After the committal of Thomas Birmingham for the wilful murder of Sarah Waite, at Kensington, Taunton, one of the principal officers of Bow-street, received instructions to investigate the matter, with a view to furnish evidence, if such could he pro cured, to elucidate the case. Accordingly, that ac tive and intelligent officer stated to Sir H. BIRNIE yesterday, that he had obtained evidence which he conceived would prove important at the trial of the prisoner. Mrs. Gifford, wife to Serjeant-Major Gifford, of the Ist Royal Dragoons,• then stated that she had no knowledge of the deceased, never having seen her, but she was well acquainted with the young man Thomas Birmingham, now confined in New gate upon a charge of murder. Sir R. BIRNIE—Did you ever see him wear a pin in his shirt ? The witness replied in the affir mative, and added that if she saw the pin she might possibly know it. Sir R. BIRNIE—Was it a plain gold pin, or had it a stone set in it ? Witness—l really cannot say. Birmingham was in the habit of wearing different pins in his shirt. It is now fourteen months since I ' was in the habit of seeing him often. Colonel BIRD, a county magistrate , --llaving seen , the young man wear pins, can you not say whether the colour of any of them was red or white, black or blue ? Witness—l cannot say ; I never took sufficient notice. Mr. STIRLING suggested that the pin ought not to be produced unless some witness could previously describe it. The Magistrates agreed in the suggestion, and declined examining the witness any further upon the point. Sergeant-Major Gifford was husband to the last witness, and knew Birmingham. He was servant to Lieutenant Ives, and came from Ireland with witness about two years ago. Witness had seen him wear different pins in the breast of his shirt. The last time he saw Birmingham was about a month ago. John t 'Harding, sergeant in the 15th Hussars, knew the prisoner Birmingham; had been examined at the Coroner's Inquest, and never saw Birming ham with any pin resembling that which was pro duced on that occasion. Taunton stated that the young woman, Susan Bennet, who deposed before the Coroner that she lay with Birmingham on the night of the murder, had made a false statement with respect to the place where she said she was at the time living. He (Taunton) had been to the house, but the persons there knew nothing of her. She also stated that Birmingham was in bed with her from half-past eleven o'clock on the night of the murder, until five the following morning, when she left the barracks. This statement she now denied. Mr. STIRLING observed that the jury did not deem her testimony worthy of the slightest credit. John Waller, one of the turnkeys of the New Prison, Clerkenwell, deposed to the fact of his having been at the Holland arms, Kensington, at the time the inquest was holding, but he was not examined as a witness. He heard the girl, Susan Bennett, declare, after she came down from the jury -room, that she had not spoken the truth in giving her evidence before the Coroner. She said that Birmingham took her over the wall of the bar racks about half-past eleven o'clock on the night of the murder, and That he afterwards left her, and did net return again until five in the morning. Wit ness asked her if' Birmingham had carried a knife with him, and she replied that he took a knife from off a table in the room as he was going out. Wit ness asked her if that knife was the same produced to her by the Coroner, upon which she exclaimed. " Oh ! for God's sake ask me no questions about any knife." She appeared very much agitated and confused when this exclamation had escaped from her. Witness then asked her if any person had promised to give her money if she got Birmingham off, and she replied that such an offer had been made to her by two persons, whom, however, she did not name. Sir R. BIRNIE expressed a desire to see Susan Bennett, if she were in attendance. The girl was here introduced, and Waller was told by the Magistrates to repeat the evidence which he had just given. Sir R. BIRNIE—Now, young woman, having heard what this person has stated, is it true or false ? Witness—lt is perfectly true, Sir. Sir R. BIRNIE—Why, then, did you not state all that you knew to the Coroner's Jury ? Witness—. I stated something of what I knew, but not all. Mr. STIRLING—Did you not state before me, that you did not sleep a wink during the time you lay with Birmingham ? Witness—l believe I said so, Sir, but I was confused at the time. The truth is, that I did sleep, and did not miss him from the bed, nor did 1 know that he was absent. _ - _ Sr R. BIRNIE—Do you know any thing respect ing a pin ? Witness, (quickly)—No, nothing. Sir R. BIRNIE—You seem very ready to answer my question, young woman. Now say truly, did you, or did you not, sleep while vou were in Bir mingham's bed ? Witness—l did . sleep, Sir, and upon my awaking at five o'clock, I found him in bed with me. Sir R. BIRNIE—Did he undress himself on going into bed ? Witness—He did ; and he was un dressed when I awoke. Mr. STIRLING suggested the propriety of putting an end to the inquiry then. Perhaps the magi strates were not aware that the matter was under going a strict inquiry before Mr. Hall, of Kensing ton, who was preparing a case on the subject em- bracing all the evidence. A witness, named Lee, who overheard the con versation between Waller and Susan Bennett, cor roborated the evidence of Waller, and added, that the girl said it was Birmingham's master who had promised to reward her if she got the young man off. Mr. STIRLING asked the girl if she had ever seen the prisoner's master'? Witness—l have seen him, Sir; I was fetched to him from the place I was lying its the Park the morning after I was examined. Mr. STIRLING—Who fetched you ? Witness — The sergeant fetched me ; he who gave evidence at the Holland Arms. Mr. STIRLING—Anti did the prisoner's master say he would do any thing for you ? Witness—He did, Sir; he said he would reward me handsomely, if I got the young man off. Mr. STIRLING—At what hour did this inter view take place ?—Witness : Between four and five in the morning. Mr. Stirling appeared to doubt this, but the wit ness protested it was true. Sir R. BIRNIE observed, that this part of the case was certainly not a little extraordinary. It would be useless, however, to proceed with the inquiry any further at that time. The depositions which were taken were then signed by the witnesses. Sir R. BIRNIE admonished Bennett, the watch house keeper, to be careful that the girl did not con trive to escape from custody. The parties then withdrew, and in about ten mi• nutes after Taunton and Bennett returned to inform the Magistrate that the girl had just disclosed some thing of very great importance. Sir R. BIRNIE ordered it to be reduced to writing. Bennett, the wateh-house-keeper, then deposed, that having taken the witness, Susan Bennett, to the Grapes public-house, in Bow-street, to procure refreshment, she there burst into tears, and declared that after Birmingham had been in bed with her a short time, he got up and dressed himself in his fustian stable dress. As he left the room he put on his cap, and took up a knife which INA been lying on the table. He then left the room, and she saw no more of him until five o'clock in the morning, when he returned. She then asked him if she should get up ; but he said, " No ; lie still until six o'clock." Taunton observed, that it was deposed by a wit ness before the Coroner, that Birmingham and the deceased had appointed to meet on the night of the murder, in order to return the pin. Sir 11..BIRNIE said, that the confessions of the girl were very important, and he again repeated his caution with respect to her safe custody. MLLE. GARNERIN AND THE HAM- BURGH RIFLE CORPS. MAMBURGU, MAY 22. Turkish politics and the Catholic Question are forgotten here ; nobody has time to think or talk of any thing b u t the gallantry of the above corps, the brilliancy of whose achievements, and the dazzling brightness of whose glory, throws all former achievements and glory into the shade. In serious earnest, a most disgusting piece of business occurred here on Monday afternoon, of which the good people of Ilatnturgh are sadly ashamed, and to, the pub• licity of which, through the medium of our own pipers, every possible difficulty will be thrown in the way. Miss Garnerin, the celebrated French aeronaut, an nounced, as much as two months ago, her intention of ascending in a balloon from the immediate vicinity of Hamhurgh, and descending in a parachute. The unfa vourable appearance of the weather, and the equally un favourable appearance of the subscription list, had from time to time retarded the lady's ascension, which was at last fixed for Sunday next, but is now adjourned sine die in consequence of tke event which I am ahout to relate to you. _ _ To make up in some measure for her loss of time, Miss Garnerin bad arranged a species of amphitheatre from which the ascent was to take place, and to which strangers were admitted, for the moderate remuneration of fourpence, to view the balloon and parachute, and to receive a full and particular explanation of the various paraphernalia there unto appertaining. On Monday last she was, as usually, in her locale, holding forth to her attentive auditory, less numerous than her friends could have wished, when , it SO happened, that in her immediate vicinity the Hatnburgher Riflemen, a corps supposed to consist of the sons of the better classes of tradespeople, were going through their martial manoeuvres, with their redoubtable Major, a brewer of the name of Schroder, and a complete counterpart to our own Sturgeon, fiercely strutting in front. Now these gallant worthies having heard from their nurses, that at various times the French were beaten by their fathers and grandfathers, were all at once inflamed by a thirst for glory, and hinged for something French to flesh their maiden Swords upon. A French army, drawn up in hostile array, is a very pretty thing for an aspiring young hero to look upon, but a French army is not a thing to be had at a moment's notice, and something French it was determined should be attacked. For fault of a better antagonist, it .was resolved to take up with Mlle. Garnerin. As soon, therefore, as au interval occurred in the ma neeuvres, and the men were allowed to leave their ranks, (an arrangement by which Major Schroder was enabled to keep out of the fray,) the greater part of the heroes inarthed.up to the temporary erection of the . formidable. Frenchwoman, in order to reconnoitre the strength of the garrison, and the capability of resistance. Having satis fied themselves that the assault might be successfully at tempted, they advanced in a body, encouraging each other to support the honour of the corps, and demanded instant admittance into the sanctum sanctorum of the fair naviga tor of the upper regions. Phrenologists assert, that the same organ which makes animals, be they bipeds or quadrupeds, fond of climbing to elevated places, also inspires the passion of ambition ; it may therefore be fairly inferred that Miss Garnerin has a tolerable sh ire of the sacred fire in her veins, and you will not be surprised to learn, that she resolutely insisted upon imposing on the pretty persons of the riflemen the regular transit duty of 4d. per hero ; the green jackets of our worthies were filled with indignation at this dis honouring charge ! a smart running fire of abuse was kept up for a few minutts, by some that wished to shew off their proficiency in French ; but in the article of abuse they found the enemy more than a match fur them, more particularly as they were hammering out awkward invec tives in a 'foreign tongue, while their fair antagonist was able to fire off with such velocity and effect, that her little mouth did as much execution as if one of Perkins's patent steam-guns bad been pouring upon them, at the rate of so many hard words per second. It now became evident that it was only by coming to close quarters that the heroes of the green jacket could expect to overpower their enemy, and a general assault was accordingly given. Miss Garnerin, however, had too much of the heroine in her to yield her rights so tamely; though alone against so many assailants, she boldly placed herself in the breach, " and when the foremost of the foe came tip" she fairly snatched his sword away from him, and disabled him by a ghastly wound in the shoulder, that sent the poor devil away, howling most piteously. A momentary feeling of terror pervaded the heroic host, but to their immortal honour be it said that feeling was only momentary, they rallied, for the honour of the corps, and entered triumphantly into the stronghold of the enemy. It has, I believe, been the universal observation of all conversant with military affairs, that soldiers are at all times apt to commit excesses after a storm; upon the pre sent occasion, I am sorry to be obliged to admit the fact, the heroes of the green jackets suffered their resentment to carry them to too great a degree of severity, by which I apprehend they will be thought to have sullied the laurels they had gained by their previous gallantry ; they fell most mercilessly upon the conquered garrison, and regardless of numbers, (a whole company of heroes against one French woman,) beat the poor woman black and blue, even, I have been assured, raising a certain portion of the mystic garment, and applying sundry vigorous blows to a part, which Mademoiselle Garnerin had probably never before unveiled to so numerous a male auditory. The lady lies ill in bed, is attended by three or four medical men, and, as I before observed, her aerial flight is postponed for the prevent.' It is but justice to the Ham burgers to say, that the expression of disgust against the cowardly scoundrels is universal, and that at the same time a feeling of humiliation has been manifested at the idea of so- gross an outrage against decency having been committed by a body of men with the uniform of the city on their backs. The person principally to be blamed is Major Schroder, the commanding officer, who was a quiet spec tator of the whole scene without making a aingle effort to prevent or interrupt it. Lieutenant Doormanu (a young timber-merchant) urged the Major to call off his men, but the Major declared he would not deprive the lads of their amusement. Lieutenant Doorman sent in his resignation the same evening. What makes the matter worse, if any thing can make it worse, is, that these young men are from a class where something of a better feeling was to have been expected. Every citizen of Hamburgh, between certain ages, is obliged to be enrolled in the civic militia, and is obliged, at stated intervals, to appear with his arms and uniform, and to go through his exercise ; no stranger is admitted a citizen (and without being a citizen no man can carry on trade within the city) until he has been enrolled in the militia, and been taught his manual exercise. Now to save the patrician feelings of some of the young men who do not like to be enrolled along with the tag-rag. and-bobtail of the place, there are certain genteel corps, in which the uni form is made more expensive, in order to keep them select ; : these consist of a small body of cavalry, a company of ar tillery, and another of riflemen ; the latter are the heroes that upon the present occasion have covered themselves with such immortal glory. An Italian messenger arrived last evening at the Colonial Office with despatches from Sir FREDERICK ADAM, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles, for Sir GEORGE MURRAY; and from Sit' PULTENEY MALCOLM, the Commander of the Naval Forces in the Me diterranean, for Viscount MELVILLE. The messenger also brought desPitches for the Earl of ABERDEEN. PITT CLUB DINNER, The members of this Club dined yesterday at Merchant Tailors' Hall. It was a triennial comme moration of the birth of Mr. Pitt, and from 250 to 300 gentlemen attended. The Earl of Harewood presided, and was supported by the Earl of Eldon, Lord Skelmersdale, the Earl of Lonsdale, Lord Rolle, Lord Macdonald, Lord Encombe, Sir George Rose, Hon. Colonel Lowther, Hon. Henry Dundas, Hon. Mr. Duncombe, Sir Jacob Astley, Sir John Gibbons, Sir R. Gunning, Sir John Chetwode, Sir Charles Flower, Sir W. Kay, Sir H. Vivian, Sir E. Knatchbull, Sir Charles A. Hastings, General Peachey, M.P., Sir J. G. Cotterell, M.P., Sir Eliab Harvey, M.P., Colonel Strutt, M.P., Colonel Wood, M.P., H. B. Cooper, John Capel, H. Bankes, W. H. Cartwright, R. A. Dundas, Mat thew Bell, G. Bankes, Joseph Pitt, Thomas Archer, Esqrs., M.P., Mr. Alderman Birch, Mr. Alderman Farebrother, Sheriff Booth, &c. After dinner the health if the King was proposed by the Chairman, and drank with three times three. " God save the King." Each of the following lines of the national anthem was received with very pointed applause by a num ber of the persons present : " Confound their polities ' 'tFrustrate their knavish tricks. is 4% 4, a " May he defend our laws." The next toast was the " Duke of Clarence and the rest of the Royal Family." " Hail, Star of Brunswick." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " The Immortal Memory of the late Right Hon. William Pitt," said he abstained from entering into the history of that great man, and should only say, with respect to him, that from the tirse of his death up to the pre sent hour the country had had unceasing cause to deplore his loss.—(Hear.) The toast was received with loud and prolonged applause. Glee—" Pitt's Illustrious Name." " The Navy and Army of the United Kingdom." " Rule Britannia." _ . " The House of Brunswick, and miy they never forsake he Principles which seated them on the Throne of these Realms." . _ . Very marked cheering and waving of handker chiefs followed the announcement of this sentiment. When the applause which accompanied the toast had subsided, and the company had resumed their seats, an individual exclaimed—" One cheer more;" and the majority of persons present again rose, and repeated the expressions of their applause, appa rently much to the delight of Lord Eldon, whose face was at the moment radiant with joy. • " The King, God bless him." The CHAIRMAN rose and said, the toast he was about to propose, was one which, in consequence of peculiar circumstances, appeared to demand from the Chair some observations on the present occasion. The toast was "Protestant Ascendancy."—(Cheer ing.)—Far be it from him, under the peculiar cir cumstances in which the toast was presented to their notice, to make-any observations which might tend to call in the slightest degree for an expression of feeling on the subject which he wished to see absent from the meeting. " Protestant Ascendancy" hail been made very free use of as connected with the Pitt Club, aril had been used in a way such as he thought it never ought to have been used in rela tion to that body. What objection could any man, who favoured our established institutions, ',lave at any time to drink as a sentiment " Protestant As cendancy ?"—(Hear.)—A certain question might have been in a different state formerly. What then ? Had any argument been used to show that this was a sentiment in which we could not now agree ? Since that event, had any one discarded the senti ment in question ?—(Hear.)--But, as he said be fore, he thought the sentiment was one which had been used as it should not have been in connection with the Pitt Club. He was no advocate of a re cent measure of the Legislature ; nevertheless, that measure had now become the law of the land, and it was our bounden duty not only to obey the law, but cheerfully to obey the law—liberally to obey the law. The toast was drank with enthusiistn. The CHAIRMAN, previous to proposing the next toast, begged permission to read two letters, one from his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the other from Earl Bathurst. There were other letters from gentlemen who had been invited to dine there to day; but to them he should not allude more parti cularly—they were in the hands of the secretary. This letter was addiessed by'the Duke of Welling ton to Mr. Welch, and a copy of it was sent to him (the Chairman) by his Grace. It was to the fol lowing effect :—" I have received this morning your letter of the 19th, with a copy of the resolution of the Pitt Club, also of the 19th. I likewise received some time ago an invitation from the Club to dine with them, which I intended to comply with, if the state of public business in Parliament and other avocations would permit. I delayed sending an answer to the invitation, in order to see whether this would be the case. I received about a fort night or three weeks ago a letter signed with your name, and, as I thought, in your hand-writing, informing me that the anniversary would not be celebrated this year : that letter I cannot now find, and suppose I must have destroyed it. I stated its contents to some of my friends, but from what has since turned out it must have been a forgery. I state this as a reason for not having answered the invitation sooner. I regret that I cannot dine with the club as they desire ; his Majesty having laid his commands on me to dine with him on the same day at St. James's." It would seem the Noble Duke at first conceived there would be no meeting of the Club this year—he had only received the invitation a few days ago, and he could not dine with them because his Majesty had commanded him to attend at St. James's. One reason of his mentioning this was, to shew that the Club was of much more consequence than some persons imagined, as an individual had descended to the meanness of sending such a forged letter to the Duke of Wellington. After dwelling on the con temptibleness of the forgery, the Noble Chairman read a letter from Earl Bathurst, similar to that of the Duke of Wellington, and declining the invita tion:on the same ground. Lord Bathurst added, in his communication, that he should be always happy to attend the meetings of the Club. The Noble Chairman having stated that he read those letters because they had been sent, Rot only to the Secre tary, but to himself—other letters of a similar de scription, which were addressed to the Secretary alone, he should not read—concluded by proposing the health of his Majesty's Ministers. More than half the members in the room rose to drink the toast, which was received with mingled applause and hisses. The CIIAIRMAN said, the next toast he had .to propose was— " May the principles of Mr. Pitt always actuate the councils of Great Britain." The toast was received with much applause. " The Pilot that weathered the storm." The health of the Master, Wardens, and Merchant Tailors' Company having been drank, with a proper acknowledgment of their liberality in giving the use of their hall to the club, Mr. STYEN, the Master, returned thanks in his own name and on the part of the company. The Earl of LONSDALE, in proposing the health In proposing the next toast, the CHAIRMAN observed that it was one which it was not necessary to preface with one word in order to recommend it tnr u h z me z aoai rosero n eo g t: 30” or a nea n etn d tedumn tenhto• thanks a v oNn i waving o g stbhtl eios, there eao h ‘srv a tda, n s d ar k ane d er ncl n iri lif e eeo f tor s i to their notice.

After the enthusiasm had subsided, tl o i d w i e l no The Earl of ELDON proceeded to say it was im possible for him to express what he felt in the way of thanks to the club for the honour they had dope him. He had laboured nearly half a century in tine 51" c service • he had entered public life during_ the ' great man whose memory they were of L.- He knew Mr. Pitt as long c m a e re t e t r o now i e v tn ir o 'g th . ers H N e vi and intimately as anyttZ" gone who knew more of him ; b ut ke repeated, he say that there might not hit'Ve-.. 1 ' thought no man alive knew more of Pitt's• views than himself. The Noble Earl went on ;o say, that this club was first instituted in 1802. He had had the honour to attend it at its commence ment—he had never failed to attend the club from that day to this; and when two gentlemen did him the honour lately to apply to him, to know whether he would attend on the present occasion, the answer he gave was "Am I alive ? So certainly as I atn, I shall attend."-4(Cheering.)—The orgies of the club had been talked of,—he should not repeat what had been said on that subject,—but through evil report and good report he would continue to be found in the Pitt Club so long as he had life. He had said this before, he now repeated it. Follow ing Mr. Pitt's public career to the period of his death, he thought he might venture to say, that whatever slight be the opinions of that great man, lie would never have sought to establish his measures, except the sense of the country went along with them. When he talked of the sense of the country, he referred to it as constitutionally represented in the two Houses of Parliament, where the opinion of the country always had, and he trusted would continue to have, considerable influence. The No ble Lord, after observing that he should be always ready to inculcate obedience to the laws, went on to say, that having considered the subject again and again, he never could bring himself to charge his opinion relative to the measures he had lately op posed to the uttermost. He again repeated his con viction that Mr. Pitt's opinions, be they .what they might, would never have been carried against tine sense of the country. Differences subsisted between him and MI:: Pitt on particular questions; but they generally agreed. To disturb our establishments was now said to be the sense of the country, and the real sense of the country was denominated downright nonsense. When he became a member of this club, he considered it a great honour, be cause be knew it was a body which, with regard to Church and State, was what it ought to be. After declaring his opinion of the utility of cultivating a respect for public opinion and posthumous celebrity among public men, the Noble Lord declared that it was this principle which led him to attend the meetings of the Pitt Club hitherto, and which now induced him to pledge himself to do so as long as he lived and had the power. We heard of the principles of Mr. Pitt ; principles were words much in fashion a little time ago ; but they had now given way to a thing called expediency.—(Hear, hear.) —If any country chose to act on expediency, instead of principle, it would soon find the evil of it. It was the principles of Mr. Pitt which put :a stop to the progress of a revolution in this country, which was threatening us when it was almost a chance (and if Mr. Pitt had not been alive we should not have had that chance) whether the prin ciple of expediency, which had produced a revolu tion in another country would not have produced a revolution here.—(Cheers.) —He held office at that time, which circumstance enabled him to know what was then going on in this country and others con nected with it. God grant that the measure Jately carried into effect might not produce the conse quences he feared. Occupying a responsible situa tion in the Government of the country, it was his duty at one time to examine into the subject care fully, and form his opinion. He did so—he had done so in both Houses of Parliament : his mind was made up, and he felt obliged to act in accord ance with his feelings and belief. He had done to on a late important occasion. Ile agreed with the Noble Lord in the Chair, that it was now our duty to obey the law, but our vigilance should not be relaxed.—(Hear.) —lf he was wrong in his con duct, he still felt he had a right to claim of his country this,—that they should believe he had been convinced he vas right. After again stating that he had carefully considered the subject, the Noble Earl alluded to his having had the countenance for twenty years of men who were now against him. —(Cheers.)—He had no fear of immediate ill con-- sequences from the recent change in the Constitu tion : of remote dangers he confessed he was appre hensive. He prayed to God that that Providence which had hitherto worked out the salvation of Great Britain might still protect us. If it should be found that there existed no reason for his appre hensions,—and this could scarcely be ascertained till he had lon g left the scene of life,—if it should then be found that lie had been wrong (and he hoped it might be so), he trusted they would think this of him,—t hat he was in earnest, and pardon for the sake of his sincerity the errors of his judg ment.—(Cheers.) The health of the stewards having been drunk, Lord SKELMERsDALE returned thanks. The Earl of ELDON gave— " Prosperity and perpetuity to the Pitt Club."—(Ap- plause. ) Messrs. Taylor, Leete, Broadhurst, Terrail, Goul den, and Master Smith, amused the company during the evening with several songs and glees. When the CHAIRMAN rose to depart, attended by the company of the upper table, there were loud cries throughout the room for Si;Charles Wetheiell, and a great deal of disappointment appeared to be excited, when it was ascertained that the Learned Gentleman had departed without responding to the call. On the whole, as regarded the tone and temper of the speakers, the meeting was extremely tame—re markable for nothing but its insignificance. That it was altogether a failure, not only in reference to what might have been expected at such a crisis, but in comparison with what had been formerly effected by the Club, appeared to be the opinion of many even of its Members. The conclusion is irresistible, that the Pitt Club is becoming superannuated, in common with the majority of its members and supporters. RICHMOND-TERRACE PAROCHIALISM).— Yesterday, it being Holy Thursday, the officers of the united parishes of St. Margaret and St. John the Evange list, in Westminster, went together in procession, for the purpose of ascertaining their boundaries, when deputa tions from the blue and black and greea and grey 'oat schools attended the charity children with wands, so that, in effect, the assemblage had altogether an appearance of importance. Five years have elapsed since the parishes beat their bounds. Application had previously been ad dressed to Lord Enmity, in order to obtain his opinion with regard to the propriety of impounding (if one may so term it) Richmond-terrace. The intimation from his Lordship was not misunderstood, for, on leaving the vici nity of Palace-yard, the procession now reached Rich mond-terrace (hitherto considered to be extra-parochial), where, fortunately, the gates were not shut against their, and, one boy being first selected from every school, the parochial:authorities beat and marked the bounds.— Richmond-terrace has thus become rateable, and the ac cession of this noble pile of buildings to the parochial funds cannot fail to prove of great importance to their prosperity. • - - I. , c luswe..roa ROYAL ACAIiEIIY, 501111RSET-EIOUgE.
