point, if the plaintiffs were to recover from the separate estate of Mr Fauntleroy, they could not have the pre. terenee over all ether creditors specified by the Act of Parliament, unless the money received by him arose out of rates collected ; and two coastal, it might have been derived from loans, as the Commis sioners hail a power under the Act to borrow. The ',earned Conn. eel urged that if the Court were against him, as this was a very int portant case, it ought to be at all events turned into a special yet atct.in order that the defendants might take the opinion of a Court of Error. _ . Mr. CHITTY contended that this case was not distinguishable from the case of Frost r. Rolland and others, decided on Friday last ; because, though the bankers here were not appointed such, as they were in that case, yet it WAR a tact found by the .ipechil case, that b' they were the bankers employed by the plaintiffs ;" and, therefore, they came under the authority of that ease. On the other point, it was agreed by all sides, that, if the Court ICCIr of opinion that the plaintiff's might to recover the full amount of their claim, it was unnecessary to argue out of which estate the motley was to conic. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE. after consulting with the other Judges, said that this case certainly differed from the case of :'rust Rolland ; and, therefore, the Court would consider of the IV It ter, and deliver their judgment on a future day. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. TUC PING V. HURNDON. The Coat NON SERGEANT moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the defendant, a gentleman residing at Ifinclielses, for having said of and concern ing a Mr. Powell, a Magistrate residing at that place, in public vestry, that he had granted summonses against several persons merely for the purpose of putting money in his own pocket. Mr. Powell, by the affidavit shirts he had sworn, and on which this application wu founded, negatived any pretence for the imputation mast upon his character. '.Vhe LORD CHIEF JUSTICE. —Take a rule to IsIICW Cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, TUESDAY, Juxx 6. Mr. Sergeant WILDE had, on a previous day, obtained a rule to %hew cause why the defendant, who is the agent of Gregor Mac gregor, and who had been'arrested for upwards of 6,0001., should not be discharged. Mr. Sereant VAUGHAN', upon a ffi davit, 'hewed cause against the rule. The claim of the plaintiff rose out of Poyais bonds issued by the defendant, as agent of Macgregor. The commission of the deoeudant professed to be sealed with the "sal of legation," and was drawn up In most pompous terms, such as—•• 11'e, Gregor Macgregor, Cacique of Poyais, Major of Gorse, Commander of the Order of the Green Cross, Charge d'Afriires, fcc.;" but, not withstanding the appearance of these high-sounding titles, it was set fo; th in the affidavit that no Government ever existed such as that the defendant represented himself to have received his appoint. anent from, and that he knew at the time he was getting a loan on these bonds, which were to bear an interest of live per cent., that there could not be property of apy description forthcoming to meet them. This, them was a fraudulent transaction. The Learned Sergeant contended, that if the defendant were discharged, he would gn to his Government of Poyais, and the plaintiff would be left without any remedy. Some of the bonds had been executed atter the defendant's commission had been recalled, whkii was in 1623: it was true they bore this date. but it was discovered that the water-mark of the paper on which they were drawn was 1824. Mr. Sergeant WILDE argued in support of the rule. lie did not think the transaction touch to the credit of any of the parties concerned ; he considered, however, his cheat entitled to his dis charge. The defendant had been before discharged from arrest, and the plaintiff was the deponent in the former suit. It appearedfrom the affidavits of the defendant, and was shewn by letters from the plaintiff, that the latter admitted, on the 12th of April, he was in debted to the defendant to the amount of between 3001. and 4001. on over-due bills; and in those letters lie asked for time, and repotted to make a satisfactory arrangement. If this fraud, as the transaction of the bonds was called, had been prtc !Used upon him, he would not have made such an admiuiun as this ; he would at once have set up his client in opposition to the defendants. It had been decided by the Court, to prevent seas. tious arrests, that it would discharge all individual arrested, after such an admission, unless the plaintiff could anew that cause of action had arisen between the date of the admission and the sulise-1 quern arrest. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said, the difficulty here was, whe ther the plaintiff was acting for himself or for himself and partners. lie recollected a ease in which there was an extraordinary arrest for 10,0001., and it was referred to the Prothonotary; but to adopt a similar course in the present instance would be to appoint' the Pro thoratory to try she cause. Mr. Justice P.cae.—As it will he about six months before next November. it the defendant thinks lie hiss a good defence, probiddy he would not object to the cause being tried once. Mr. Sergeant %ViLDIC assrnted. The Loan CHIEF JEW/ICE—Then the cause shall be put at tt.e top of the paper, so as to be tried the first day of the sittings after term ; and let a rule be made out for the defendatit's dis charge, if In my judgment this should seem fit. COURT OF EXCUEQUER, TUESDAY, JUNE 6. An action had been brought by the plaintiff against the dam. dant for killing a deer ; and no trial, the Jury summoned by the logien-Sheriff, gave the plaintiff only one farthing damages. A rule had been subsequently obtained to thew cause why the inquisition should not be set wade, on the ground that the Jury --••• illegally summoned, and why the Slitriff of Worcester ought 'ry the costs of the application. 1 'AV NTON appeared to day on behalf of the Sheriff, to re- 1 .: payment of costs. He had nothing to do with the original 1.

Now, with respect to the ob. rations alluded tkt in the affidavit, reflecting on the character of plaintiff, and which tad first appeared in the Iroreeder Ile. 1, the Ceder-Sberiff disclaimed all knowledge of their public-a -t; he del not communicate them to the paper in question. it i Id be better if such things were not so often admitted into the .spapers, but, in the present instance, the Sheriff and his officer 1 re totally exempt from the blame of the publication . .

The tract was dearly not consistent wkh , the justice of the case; it was therefore held to exonerate the Sheriff from the consequences of his negligence, or of that of his officers. The Courts were accustomed to look at the Act of Geo. IV. respecting juries, as one of great importance. Previous to that Act many persons used to earn their bread by sitting as jurors on writs of inquiry.

HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, TUESDAY, JUNE 6. Dr. Artwovn presided in the Court of Admiralty this day, in the absence of Lord Stowell. The Court sat but for a short time, during which only motions of course were heard, of no public interest. • INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Morinaw, Juxt 6. DREADFUL VIRITATIOL—Robert Tubb, a respeetable.look ing man, was !nerd on his petition to be discharged. The Insol vent's statement appeared to be of a satisfactory nature, but the consent of two creditor* who had not been served in due tame were necessary to his immediate discharge. While the Insolvent wee anxiously awaiting their arrival, he suddenly fell from his seat and was borne out of Court by the turnkeys and carried into an anti. room ; medical assistance was promptly procured, when it was discovered that the unfortunate man had been deprived of the use of his right side. Shortly after. Mr. Heath made an application to the Court on be. half of the Insolvent, and stated what had happened to him. The Learned Gentleman said he would call the medical gentleman who had attended him, and if the Court were satisfied from his state. ment that the unfortunate man was capable of understanding what he was about, he (Mr. Heath) hoped he might be allowed to sign his schedule, and that the discharge might Issue instanter. The Court without hesitation acceded to die request. Mr. Wm. Hughes. a surgeon, living in Newman's-row, Lin. coin's-inn-tields, stated that he had been called In to visit the in solvent, from whom he had taken a considerable quantity of blood; the patient had experienced a paralytic attack which had deprived him of the use of his right aide, and in a great degree disorganized the whole system. He hod ascertained that he was able to make a mark to his schedule with hisjeft hand, and that his intellect was not so impaired but that lie could understand the nature of the business the Court would reptire him to perform. The clerk to the insolvent a solicitor confirmed the latter part of the foregoing testimony. The insolvent having sworn to his schedule, he was removed in a coach to his own residence, Instead of being remanded to prison to await his discharge in the usual way. POLICE. MARVLEBONE OFFICE. CHARGE OF FORFERI : :::%IObe4 - 161;.;;Tnanaging clerk to an attorney, was yesterday brought up for final examination on a charge of having forged the acceptance of a Mr. Culve well to a bill of exchange. The case involves a very important point—whether a third party, at present holding the forged instrument, can be com pelled to give it up to assist tile prosecution against the prisoner. The circumstances of the charge, as detailed at former examina tions, are briefly as follows :—The prisoner had been on friendly terms with Mr. Culverwell, tailor, of Great Marylebone.street, and had some money transactions with him, until he became a de. faulter and went to the Continent, thereby fixing Mr. Culverwell for nearly 2001. upon the bail-bond. About a month or five weeks since he returned, and rusured Mr. Culverwell the whole of his de and would be liquidated in a day or two, and requested his ac ceptance at one month to a bill for lot, to pay some stamps ; how. e ice, this request was refused, and on Thursday last a clerk of the house of the Messrs. Lubbock and Company presented a bill) of 101. drawn by the prisoner, and purporting to be accepted by Mr. Culver/reit, to him for payment. Mr. Culverwell proved it to be a forgery, and sent it away, and very soon after the prisoner came 4n great agitation, and admitting that he had forged the acceptance, implored him to take it up, as by the Act he had placed himself in great jeopardy, but Mr. Culverwell gave him into custody, and made such inquiries tilat he ascertained the bill had been endorsed by a gentleman na.ned Chappel, residing in Piccadilly. Mr. Chappel, jun. admitted, upon being asked that he had given value for it, but upon learning that it was protested as a forgery, at the bankers, he paid the 10/., and took it up, but upon appearing be. fore the Magistrates, positively refused to produce it, declaring he could not by any means be instrumental in taking away a man's life for such an offence. However, at the last examination, Mr. Griffith held him in his recognizance of 401. to produce the bill, and the prisoner was remanded until yesterday for that purpose. Mr. Chappel, jun. accordinglylattended, apologizing for his fa ther's absence on account of illness, and upon being asked to pro. duce the hill, said he had left it at home. Mr. On IT 11-1 told you the bill must be produced. Mr. Chappel—l don't know whether it be a forgery or not ; the bill was received by my father In an honourable way ; and to prevent its being dishonoured I paid the lilt. by my father's desire, and certainly could not be expected to lose that sum. Mr. GRIFFITII—That, Sir, is not the question. The course of justice must not be interrupted by you; therefore you must produce the bill. Ir. Chappell-1 cannot produce the bill ; I have no disposi tion to act illegally ; but as I am not the prosecutor, and as I have not given the prisoner in charge, surely I am not to lose the 101. which I have paid. Mr. ORITIITH—I have nothing to do with that, and I cannot say whether you will lose or not ; but remember, you are bound in recognizance., and will be in a very awkward predicament if you do not produce this forged document. Mr. Chappell-1 signed no recognizances, and I don't know what power you have to make me produce the bill; I am not ac quainted with the practices of this Court. Mr. ORIFFI7II-1 will not argue the question with you, but if you do not produce the bill, the recognizance you have enterei into shall certainly be estreatetl. Mr. Chappel—l have not entered into any recognizance; I signed no paper. Mr. Ourwrivit—That's of no consequence. I will remand the prisoner once more, and, as I have proof that you have the bill, if you do not produce it, you shall be proceeded against. Mr. Chappel said he certainly would consult his father before he would produce th e bill, declaring his conviction to be that the Magistrates bad no authority to compel him to produce it, as be did not know whether it was a forgery or not. The Magistrate remanded the prisoner, and advised Mr. Chap ped to produce the bill at the next examination. DREADFUL MURDER. Demme, JUNE 3.—A dreadful murder has been committed within nine miles of the metropolis. A 31r. Carroll, a gentleman of some property in this country, who resides in England, has lands in the county of Dublin. One of his farms ass for some time past overlielil by a man of the name of Byrne, against whom 3lr. Carroll was obliged to take proceedings at law. At length Byrne consented to give up the land, and a bailiff was sent down to take possession, and take care of the premises until another tenant should be procured. The unfortunate man accordingly went down, and remained for a few days in the neighbourhood, un til Byrne took away his furniture, and finally left the farm. The bailiff then took possession of the farmhouse, but the very first night that he slept there, the house was surrounded by numbers of the country people. They knocked loudly, and demanded admit tance: the wretched man, justly fearing for his safety, refused to open the door, and entreated the crowd to go away ; but the furi ous rabble became more vi o lent, and th reatene d to bunt the house to the ground, and to tear the bailiff into a thousand pieces, if in. stant admission were not obtained. They soon after succeeded in getting int.t the house. They stised the bailiff, undressed as he was, and dragged him out !Afore the door. It was in vain that he cried on his knees for mercy, little time was given for expostulation or for prayer. fle fell, almost without any resistance, under the blows of its cowardly and cruel assailants ; those blows did Lot cease until the victim ceased to breathe. The body of the miseralile sufferer was horribly treated, and was left by the murderers (a shocking spectacle), covered with blood, on the public way. No reason whatever can be assigned for this atrocious deed, save that the bailiff came down to take possession of the land which Byrne had given up. It appears, however, that Byrne and I- his wife have been examined before a Magistrate, and no cause of suspicion attaching to them, t!tey have been already discharged. Not many years ago another murder was committed, pretty nearly under the sante circumstance, on those lands. A number of persons were tried for that murder, and five of them were banged. HONDURAS COMPANy.—A Meeting of the Shareholders in this Company took place at lla•son's Coffee-house. The meet. ing consisted principally of merchants, and the exposure which took !dice caused a great deal of p.in, as well as a great des' of eurin.i,y. William Clark, Esq. was in the chair. it was stated that this was a bubble which had lately burst, the Directors offer ing to return two guineas per Share, on which Ere pounds had been paid. The condition of the Shareholders was this :_Of 45,3901. subscribed, 374221. 14a. dd. had been expended, and become a total loss, leaving a balance of 0,9671. ss. lid. to be divided amongst the poor, disappointed, and deluded Shareholders, If they were such fools as to submit to the imposition. It, however, depended upon the Shareholders themselves, whether or not they would sub mit to a loss of 21. 101. per Share, upon Shareson which they had paid deposits of 51. each. The Meeting, after a conversation, in which the conduct of the Directors was severely animadverted upon, resolved to reject the offer, and to claim the whole of their deposits. BRANCH BANE IN GLOUCESTSR.—The Board of Di rectors of the Bank of England are still occupied In making ar rangements for the establishment of this institution ; and we believe we are correct in stating that the management of the bask in this city will, most probably, be confided so a gentleman =el ro• in petty, a hose experience conducting the widely-ex main of a highly-respectable firm in this county eminently quillas him for the situation ; but until the proceedings are cnmpktad, we deem it premz:ture In name the party. A paragraph in the last Glourea kr Heald presumes that the management of the above establish ment would devolve on Mr. Thomas Turner. We have the autho rity of that gentleman to state, that he has not received any intima tion by which he could be prepared to warrant our introduction of a similar opinion ; and that this announcement was wade without his knowledge or sanctioa.—Gloricakr thiorogoi, THE BRITISH PRESS.

SECOND-CLASS SUITS. Comprising all ships, which, being from age no longer entitled to the first class, ,shall on survey. be found from sound constitution, or efilcient repairs, in every respect competent to the conveyance of dry cargoes to and from all parts of the world. For the purpose of aveertaining the competency of ships for this class, a carefill survey annually, or on return from every foreign voyage, to be required. All the original iron in and out bolts to be renewed, at the farthest, within five years after the ship has lost the first character: the bottom of every ship of this class, to be caulked at least once in every five years, except wood-sheathed ships, which should be caulked once in every six years ; sod at the time when the ship is in dock for this purpose, or once at least, during the above period, a epeeist survey to be held by appointment of the presiding Committee, at which the owner should be required to drive out a few bolts and tree-nails for examination, in such parts as may be pointed out by the surveyors, and permit, for the same purpose, the timber to be bored, the plank carefully examined, and every part of the ship, inside and out, to be so cleared, as to allow of such inspection as may be demanded. After this survey, the ship to be continued five years longer In this class, but to be surveyed by the regular surveyors, voyage by voyage, and her condition reported to the presiding Committee. Subject to such periodical inspection, ships to remain in this class so long as their state and condition shall continue to entitle them thereto.

If, during the period tor which a ship may have had the first elms assigned to her, she shall prove to have the dry rot, be broken, or have other premature or serious decay, injury, or weakness, so as (in the opinion of surveyors to he specially nominated by the Committee) to endanger her navigation, or the safe conveyance of her ergo, sorb ship to forfeit her rank, and be placed in a class corresponding with her actual condition ; unless the owner shall, upon notice ( which it shall be obligatory upon the surveyors pre viously to give him In writing) effectually repair such ship, to the satisfaction of the surveyors so specially delegated by the Com mittee. RESTORATION OF SHIPS TO THE FIRST-CLASS. If within live years after the expiration of the period for which it is proposed that ships should stand in the first class, on owner should make application to the presiding Committee, for the re storation of his ship to the privileges of that class, he should be re quired to tale down the wales and topsides, with all the in and out bolts; to take up a Rieke on each aide, and one in the middle of each deck ; drive out all the tree-nails above the light-water mark, and some below it ; take out two strikes of plank outside the bot tom, and two striae* inside, at such parts as may be pointed out by the Surveyors, and in that state submit the ship to the special survey of persons to be appointed by the presiding Committee; and if the owner should then consent to take out all planks, beams, timbers, and fastenings that may, on such survey, be objected to, and replace them with materials of the same species, or of equal quality, as those of which the ship was originally composed, such ship to be entitled to restoration to the first class; if a ship of the first description, for eight years ; if of the second, for six years; and if of the third, for four years. ANCHORS, ZARLES, AND STORES. In order to be considered properly found, your Committee, from reference to various nautical and competent persons, beg to recom mend, that all shins should be provided with at least two, and if bound to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope, or westward of Cape Horn, with three cables of approved quality and length, either of iron, hemp, or both, and with the same number of anchors of proper weight; and that the masts and standing rigging should be In good order, and the sails in sufficient number and proper condi tion. In the suggestions thus submitted for the establishment of an emended system ofclassiflcation, your Committee have endeavoured to follow, u closely as possible, the general bearing of the evidence laid before them. In the constitution of the Committee to which they propose to assign its practical superintendence, It has been their object to pro vide for the fair and equal representation therein, of all parties im mediately interested. On the extent of authority which it might be consistent or pm. dent to delegate to Local Committees, your Committee have ven tured no definite proposition, conceiving it a subject which would be more appropriately considered, when the question of the adop tion of the general system shall be decided :—Your Committee, however, do not hesitate to express their conviction, that it should be such as to insure a cordial co-operation on the part of persons interested in the subject, resident at the out-ports ; but at the same time be so limited, as by no means to interfere with that steady uni. fortuity of system, on which the efficacy of any amendment must entirely depend. In assigning the stations and numbers of Surveyors, it has been the object of your Committee to regulate them, according to the magnitude of the duty required, by the relative importance of the ports placed tinder their supervision ; and to fix the limits of their districts, with reference to the distance to which it might be practi cable for their attention to be efficiently extended. In the determination of the Scale of Salaries which they have.rc commended, your Committee have been anxiously solicitous to steer a just course between imprudent expenditure end iii.j udged parsimony. To those ports in which, from the number of ships usually constructed in, or resorting to them, the duties will be ar duous, the responsibility heavy, and the consequences of incapacity, negligence, or want of principle, seriously' detrimental, they have assigned such salaries as they consider will admit of the engage ment of Surveyors of competent professional knowledge; to insure the efficient discharge of duty, and of respectability of character, io warrant confidence in their integrity.—ln some, they have been influenced by the extent of the district confided to them, and the expense consequent on travelling from place to place within it; while, in others, they have propo r tion e d th e sum to t h e sma ll ex tent f ;the service required, the facility for its performance, the little responsibility involved in it, or the cheapness of living In the district in which it is comprehended. But, in the scale of re muneration recommended, it is extremely possible that, should the system be adopted, more extended information as to the circum stances on which its amount ,should Ibe dependent, may sliew the necessity for some alterations, as it is not a point on which the evi dence affords data for universal conclusion. Your Committee, however, cannot forbear urging, In the most forcible manner, that whatever be the salary attached to the situa tion of surveyor, particularly in the principal ports, it should be sufficient to insure the ',trim of men of intelligence, activity, firmness, and integrity. It is, they must again repeat, to the absence of regular and constant professional supervision by properly selected persons, that the abuse, and evils of existing system have been principally traced : It Is on the universal and inflexible application of a vigilant system of survey, that the practical efficacy of the plans suggested by your Committee must be mainly depen dent • and it is obvious, that without such a p rov i s i on , no reliance can be placed on the beneficial operation of any project, however theoretically judicious, ot desirable. In the ultimate decision, therefore, of this branch of die question, they feel firmly persuaded , that while the adoption ofsi principle of cautious liberality will be found to embrace the soundest policy, it will at the same time not be inconsistent with real economy. Your Committee WC now brought to that part of their proposi tions in which specific suggestions are offered for the future regula. lion of classification. The unavoidable length to which this Re port has already been extended, forbids any elaborate exposition of the reasons on which, in the detail o f thei r r e c o mm en d at i ons , t h ey have felt warranted in the cordial auoption of the sentiments con veyed in the evidence, no a subject peculiarly open to conflicting optnion. On such a subjett, absolute uniformity was not to be ex pected ; but the striking concurrence in general principle, exhibited throughout the testimony adduced to them, while it has been a source of great satisfactio• se your Committee, has limited this branch of their labours to the task of modifying, arranging, and digesting the valuable opinions with which they have been fa voured, Into the systematic form in which they have herein pre sentedthem._ In the performance of this task, year Committee have been anxious, as far as was consistent with the maintenance of the great principle of assigning character according to intrinsic merit, to avoid such minute detail as would unnecessarily invade the right of pd_ sate opinion, or cramp t h e f ah exercise of discretion on the part of the shipbuilder or shipowner. They have forborne, therefore, to offer any recommendation of specific made of construction, or male of scantlings, not from any question of thsabetract propriety of the suggestions on that subject, tendered to dismin evidence, but from a conviction, that the practical inconvenience and injustice it might produce, would more than eounterbekele any advantage to be ex pected from it • they have confined the definitions to those points which they have considered to be a( 'sniversally-xtimitted im. portance In the determinshe of quality ; exacting from shi p s claiming the higher privileges of more rigid con. formity with spends ressilatiesa, big pester latitude for opinion In descending die coy, h tlitibiest class of new ships they conceive they hav e niece!, seggeeleil whit mutt be indisPee sable to every ship claitnint aniajfeengrying a dry cargo to and from all parts of the worid.t Throughout their recomninsdittlesk fide, your Committee have been anxious, as far as teal elMlllNlybe admitted, to effect as little change as possible is hoes role of a kilning system which have not appeared at mhos* ma th I jurist principle they have anicarourcd undeviating,/ if saajawa l Whh fhb view they Ism preferred the Meadow of the characters now In use, as designating quality, to the ad ion of the ingenious suggestions for their alte radon which have been submitted to them_; following the existing mode, of retaining one letter for all First-Class Ships, and varying the period of continuance on that letter, according to their respec tive qualities. On the came principle, they have at ouce adopted the avowed intentions of the existing books, as to the number of years during which the First Class should be continued to ships of I different description ; the improvement consisting in defining the actual circumstances which really constitute difference of quality, and insisting on the facts being ascertained by the personal inspee tion of surveyors, instead of the present molt fallacious and unjust plan , of assuming that difference as the necessary result of con. 'Unction in different ports. With respect to Indian-built ships, the evidence furnishing very few data on which a general recommendation could have been safely offered, your Committee have abstained from proposing any specific rule; a course which appeared the more prudent, from the consideration, that (while, under the operation of a vigilant system of survey, no serious inconvenience could be apprehended, or un fairness complained of ) materials for opinion might be collected, under an amended system of classification, which would In a short time admit of the formation of regulations generally and safely applicable. The same reasoning will apply to Foreign Ships, regarding which your Committee are precluded, by an entire absence of evi dence, from offering any opinion : they can only therefore suggest, that they should not be classed by letter, till some general principle can be laid down on which their character may be justly assigned; and merely propose that in the Interim the Register should record the age, port of b os uilding, and as many facts as to quality as can be accurately ascertained and conveniently defined. In recommending the adoption of the principle of re-admission to the advantages of the First Class, in cases of extensive and effi cient repair, your Committee feel they have only given expression to a conviction of the propriety of such a regulation, more general ' than is felt on any other branch of the subject. The evidence in its favour is Indeed equally decided and unanimous ; its abstract jus tice is undeniable; its general policy obvious: and while the almost universal demand for such an alteration bears testimony to the injustice of matting this justly-founded claim of the ship. owners, your Committee anticipate with confidence, that the sanc tion now given to it by the evidence will remove the mistaken scruples which have hitherto prevented its adoption ; and that, on the ground of its evident tendency to promote the construction of good and durable ships, and to discourage the building of those of inferior and discreditable quality, this ;min of their recommendation will, on broad, and even national grounds, be secure of cordial and general concurrence. In the consideration of the subject of Second-Class Ships, which comprise the largest portion of the existing tonnage of the country, the objects of your Committee have been to elevate the character of such ships to the standard actually described In their definition under the existing system, by guarding against the fraud and de. ception proved in the evidence to have been so strikingly and extensively prevalent with respect to them, and to secure, to the fair Shipowner, the benefit of a just discrimination of character, with the consequent advantages of estimation and employment, between ships kept in a proper and efficient state of repair and equipment, and those which are suffered to lapse into decay and insufficiency, for want of the requisite expenditure to maintain them in proper condition. It is by means of competition, unfairly supported by such dangerous neglect, that freights have been fre quently ruinously depressed, while valuable property and invalu able lives have been, in consequence, exposed to hazard and de struction. For the termination of such a system, the principal reliance of the Committee is placed on the adoption of a regular system of vigilant inspection ; but to facilitate its application, they have suggested some general rules, founded on the evidence, whico they conceive to be at once adapted to the attainment of the object, arid indispensable to the maintenance of the general character of British shipping. For ships of the Third Class, your Committee propose to depend entirely on survey, requiring no other standard than one which policy, duty, and humanity, alike dictate, n ame ly, th a t th e y sh ou ld be in a state to be navigated with safety. [To be continued.] IMPERIAL BRAZILIAN MINING ASSOCIATION. Yesterday a Meeting of the Proprietary of this Company was held at the London Tavern, Ilishopsgate-street, JOSHUA WALKER, Esq. in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said that the Meeting was summoned by a le. quisition which was signed by 10 Shareholders, calling on the Di rectors to declare confiscated 500 shares, upon which the call due on the 2d of February had not been paid. The CHAIRMAN read several extracts from letters, which stated that their Secretary, after much trouble, concluded for the purchase of that rich and valuable Gongoska Miue, chiefs was considered ' to possess the finest ore in the world, and that, having obtained the legal right, he also possessed the recognition of that right by the Imperial Government; and that on the 23d of January last he took possession of the mines, with all the solemnity whichlthe importance of the acquisition demanded, and the legality required • and he hoped that in September returns would be made from it. The cor respondence further stated that the Secretary had gone to the Com pany's estate, Antonio Penaro, upon which was a most valuable mine—equally valuable, if not more, than that at Gongoska ; end that he had nearly completed all the arrangements for the working of those mines ; that the friendliest disposition was manifested on the part of the Government and the Local Authorities, to assist the operations of the Company in every way possible calculated to pro mote its interests ; so that tradespeople of every description had come to reside in the vicinity of the mines, and that all necessary implements for mining had been made from the timber of their estate ; concluded with the strongest assurances from the Secretary, of the success which was likely to attend the operations of the Company. The CHAIRMAN then said he should now proceed to the busi ness for which the Meeting had been convened, and he was happy to inform them that out of the 400 shares upon which deposits had not been paid, only 201 remained in arrears ; it now remained with the Meeting to do that which they were of opinion the circum stances of the case required. He concluded by saying he should be happy to hear any proposition which any Gentleman tl.oughl proper to make. Mr. IVALKEII then said, as he was one of those who had signed the requisition, he begged to observe, that he did so from an equi table orinciple; that as the 'concern had every prospect of turning out a lucrative one, it would not be just that those Shareholders who had not paid their calls should have an equal benefit with dime who had. Ile then moved a Resolution to the effect that the shares those on which the call was due on the 2d of February last, was not paid on or before the 30th day of June instant, the Director, should declare conficated. After some desultory observations made by Mr. Denman and others, as to the propriety of declariny confscate•l the shares of the defaul!ers, the Resolution passed, substituting the word forfeiture for confiscation; after which the Meeting broke up. ANGLO-CHILIAN MINING COMPANY. Yesterday a Meeting of the Shareholders was held at the London Tavern. 111 r. R. RAIKES took the Chair. Mr. ABBOT, the Secretary, read Inc Report, which reptesented the prospects in South America to be highly promising. They had obtained three valuable copper mines at a trifling expense. The course adopted had hitherto been to make purchases of the ore raised by the natives, and to depend upon superior British skill in smelting and refining, to realize a considerable profit. The Direc. tors were sorry to find a disposition to abandon the concern, which they considered was of the highest promise. The last call of 3/. per share had only been paid on 6,336 shares, leaving 8,664 shares liable to be forfeited. The Directors begged to mute, that they held 3,324 out of the 13,000 shares of which the Company was contd. tuted, and had therefore a sufficient stake to render them truly at. tentive to its interests. The deposits received amounted to 73,930/. The disbursements fee the Chilino Establishment amounted to 39,9311. There were other disbursements here, making on the whole about 50,000/. Their Commissioner, Mr. Caldclough, had drawn bills upon the Company to the amount of upwards of 44,0001. without sending them advice as to the nature of the trans actions. These bills would be presented for acceptance on the 13th of this month, and it was for 'he interest of the Company that they should not be dishonoured. They recommended the immediate payment of the call, in order to enable them to provide for the bills. Mr. A roircimet addressed the Meeting to caution them how they proceeded without a clear understanding of all their affairs. Ale. PELLY, one of the Directors, expatiated on the advantageous nature of the Company's prospects. Only 10,0001. had been ex. pended in actual outfits. The Company had been economically conducted, and he recommended the payment of the drafts upon them. It was here stated by the CHAIRMAN, that they had received advice' of a shipment of copper ore of the value of '20,0001., and of silver ore to the value of 35,000/., which was expected to arrive shortly. Mr. Locx, one of the Directors, said he believed this to be the best Company that had been brought out. They had sunk scarcely any money on the spot, and there must he proceeds. Mr. FIiZeIiFIELD spoke in favour of allowing the Shareholders to pay up their calls, and ultimately a Resolution was adopted, recommending the Directors to receive the deposits. The Report was adopted, and after thanks had been voted to the Chairman and Directors, the Meeting separated. The late Lord Ingeatrie had been travelling ou the Con tinent for nearly two years, and was, at the time when be met the lamentable accident which terminated his ezirence, riding on horseback in what is called the Park, in the neighbourhood of Vienna. Passing under a tree, his Lordship's hat ass caught by a bough, and falling on the spirited animal which carried him, terri fied the creature so much, as to cause him to start off at full speed : nor did he stop until he had plunged himself and his Noble ridtr Into% pit or quagmire, in which they were both suffocated! 11 s Lordship was in the 24th year of his age. In the vicinity of Blair Adam, a few days since, as one of the female servants, in leaving the house, was passing some of her former fellow -servants, who were at that time occupied in hew ing a very large boiler, one of the men, in sport, took her up in hie arms, and facetiously mid, that as she was no w fli tt i ng , and this might be the last time they might all meet, be would " give her • dip In the boiler." A struggle ensued, they lost their balance, and, horrible to relate, were plunged into the vessel, which at that moment was nearly full of boiling water. The injury sustained was such, that the man died the same evening, and the woman es plea nett morning in the Most excruciating %Wm—. File HIGH NVATER TMI DAY AT LONDON BRIDGE.

CARLTON, No. UN 4lriuk4 sod published by ON t RIO* THE LATE MURDER AT WINTOA: [Additional , from the Masehertew Casette.] At two o'clock in parti th cul e afternoon ars of Tuesday, Mr. Lavender lee off in the coach to Appleby, accompanied by R. J. J. !Coneys, Esq., of Davy Ilulme Hall, Mr. Foulkes, the attorney a l e the township in which the murder was commkted, John Cheadle, th e constable of that township, and Mr. his. Blasts, the landlord of the Jolly Carter, the public-house where the hoteid deed wee p ee . petrated. On their arrival at Appleby, at twelve o'clock oa th e following da y (Wednesday), they found flit Philip M usgrave, ev. Atkinson, Esq., and other Magistrates, is waiting for th em et the King's Head Inn, who received them with all the rout es which is peculiar to real gentlemen, and invited them to partake o y f the refreshments which had been prepared for them. They t e m proceeded to the Court-house, and it was arranged that the :Ms yt • crates should take their seats, and the prisoners their station 11l the bar, before the introduction of Mr. Blare. Now we should ne t omit to notice, that on the prisoner's first examinatirm before Sir Philip and his brother Magistrates, Alexander Al'Kean roundly asserted that he was not " the man ;" that he was a b ove ao eeaie of age ; that his name was Matthew Kirk, a n d t h at bis fne* traveller would answer to his name when called upon, eli ded M`Kean said his name was James Keerson, and be was tepe es , of the charge of murder. Their deportment was comparatively firm and composed, eat during the preceding day and night they had been app a , e „„ le cheerful. AD. Blears was called into the room, and the toonui t they east their eyes upon him their firmness and composure entirely forsook them ; both appeared dismayed; Michael trembled exees, sively, and with difficulty supported himself, arid Alexander sto o d as if petrified. Neither spoke a word. Poor Blears was visibly agitated, and on being asked if he knew them, he shook his head and said, " Most certainly I do ; they are the men who sat in the bar with me on t he night of the murder; " and, p o i nt i ng tossed, Michael, said, that gentleman has got his whiskers shaved! , The necessary depositions being taken, the Coroner's 'anent was endorsed by the Magistrates, previously to i ts b e i ng pat into execution in that county (Westmorland), and the prisoners were delivered into the charge of John Cheadle, the constable o f th e township of liarton-upon-Irwell, and, being placed in a clui ee , they set out with their conductors on their road to Lancset ee , IVhen they had proceeded some distance they were asked it they wanted anything to eat, when they expressed a great desire to have somethirg. Accordingly, when they arrived at Kirby Stephen, a shilling's worth of bread and meat was placed before them, which they ate with an appetite approaching to voraciousness, declaring they had eaten nothing that day but a penny loaf. They afterward s drank a pint of ale each, which appeared to have a considerable share in rendering them more cheerful and composed. They re. quested Mr. Lavender to send their clothes to Lancaster ; to deliver their books to Mr. Hancock (the young surgeon, we presume, who lodged with them), who we their bondsman to the amount date or 1001., and to give Alexander's goods to their mother. In their route through Kirby Stephen, Sedburgh, and Kirby Loasdale, the expression of popular indignation wu very strong; ;i f people exclaiming, " the murdering thieves, there they are !" At Lancaster, however, the ebullition of public indignation was violent in the extreme. Long before the arrival of the coach, the roads through which it had to pant down to the Market-place, and along to the Castle, were lined with the indignant multitude, and when :t made its appearance, the au was filled with hooting and hissing, and maledictions agaitat th e --- murderers," as they were termed. The coach stopped at bliss Nunne's, in the ill y re and there the pri, soners alighted, and walked thence to the Castle, aceompanied by J Mr. I,avetider, the constable of Barton, R. J. J . Norreys, Mr. Foulkes, and Mr. Blears. The populace now began to be quite outrageous ; the hooting and hissing became louder sod louder, and at length they closed in upon the prisoners, and would have torn them to pieces, but for the interference of their conductors, The coolness and intrepidity displayed on this occasion by Mr, Lavender and 11r. Norreys were admirable. At one morneet they feared that all their endeavours would be unavailing to preserve the wretched men from the indignant fury of the people. 31r. Norreys went in front, and manfully cleared the way with hit stick, whilst the trembling culprits clung to Mr. Laveodw like children, for succour and protection..--" iVhat would you have exclaimed Mr. lavender to the crowd ; " are not the men herein safe custody, and will not justice have its mum with them? Would you commit a deed for which these unhappy men must ray likely pay the forfeit of their lives?" This appeal bad its effect with those who heard it, but ahem, who did not, still pressed forward so much, that Mr. Lavender wee obliged to use the only means in his power to repel their encroach. mends, and he therefore laid about him lustily with his s t i c k, an d in the heat of this somewh at solid argument, lie unfortunately broke the head of the poor constable of Barton, who had beta forced amongst the crowd. At length, by dint of great exer tions, the prisoners were safely lodged in the Castle, and sp. peered literally thankful, inasmuch as they had narrowly escaped a worse death than h ang i ng , Th ey, h owever, were dreadfully dejected, and hung down their heads in the deepest despondency, whilst their pale and haggard looks told a horrible tale of what was pawing within, On reaching their apartment, they imme. diately asked for Bibles, as if the very sight of the precious vc. lume could relieve the dreadful anguish they endured. When the officer came to knock off their chains, soon after their arrival, which took place at half.past ten o'clock, they were bob inten ly poring over the Scriptures, apparently unconscious of what was passing around them. Some one asked " which is Alexander ?" when Alexander, looking up, meekly replied, "I am he." Both of them preserved the strictest silence; in fact, they appeared as if they fancied the very sound of their voices would call down curses upon them. The clothes they were taken in, and which they then wore, as far as could bejudged, were those in whi c h t h ey comm i tte d the bloody deed ; but they had esidently been welshed. 'Wheu they were first taken, they were in the most distressed state imaginable; the soles of their shoes were completely worn off, and their feet were covered with blisters--they were nearly famish. log, and they had not a penny in their pockets. They told Mr. lAventler they were Scatchmen, and not Irish, nor of Irish parents. They said their father, who had been dead 16 years, was a Galloway man, and that their mother was born in Dumfries—that they had two brothers, William and John, older than themselves, and also a sister—that William lived in the town of Urr, eight or nine miles from Dualities, and John in Stafford shire. They said, too, that they left Manchester on Thursday night; so that immediately after the commission of the murder they must have set off to :Manchester, and secreted themselves in ' the house of Elizabeth hl`Connell, in Collier-street, Salford—e woman with whom Michael used to live, and by whom she had re cently a child. The abode of this woman, which was anxiously sought for by the police-officers, was discovered through the unre mitting exertions of Mr. Foulkes and Mr. Noreen and on Mon ' day last she was taken to the New Bailey, and now remains there in the hospital ; but she will be liberated when she desires it. It appears that they made their escape from !Manchester to a piece between Colne and Settle, over the Fells, to Briefness, and thence to Kirby-Stephen. They must have been in some place of concealment, on the first part of their journey, during the day, and then, like wolves, prowled forth in the night. IV hen they were taken co Appleby gaol, they were kept in separate cells, until Tuesday, and soon after they got together they quarrelled and fought—but what was the ground of their dispute we are otily left to guess. After they had seen 31r. Blears they maintained a strict silence, and said nothing as to their guilt or innocence. We understand that PCVeral young women have fallen victims to the seducing arts of Alexander, and that he was shortly to bare been married to Mies Hancock, the sister of the young surgeon of that name who lodged in his house. The Whitcharen Paper gives a few further particulars respecting the elopement of Miss lv—y-11, of the isle of Man, with Lieutenant and Adjutant Ed grants, of the 80th POOL The lady's papa, it seems. was very hostile to the union, and had spared no pains to prevent the elopement, yet, notwithstanding his yips lance, the son of Mars out-manceuvred him, and having obtsined the attire of a Manx peasant, he completely metamorphosed his in tended bride, at a cottage near the shore, and succeeded in getting her safe on board an open boat, in which, after encountering a stormy breeze, they landed at Flesaick, near Wnitehaven, very much fatigued with the passage. After they bad partaken of some refreshment, at Mr. Cragg's, at Tarnflat, they were conveyed to the Black Lion Inn, at Whitehaven, where they dined, and suitable apparel for the lady having been procured, they Immediately set off for Annan.
