The following notice of the extent and population of the different provinces which constituted the ancient republic of Poland will be read with interest at a moment when their inhabitants are making an effort to become independent of their present rulers. Gallicia, which now belongs to Austria, has an extent of 1,580 geographical miles, and a population of 4,797,243, nearly all Poles. About 2,oo9,oooprofess the United Greek religion, about the same number are Roman Catholics. There are rather more than 250,000 schismatic Greek;, 30,090. Protestants, and 283,345 Jews. The re public of which Cracow is the capital has about 21 geographical square miles, and 145,787 inhabitants. The territory and the town form a republic, under the protectorate of Austria, Russia, and Pruss!a. The Grand Duchy of Posen, which forms part of the Prep- Bien monarchy, has a superficies of 536 square geogra phic'al miles ; a population of 1,290,187, of whom 372,789 profess the Prussian Evangelical religion, and are chiefly Germans by origin and in language. There are 783,916 Roman Catholics, who are nearly all Poles. The Jews are in n mber 77,102. Prussia has also other populations Polish origin in Silesia, and eastern and wester :Prussia, from Dantzic to the frontiers of Russi a ; .but as they have been sepa rated from the oth Polish people for more than a century, it is not sup sad that they will take any part in the insurrection. The ancient provinces of Lithuania, White Russia, and Samogitia,, form the Russian Go vernments of \Vilna, Witepsk, Grodnn, Kowno, Minsk, and Mohilow. Their population is 4,978,369. These countries have for four years been suffering from scarcity of provisions, and the people are, therefore, in a state of great excitement. The nobles and a epextion of the people are Roman Catholic - the rest, who wore forruvrly of the United Greek - Church, s have now become, by choice or fcsrce, members of the Schismatic Greek Church, but a great number of the peasantry have refused to acknowledge the 'Russian bishops who were appointed to succeed their priests. There are also a few thousand Poles in the Russo-German Governments of Courland - and Livonia. Ia the Ukraine and Little Russia, viz., the G )vernments of Vo'hvnia, Kieff, Poltawa, Kurks, &c., the nobles pro • fess the Roman Catholic faith, but the people now profess the same religion as the Russians. The population of these Governments, which are of great extent, amounts to eight millions. What is called the kingdom of Poland, and which is under the authority of Gen. Paskewitch, is alio of considerable extent, and has a population of 4,769,790. Thus there are in— Gallicia Cracow 145,787 The Grand Duchy of Posen 1,290,187 Lithuania Little Russia The Kingdom of Poland Giving a total of 23,981,376 The population of Russia is 63 millions, that of Austria 37 millions, and this of Prussia 16 millions, indepen dently of the population of the different provinces of ancient Poland.

In the event of death the sum insured will be paid less the amount of premiums on credit. Should the life insured survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon , or, in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up by commencing to pay the full premium of the age as when first accepted.

The moment ; on the contrary, the English *eke planed iq exclusive possession of a portion of the Oregon they would found a colony there—a political and coin mercial centre of action S that is to say, just what the first magistrate of the Union has declared intolerable. Ccnsequently, the Oregon must wholly revert to the Union. Such appears to be the object of his efforts — the tendency of his arguments. This is what he will have, no matter at what price, without being stopped by the news communicated to his Goverment by the American Envoy in London (Mr. M•Lane), that the English Government is perfectly prepared to make war imme diately upon the United States, and to strike great blows at the first outbreak of hostilities ; and that it is impossible not to perceive that the immense maritime pre parations of Great Britain have at least an indirect relation to the chances of rupture between that power and the Ame rican Union. If such be President Polk's idea, will the American people follow it up? Every day informs us that the most eminent men are making manifestations in favour of the cause - of peace. The last arrival brought two docu ments, one by Mr. Rivers, formerly ambassador at Paris, who has long represented the state of Virginia in the Fe deral Senate with much distinction ; the other by Mr. Gal latin, an illustrious veteran, who has resumed his pen at the age of 85, and descended into the arena to implore his fellow citiZens not to precipitate themselves into the abyss that is being dug beneath their feet. The very amount of the majority that voted the resolution' of the House of Re presentatives seems of a nature to give every security. This majOrity, nevertheless, includes a considerable number of orators; who have claimed for the United States the whole of the Oregon territory, and the trAcellent paper of Mr. Gallatin appears to us to de monstrate very clearly that the single act of the de nunciation of the convention of 1827 would render the maintenance of peace extremely problematical ; and, in fact, the Moment the United States have put a period to the joint occupation, during which every permanent establishment is prohibited and impossible, they will plant their standard in all points where American citizen s are to be found, that is , every Where, They will e xecute justice, they will organise a government, they will levy customs' duties, they will per form acts of exclusive eovereignty—they will do it a thou sand times for one. They will thus reduce England to the alternative of evacuating the Oregon altogether, or making war for the maintenance of her rights in that quarter; and, eta' the vast preparations that she is making, and which Mr. Arlene bas sufficiently characterised, would England take the first part or the second? Thus, the vote of the House of Representatives is, at the bottom, an offensive one, and if it were thought that the Senate would adopt the same measure, war must be expected. We persevere in hoping That the Senate will resist the fatal impulse to which the House of Representatives has y ielded, more perhaps than it itself imagines; and all the ac t s which it has hitherto per formed confirm us in that hope."

MARC H 13, 184 G, NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Bedford, March 10. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr Baron PARKE and a spocial jury.) JOINT COULTAS V. TIMOTHY FISR FORD BOWES, CLERK. This was an action of trespass for criminal conversation with Ann, the plaintiff's wife, to which the defendant pleaied not Mr O'Malley and Mr Wells appeared for the plaintiff. The Attorney-General, who was specially • retained, appeared with Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr, Prendergast for : the rev. defendant. i n p g r 0 c o e p e e d n e e: t t l:e pleadings ad dress Air.M r. WELLS o,alAta, h E a y v t h a e n d statedury and e damages to be laid at 2,0007., to open the case on behalf of the plaintiff; whom he represented as a poor man seeking for justice and com pensation at the hands of the jury from a rich man— a man by birth, rank, and education, their own equal. Having thus introduced his client and his position to the notice of the jury, the Learned Gentleman proceeded to state that in 1816 the plaintiff married his wife, the subject of the present proceedings. Before that ti me ey had both been in the service of the defendant's family, but on their union they left the establishment. In 1820111 e wife, whose maiden name was Barnes, returned to the house as Mrs. Bowes's maid, and in 1831 the plaintiff came back. In /839 the establishment of Dr. Bowes was removed from Yorkshire to this county,• where the defendant possessed the liviqg of Barton. 'There Mrs. Bowes died, and after that event Its. Coultas, who was always known by the name of Barnes, be came cook and housekeeper, and her husband became groom and gamekeeper, to the defendant. From that time an inti macy sprung up bet Ween the plaintiff's wife and the de fendant, which would no doubt be attempted to ba justified to-day. If the defendant, who was 67, had been weak in mind and body, he might excuse such intimacy on the ground of his requiring nursing; but it would have better become a gentleman in Dr. Bowes's state of health (for lie wog a halo and hcovt- man, :111.11VItgll near 70) to check his inclinations to associate with his female servant ; and If would certainly have been mote seemly if he had selected 'a male servant for his confidence.. In 1843 the defendant took up Mrs. Coultas to London, her health being then (or bei:ig stated so to be) in a state te require the best advice of tae metropolis. Instead of being taken under the care of her husband, she was escorted thither by the defendant, her master, and there established by him in lodgings. The Learned Counsel then read a letter from the defendant, ad dressed to the plaintiff ; after which he continued his re marks as follows :--Phis letter affords the best proof that the plaintiff was kind to his wife, for it comes from the defendant himself, and it, might be asked whether it was decent and proper for a man in the defendant's position thus to play the 111175 C to another man's wife, and that man his servant ? Ought he to be climbing up into the sick room of a female servant, where rather he ought only to have appeared as the minister of religion? It was plain, how ever, that the defendant had no honest purpose in removing the plaintiff's wife to town, and his object was carried out on her return, for he then brought about a separation of man and wife. Mrs. Coultas after that visit to town abstained from sharing her husband's bed. She was then in the habit of rising at five o'clock, and taking tea at that hour to the defendant's bed-room, where she remained two hours. At. night site was constantly in his study, and there sat with her master, who, without any sympathy of mind with one so beneath him in rank and education, could yet pretend to enjoy social intercourse with her, while in. truth lie was seek ing far the communion of foul and gross lust and passion. The defendant had made professions of provision for the plain tiff and his wife, which veiled the eyes of the former for some time. Circumstances, however, arose in 1815 which could admit but of one construction, and he awoke to a conviction that lie had been dishonured by his master, He looked out for proof of his master's guilt, and resorted to the expedient of em ploying his fellow-servants to watch the guilty pair from Michaelmas to the end of November in that year. Nothing, however, was discovered on which he could act till the 29th of - November, when, ac would be proved, the persons em ployed by him detected the defendant and his wife in a situation which admitted but of one conclusion. On the fol. lowing- Monday, the discovery being made on the Saturday. the plaintiff taxed the defendant with the odious charge, and then beyond all question it would appear that a complete re volution ensuedin that house. The plaintiff left the house; in the evening he returned to remove his wife—she was gone. He asked the reverend defendant where'. she was, and he called God to witness that he did not know. Almost instantly afterwards the defendant sent his own servant, on horseback, after her, •td warn her that her hUsband was in pursuit of her. It appears that she went to the house of her sister, . who lives at Wakefield, in York shire. The plaintiff, exercising the authority of a has band, obtained from the post-office at Luton a letter from the defendant to the plaintiff's wife, and also the Pictorial Times and Peach, which the defendant seemed to regard as very fit instruments of consolation for the servant whose absconding he had declared to be most injurious to hischaracter. Having read this letter, the Learned Counsel then proceeded to com ment on it at length, Looking at these letters no doubt of the charge could be entertained, and coupled with the direct testimony which the plaintiff was about to adduce, the case would be made out bey.ord all shadow of doubt.l The Learned Gentleman then ,concluded by earnestly calling upon the jury to do their duty to the plaintiff, and the cause of truth and virtue, by awarding to him the most substan tial damages, and thus to read a lesson to persons in the situation of the reverend defendant, that they could not de part from the paths of virtue without meeting with the disgraoe and punishment at the hands .of their fellow countrymen. The following witnesses were then examined on the part of the plaintiff:— Catherine. Furness—There were only myself and Mrs. Coultas. I was - housemaid and under-cook for a year. I rose at six ; 11.11.5. Coultas got up earlier. Dr. Bowes used to take a cup of tea before he got up, as soon as Mrs. Coultas was up. She used to remain in his room from an hour and an hour and a half to two hours. Mrs. Coultas used to go into the study after tea. She would remain half an hour or an hour, or more. There is not the least doubt she was Mr. Coultas's wife. She used to bring out the doctor's-clothes for Betas td bresb. She stopped in till the doctor was un dressed, and then brefight out the clothes. I have gone into the dikte 4 reeled after he left it, to brush the grates. I went to look at Lif! heel; end I evw the impressions of two people he it. I did so because we used ti? talk of it in the kitchen. This occurred once or twice. Croii-didrifinedby the ArrOnNIT.V-GENERAL—I wished to leave because Mrs. Cotfital Was always tipsy. Ido not mean she was tipsy every other day, but she was never to sa y I sober. was didefed dot ; be gq into Dr. Bowes's bed-room the day I went there. I thoilpt 14 very strange that I was not to help, and suspected something within a week, because Mrs. Coultas was so much with the doctor. We had family prayers nidriehiee dud evening. When I went into the reem I saw two impressions —they Were on the top of the Lea, about a fed. ariaet. The bed clothes Were half turned down ; the iniffreeisione vide on the middle of the bed and on the pillows, as if two peel Ons hod been lying do the bed, Hannah Hind—l was a kitchen-maid at Die Bowes's, Coultas used to attend on the doctor, and went into his bed roone I have seen her take tea into him at six o'clock. She used to etey a long time, it quarter of an hour. Not longer. I don't think I have knoven her stay longer. She used to go into the atiedy about si* o'clock hi the evening, and stay a considerable tulle With hint. f mean an hour or two. niece was no one else with them. Cross-examined by the ArroiNEr-GromiAL—All I-know is that she took the tea up stairs, and came down within a quaftef of tiff hotel'. I have heard the doctor and Coultas talking in the study Wbeu I Went near there. I never went to listen at the study. By the Jituon—l have seen 3/ra Coultas drunk several times—the second and third times I was there. I have seen her drink in the presence of ijr. Boltes in the day-time. Henry Smith—l am a tailor, and live at Luben, My brother William lives in the service of Dr. Bowes, I believe, I went on Saturday, 24th November, with my brother to Dr. Bowes's. It was between five and six—very near six. I saw Cceiltes canning from Dr. Bowes's house. He spoke to my brother, and said " Stand still—l want you to go and look." I did not know where. Ity brother refused to go, and I went. I went up to a window in Dr. Bowes's house. I believe it to be the study window. I looked one side and could see nothing. I then looked on the left side, and east two people in the room. It was about six o'clock. I saw Mrs. Coultas—no one else—she was sitting at the fire. I remained twenty minutes or half an hour. She was sit ting on the left-hand side of the fire. I heard her say, "Of course—certainly;" and a voice said, "Do you think that Coultas suspects us now?" I saw no one. She said she did not know—she sometimes thought he did. Dr. Bowes then crossed the fire from the right-hand side of the room, and he took hold of Mrs. Coultas's hand and put it to his lips. lie said, " Never mind, I will take care of you." He seemed to raise her by the hand, and she stood up. They seemed to press against each other. His arm was round her neck, and her arm round his waist. They remained in that position for a minute or two. [The witness went on to describe circumstances which in his opinion proved that criminal intercourse had taken place ] At this moment I thought I heard my brother William speaking behind me. I then turned and saw the plaintiff and him stand ing at the corner of the coach-house. They had a gun. When I saw them they seemed to be striving with the gun. I lightly stepped towards them and held up my finger, I said, " Oh, Coultas, don't do that, for if you do, you'll get hung." My brother William said if ho did not give up the gun he would call out. I returned to the window and saw Mrs. Coultas poking the fire. Dr. Bowes took the skirt of Mrs. Coultas's gown and shook it. Site rose and smiled and he smiled at her. Half a minute after Coultas pulled me by the coat, and I rose and stepped a yard or two. I slept that night at my brother William's. I saw Coultas next evening (Sunday) in Tooley's field, at Barton. It was about six o'clock. He asked me to come again on Saturday. William Smith—l am now in the service of Dr. Bowes, as gamekeeper; I have been so for nearly five years. On the ' 29th I saw Coultas at night, with my brother. This witness then went on to corrobarate the testimony of his brother, and spoke to his having also looked into the study window, and having seen Dr. Bowes put his arm round Mrs. Coultas's neck " as if he was going to kiss her." I had watched some time before, at Coultas's desire, and have seen master kiss her several times. I can't say how often. Coultas said that night that he wanted me again on Sunday. He came and took the ladder away and - I followed him. He set it against master's bed-room window, where there was a light. I got up and looked in through the flute of a blind which was let down. I saw Mrs. Coultas conic in in her dressing-gown and socks. She undid the curtains, pulled down the bed-clothes, took off her dressing-gown and s ocks, and got into bed. Master was in bed, and rose up. • * • * She remained in bed in hour or so, and I stayed all that time on the ladder. I then saw her get out of bed and put on her dressing-gown and socks, and tuck up the clothes and kiss master, when she left the room with the candle. Next morning I saw Coultas speak to master, who said—" Good God! Coultas, I hope you will forget all that's done and past, and say no more about it." Coultas said "I can't; for what I have seen and others have seen I can't bear any longer." They were speaking again together at five o'clock very loud. Master said, " Coultas, where are you going?" He had a gun in his hand. Coultas said, "I am going to fetch back your —, that you have sent away." Master struck his hand against his heart, and said, " I take God to witness that I don't know where she has gone to." Coultas said, " It's a lie, you do know." Master said, "If I am believed, on the word of a man I do not know ; take God to be my witness." I did not hear what else they said. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Beers—l first saw master kiss Mrs. Coultas eleven or twelve months ago. When I looked through the flute of the blind the candle was on a table near the window, and the curtains were open on that aide of the bed. Dim Callao got in on that aide. PRICE SD. Mr. Baron PARKE here suggested that, as it was nearly seven o'clock, and the case could not possibly be concluded to-night, this was a fitting opportunity to break in upon the evidence; and the case was, therefore, adjourned till to-morrow. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, MARCH 11. The Royal Family leave Osborne on Friday next, much improved in health. Norris Castle, it is expected, will be occupied by either the Queen Dowager or the Duchess of Kent next summer; by the arrangements making it would rather appear to be the latter. The Earl of Yarborough, Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, is expected at the Squadron-house this evening. The numerous ya7,hts in the different building-yards here are proceeding with all possible dispatch. The Em peror of Russia's is planked in, and the Earl of Cardigan's is nearly so; four others are in a very forward state. The members of the Cowes Mechanics' Institute propose having a portrait of their patron, the Earl of Yarborough, painted by a first- rate artist, and placed in the Town-hall,_ their lecture-room, Cuvar, DISA PPOINT3I EN r.--011 Sunday morning almost the entire female population of this town were attracted to Whippingharn Church, expecting the handsome man (Prince Albert) and the Queen would as usual attend. Oar churches and chapels were nearly deserted, though it was clear that the Rev Air. Protheroe was not the attraction. Many left their homes nearly breakfastless to be in time, as the doors are closed the moment the royal party enter, and those that are out remain ont—this prevents much gazing in the little churchyhrd ; the royal party also leave first to avoid the' throng (beware of the fate of Brighton I)—but on this occa sion the royal party did not attend.

This spring, W. C. Hofimeister, M.D., was appointed, and the eflect is forty subscribers. Would not similar appointments in other towns be attended with equally beneficial results to the society ? The Rev. T. S. Guyer, Independent minister, of Ryde, died on Thursday last. Li an application to the minister of Binstead Church for bis interment he decidedly refused, stating that he was a Dissenter, and that he had been the cause of making many to leave the Church, 'therefore he would not bury him. The undertaker was anxious to re move the reverend gentleman's prejudice, as Mr. Guyer had two children buried in the churchyard, and it was his wish to be buried by their side ; but Mr. Hewitt said he had pre vbusly made up his mind on the subject, and should not do it, but that they might take up the bodies of the two chil dren, and most liberally said he would not take any: fees for - that, which he was at liberty to do. This specimen of Christian charity has caused great excitement in the town among all classes both of Churchmen and Dissenters, as the deceased was universally beloved. THE STREET-CLEANSING ASSOCIATION. On Tuesday, at twelve o'clock, the City Commissioners of Sewers received a deputation at Guildhall from the Society for promoting an improved method of Cleansing the Streets of the Metropolis. The deputation was headed by Mr. C. Cochrane, Dr. Coxe, Mr. S. Buckingham, and other leading members of the association, whose object was to obtain the countenance and aid of the Court iu their endeavours to give the citizens of London an opportunity of demonStrating their opinions as to the proceedings and recommendations of the society which they represented. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Peacock) having invited the deputa tion to communicate their wishes to the Court, Mr. COCHRANE called on the secretary to read the me morial of the society to the Commission. The document, which was of considerable length, em bodied a statement of the objects and achievements of the ~ Street-cleansing Association, both of which have been re peatedly presented to the public. As an efficient mode of em ploying the able-bodied poor, besides affording great advan tages to the public in a sanitary point of view, without materially increasing their expenditure; they recommended their plan to the adoption of the citizens of' London, know ing that the effect of their example would be to ensure its reception, not merely in the other districts of the metropo lis, but in every other thickly-populated town in the country. The CHAIRMAN, before hearing the deputation, wished to observe. that the Commissioners were about to try an ex periment which, it was thought, might, to some extent, operate in the better cleansing of the streets—he alluded to the intended divisimi of the contracts, hitherto a joint one, for the duiting and cleansing of the streets. Mr. •Coctutesee: began by drawing the attention of the Court to four documents, which accompanied the memorial, the - first of which was the report of the Society's inspeitor; the second, a requisition signed by many of the leadingener- . chants; , the third, a, list of the subscribers, showing class of persons who hid taken, en interest in the subject; and the fourth, 'a testimonial fronekhe poor men engaged in the work of cleansing the different streets undertaken by the Society, and expressive of their gratitude fur having been furnished with an employment which rendered them independent of the parish. Mr. Cochrane then alluded to the excellent behaviour of these men during the execution of the work entrusted to them, observing that the police had never had cause to make a single complaint against any of them. Ile had seen with much regret, in common with his colleagues, a statement of one of their body in the newspapers, that the funds appropriated to the Commission did not exceed 6.000/. per annum ; but still lie believed lie could show that if all the items saved by the adoption of the new plan were taken into consideration, the expense would not be, in reality, much greater. The increased collection of ashes for manure, coupled with the saving effected in the water-rate or contribution (arising from there being then no necessity to water the streets), and a number of other items which would be saved indirectly by the operation of the plan, would almost compensate for the extra outlay involved by it. It would be remembered that when' the society proposed to cleanse the thoroughfares surrounding the Bank by way of example, it was suggested that the task would be a very easy one in such an open locality, and not likely to prove so satisfactory as if the experiment were made in Cheapside, Newgate-street, or some thoroughfare of equally great traffic. These streets (Cheapside and Newgate-street) were, conse quently, superintended by the society, and he felt confident that the result of the experiment had been most satisfactory to the inhabitants.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Cochrane concluded by observing, that the society were only anxious to learn from the Court what would be required by them before they ten iustifled in giving their plan a general trial. The society were stirs 4 . aposed to give their time and thei r m one y, an d i f ; ~ ....he sanction of a certain number of rate the Court Wanted; ng . irriin the matter, or a certain payers and citizens before tv) had the greatest con ches of ratepayers, they (the see,: fidence In their ability to furnish them with the necessary . guarantee. p re c_eding Dr. CONE added his testimony to that of the speaker, as to the perfect success of the society's operations wherever they had been put in force. He said it was de plorable to reflect on the wretched condition of many parts of the metropolis, even in the immediate precincts of the City'. He instanced the district of St. Pancras, especially Skinner-street, Brewer-street, &c., where fish and vegetable remains were suffered to accumulate in the roads until the effluvia became most obnoxious to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, and dangerous to their health. Mr. Deputy STEPHENS fully concurred in the eulogium passed upon the exertions of the members of the society in question, and was quite willing to admit the excellency of their plan for cleansing 'the streets ; but the Court could not move in the matter until pressed forward by the public, whose money was placed at their disposal, and whose opinions it was first necessary to ascertain, before taking any such step as that suggested by the deputation. It was true that a great many names were appended to the requisition, but several of the parties resided in Wilmington-square, and in other localities without the precincts of the city. If a pe tition emanating from the citizens, or a large proportion of the principal bankers and tradesmen, were presented in favour of the plan, the Court might take a different view of the matter. Mr. L. JoerEs said it was only due to the society which Mr. Cochrane and his friends represented, to say that their labours in the City had been completely successful, and highly satisfactory to the inhabitants. In those thoroughfares which had been cleansed by them, it was the general remark of the citizens that they had never experienced greater com fort, and he hoped the system would be continued.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Stephens, however, had rightly stated the posi tion of the Court, and although he (Mr. Jones) could not sanction the interference of the Court as a body, he felt per suaded that the Commissioners would do all in their power as individuals to further the objects of the association, Mr. BUCKINGHAM observed, that thi s was all the societ y required of the Court, and if the mem bers used their in fluence with the corporate authorities to grant them a meet ing in the Guildhall, the ob j ect of the deputation would be fully answered. Other members of the Commission expressed their hearty approval of the society's operations, but Dr. LYNCH avowed himself opposed to all that the pre ceding speakers had advanced, and all that the society had done. Ife opposed the new plan on moral grounds. lie did not like to see a poor fellow-creature in the degrading position in which it placed the workmen, who stood all day in the streets to gather up the accumulating excrescences. Ire thought the system recommended by Lord F. Egerton and others—namely, to lay on water in every floor and attic, every court and alley in the metropolis, with taps and hose to wash the outsides as well as the insides of their houses, and pipes also to wash the surface of the thoroughfares—was far preferable. - It had been successfully adopted in many large towns in England and America. Dr. CONE observed, that this plan was tried some years ago in Italy. He recollected when in Rome that the naviga tion of the Tyber had been actually stopped by the filth and excrescences thrown into it. whilst the lands were be coming incapable of cultivation for want of the manures thus wasted. _ _ _ _ Some further discussion followed, and the Court eventually promised their individual sanction and support, in the event of a public meeting of the citizens being summoned at the Guildhall to take the subject into consideration. The deputation then. withdrew. THE ROYAL LITERARY FUND.—Wednesday, at two o'clock, the annual general meeting of this society, which was esta blished in the year 1790 for the purpose.of affording relief to authors of genius and leaning and their families, was held at the chambers of the corporation, No, 73, Great Russell-street, to receive the report of the past year. Sir William Chatterton, vice-president, presided, who was supported by a large number of the members. Mr. Illewitt, the secretary, read the report, which showed that the institution was irta most prosperous state. In the course of the preceding year the sum of 1,2401. had been distributed, and the committee was enabled to increase the amount of grants, so as to afford substantial aid where the claims were of a character requiring especial assistance. Of the sums thus awarded eight applicants received each 101.; ten received 401., three 50/., one 75/., and one 100/. Since the foundation of the institution relief had been given to the amount of 33,423/. The fol lowing elections then took place :—Marquis of Lansdowne, president Lord Brougham, the Archbishop of Dublin, the 3 f ar q uis of Northampton, Brougham, Lord J. Russell, 3f.P., Sir Robert Peel, M.P., and other noblemen and gentlemen. vice-presidents ; Lord J. Manners, and Mr. M. Milner, M.P. on the committee ; and Mr. J.

With feelings of national pride and exultation we record. one of the most brilliant and splendid feats of active seaman ship, performed at Portsmouth by the crew of her Majesty's ship Rodney, 92, Captain Edward Collier,C.B. The fact of itself speaks volumes, and proves that Great Britain is otill " the undisputed mistress of the seas." At noon yesterday, the Bellerophon, 78, was anchored at Spithead, all ready for sea, completely rigged, royal yards across, sails all bent, three months' provisions on board, guns all in, and fitted for service. In fact, she was in a fit con dition to go into immediate action with an enemy, powder only being required, and that the harbour regulations pre vented her from taking in. The esprit, the enthusiasm, the alacrity with which every person belonging to the Rodney has displayed, from the captain downwards, have been a source of gratification to every person who has witnessed it. The many nautical people •of Portsmouth have been completely astonished. Saturday was the first day named for her being completed ; then, when it was observed that the gallant crew were getting on rapidly, Thursday was fixed as the day for her going to Spithead; but not a single individual expected she could he got ready and go there by noon on Wednesday; howeVer, there she was, and we have no doubt this splendid exhibition of seafaring activity will find a place in our naval history. We yesterday gave a precis of the work done on Monday and on the morning of Tuesday. On that afternoon she completed painting, received more guns, provisions, rum, bread, and a variety of other stores, got part of her spare spars in and partly stowed away, got jib-boom out, spritsail yard across, and, the last thing, bent topsails and courses. At 7, r.st., part of the people had leave on shore for the night. On Wednesday morning, at 4, a.m., began work— got up topgallant . and royal yards, with sails bent, bent head sails and driver, got remainder of lower-deck guns on board, Mowed the booms, got a portion of the boats in, re ceived breeching and gun-tackle gear. At 11, a.m., cast off warps, and, in tow of the Echo steam-tug, proceeded to Spithead. So pleased were the crews of the ships in harbour with the _energetic conduct of the Rodney ship's company, that, as the flelleroplion passed,, the St. Vincent, 120, flag-ship, and Victory," 101, guard-ship, turned up all hands, and loudly cheered that ship as she proceeded out of harbour. The same compliment was also paid them by the Carysfort, 26, and the war steamers, when the Bellerophon anchored at Spithead. When at. the. harbour's month the Belleropben saluted the at qr of tha Orplinigrithve A.l.svicrwl 54:r Casayita Ogle, whickLLQ St,,yincent returned. - eLe- - • • . It is only jiiSt i(i7Caf4f,iifi Collier, to Commander Clarke,' and to Mr. M‘Donald, the master, to observe that no three officers in her Majesty's service could have clone this work in better style than they have. The whole crew, seamen and marines, were most admirably stationed, whereby con fusion and waste of time were avoided ; every person had his work pointed out, and the different gangs did not inter fere with each other. A lighter, with 400 bags of bread, was cleared, and the bread stowed away in something over au hour. The guns were got on board in an admirable manner ; but it is impossible to particularise the number of instances of excessive activity where all worked so well. On 11Ionday morning, at four AM., the Bellero phon was alongside the jetty, with only her hare masts and bowsprit in ; no tops nor caps over, and in fifty-six hours she was at Spithead, all ready for sea, or for going into action with an enemy. _ _ This fitting-out of the Bellerophon has excited the most lively interest amongst the nautical and other persons re siding in this neighbourhood. The jetty has been thronged With gentlemen, and some few ladies. The two gallant Admirals, Lord Yarborough, the commander of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and many members of the Yacht Club, have been among the spectators. At three P.M- 2 the steam-yacht tender, Fairy, Com , . wander Crispin, with the standard flying, was teen ap proaching Spithead from Osborne. But the Rodney's people in the Bellerophon were not to be caught napping, they had their lifelines on the yards, and as the royal yacht came near them, she manned yards, saluted with twenty-one guns, and caeered the royal party on board the yacht. The Carysfort also manned yards and saluted. After cruising round the Bellerophon, the Carysfort, and Retribution at Spithead for half an hour, the Fairy again shaped her course homeward- The day was remarkably fine. The Bellerophon will be under charge of Mr. J. M'Donald fur the present. She is expected to be commissioned imme diately. We have little doubt that the Calcutta, 84, is in the same state as the Bellerophon, as she was in the same effective condi tion in Plymouth Sound at the same time that the latter was at Spithead. On Monday night she had her topmast rigging set up, and her lower yards across, and at the time of the post leaving on Tuesday the topgallantmasts were up, rig ging was set up and the men rattling it; the topmast yards were across, jib-boom was out, the guns were being taking in, provisions were got on board, and everything was pro gressing in prime style. TRADE AND SHIPPING. On the motion of Sir Robert Peel, a return has been made to the House of Commons of the shipping, exports and im ports, Customs duties, &c., from periods varying from 1814 and 1826 to the year 1845, the results of which are highly satisfactory. Toe following is an outline of the docu ments:— . 1. SIIIPPING.—An account of the number of yeesels, amount of tonnage, and number of the crews, on the 31st of December in each year, from 1820 to 1814. In ,1820, the number of vessels was 25,374, tonnage 2,648,593, seamen 174,514. In 1841, vessels 30,052, tonnage 3,512,180, seamen 210,198. In 1844, vessels 31,320, tonnage 3,637,231, and seamen 216,350. • The number of British vessels entered inwards in 1832 was 10,762, whose united burden was 1,936,846 tons; the foreign vessels were 3,865, of 561,047 tons. In. 1845 the number of British vessels was 16,964, and their tonnage •3,669,853; the number of foreign vessels 7,895, and their tonnage 1,313,735. 11. EximonTs.—The declared value of British and Irish produce and manufactures exported from the United Kingdom to all parts of the world was, in 1827, 36,860,376/. ; 1841, 51,634,6231. ; 1819, 47,381,023/. ; 1843, 52,279,709/. ; 1844, 58.584,292/. 111. CUSTOMS DUTIES.—The net revenue of the customs, and amount received for corn duties, from 1839 to 1845, were : ltevenn. Corn Duties. 1839 ........ 21,098,858 1810 21,784,499 1,156,63& 1841 21,89 8 044 568,340 1812 21,025,145 1,363,969 1843 11444 22,50 4 ,821 1,098,382 1845... 20,196,856 367,008 IV. SILK.—The quantity of silk of all kinds entered for home consumption in 1814 was 2,119,9741 b., in 1824 it had risen to 4.011,0181 b., in 1834 it was 4,522,3511 b., and in 1844 it amounted to 6,208,0211 b. The, value of the silk exported in 1826 was 168,8011.; in 1835 this amount had incaeased to 973,786/. ; in 1837 it had fallen to 503,6757. ; and in 1845 reached 764,424/. The quantities of foreign silk manufactures retained for home consumption since the removal of the prohibition - upon them in 1826, exhibit a gradual rise from 215,2781 h. in 1827, to 310,1531 b. in 1815. V. WOOL AND WOOLLEN MAN U FACT U RES. —ln 1824 the number of pounds of foreign and colonial wool imported was 22,564,485 ; and the price of Southdown wool was Is. 2d. a pound. In 1825 (when the duty on colonial wool was re moved) the import increased to 43,816,9661 b , and the price of Southdown wool simultaneously rose to Is. 4d. a pound. During the next twenty years the price fluctuated from 6d. to ls. Bd. a pound, and in 1843 it was at 1 1 id., with an im port of 47,785,06111). In 1814 the duty upon all foreign wool was removed, the quantity entered-for consumption increased 65,079,5241 b., and the price of English wool rose at once to 2(;. In 1845 the amount imported had further_ increased to 73,828,1 21b., and the price of domestic wool had risen to ls. Between 1831 and 1845 the declared value of British ex ports of woollen manufactures had risen from 5,389,124/. to 8,741,728. VI. REVENUE CO3LNIERCIAL SOURCES.—Iii 1842 the total amount of revenue, exclusive of the corn duties, was 32,178,814/. • in 1845 it was 3 3 , 415,4311 . , although during that period the ' amount of Customs and Excise duties re• mitted was 5,197,074/. VII. GLASS AND AUCTION Efurms..—The amount of re duction in the public expenditure effected by the repeal of the duties on auctions and glass, in 1845, is 52,636/. The demand for glass has increased to an enormous extent, and such is the scarcity of workmen that for some time to come the public will not derive the full benefit of the abolition off the duties. Wages in some instances have increased 100 per cent., and great numbers of workmen from France and Bel gium have been engaged at high salaries. The consequence is that in Belgium several manufactories are stopped for want of hands. A great number of new glass works have been established or are in progress in different parts of the kingdom. • NEWSPAPERS BY POST. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,_Permit me to suggest that the newspaper agents should provide themselves with stamps similar to those used by the Post-office, arranged with the names and ad dresses of their customers, and that the newspapers should be stamped with such addresses, and not the envelopes. Perhaps, to make them more distinguishable it, would be advisable that they should be done in red ink instead of black. You will perceive that it can be so done under 0 and 7 Wm. IV., c. 54, s 14, which allows the name and address to be put on the paper, but nothing else. If such system should be found to be successful, a machine might be used similar to that at the Bank of England for marking the numbers on the bank:. notes, which change at each operation; so might the names and addresses for each newspaper be changed by a similar contrivance. Proprietors of provincial newspapers (who are loud in their complaints against the Post-office department), who forward newspapers direct from their offices, might have the names and addresses of their customers printed on the paper befin•e the press-work is struck off. I allude merely to . those that are ordered to be forwarded per post. This mode of address would also serve to enable subscribers to public reading-rooms to get a view of the newspapers some few minutes earlier than they do now, as they are detained until the proprietor has stamped the newspapers with his name, in order to prevent their being taken from the rooms. If this marking be successful in stopping the pillage of nevis papers from public reading-rooms, I see no reason why it shauld not also be successful in stopping pillage among the underlings of the Pot-office department.—l am, Sir, yours obediently, IifgRCURT. Ilfracombe, March 11, 1846. • Mr. Twyford, for many yesrs a magistrate at ea* Chief Police-esurt, in Bow-street, has resigned his office, and his re signation has been accepted. Mr. Henry, of the:Lambeth Police court, has been appointed to succeed him. riEPREsENTATION OF WIGAN.—It is now said that the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone will undoubtedly be invited to be come a candidate for the vacant seat in the representation of Wigan. No opposition is expected from the Haigh family, nor will any other candidate he started by the free-traders. Report still places T. B. Crosse, Esq., as a probable candidate on the Conservative interest ; but ha appears by.no means popular with the majority of the party. It is urged in his favour, that he has become a free-trader to the ex tent of Sir R. Peel's measures; but, the fact of his having about a month ago, taken the lead in getting up a petition in favour of pro. tection to agriculture, places considerable doubt on the sincerity of his new sentiments. We have little doubt, that, if lidr..Gla: n. Gladstone co mes forward, he will walk over the course. — Mancheater Guardian.
