GINZOT, in his reply to M. THIERS, after alluding to the desire of the Government, to draw round it men of the Legitimatist party, thus boldly exposed the mis taken policy of the aristocracy :—" It had been a great misfortune for the French nobility, that they did not know how to assume that part, in the poli tical interests of their country, to which they were entitled. They had done nothing but live in the iso lation of their estates, or the subserviency of courts." "And also," exclaimed M. DE LAROCHEJACQUELIN (and well might he so exclaim), " and also, on the field of honour." " Yes," continued the Minister, " most nobly and most pa triotically. But the intelligence if the policy of the country had always been wanting to them. It was the middle classes that had been obliged to conquer, step by step, all the liberties of the country—it was to them that France owed everything !" And does this apply only to France ? Is it not the almost uni versal character of aristocracy ? It is, or rather, it was—fur all things now are changing. For years, for ages, in all times, in all countries, every great nation has had its exclusive class. Every great people that have toiled and laboured, have had their privileged few, to reap the profits—a high and elevated minority, raised aloft, not by their own exertions, but by the pressure from beneath. They are like figures, whose intrinsic value is the same, but whose power is wonderfully altered by their position—swelling from units to millions of millions, only by the augmentation of the ciphers by their side. Well may' the aristocracy be interested in the prosperity of a country—they cannot make that prosperity, but by it they are made. However, we do not wish now to censure, or to cavil, with the aristocracy; our object is only to note a most re markable coincidence—one of those unforeseen in cidents, which portray so forcibly the stirring signs of the times, which evidence so powerfully the hourly progress of reform. While in the French Chamber, M. GLIZOT was speaking of a nobility who knew not how to assume their part in the interests of their country, and to whom the intelligence of its policy was always wanting—even while he was speak ing, across the water, in our own House, our nobi lity were assuming their fit position, were proclaim. ing their intelligence, universal as its theme. While the French Parliament thought of what had been, the English (ever foremost in re form) showed forth what should be. While the ➢Minister was speaking, before echo had brough across a whisper to our shore, his ideas were illus. trated, his expectations were forestalled. Our no. bility have not to learn their duties. No longer anxious to dazzle by empty splendour, or control by narrow tyranny, they have assumed a higher place than monarch ever gave them ; tbey are ready to co-operate with the people for the interests of all. Like the leaves and flowers of the forest, which the root nourishes, the "Stem Upholds—but, raised aloft, they are not useless, they are not idly ornamental ; they give their shelter and their fruit—so our no bility, supported by the people, will act earnestly and heartily for the people's welfare. No longer, in the words of VOLTAIRE— " Aux murs de Westminster ou voit paraitre ensemble, Trois pouvoirs etonnes du neeud qui les rassemble, Les deputes du peuple, et les grands, et le roi, Divises d'interet,reunis par la loi." Interest now unites them more firmly than any laws : that the good of one is the good of all has at length been virtually acknowledged. The second reading in the Lords was in many ways remarkable. The debate commenced even while NI. GuizoT was disserting on the duties of nobility, but the trium phant division was not recorded till the morning sun had risen---the sun of May 29th, which nearly two hundred years ago witnessed the restoration of the STUARTS. In honour of that event, the day was rendered memorable, but its fame shall be prouder and purer far, hereafter. It shall be remembered, as the day which saw not alone the restoration of the worst of KINGS, but the ultimate downfal of the most iniquitous of laws. And in future times we shall join with the green oak leaves which preserved a monarch, the golden corn which shall preserve a people! While thus in thought uniting the monarchy and the corn- laws, we cannot but recal the frantic predictions o some, who declared a repeal would be calculated to destroy the aristocracy and even shake the throne! The result is exactly opposed to those predictions. The glorious measure now becoming law, will not only benefit the people, but add to the privileges of the privileged--it gives them (what they have already gladly seized upon) an opportunity of winning popular favour, and of stooping from their ancestral elevation to conquer a yet higher one in their country's history. '1 he decision of the Lords, suicidal though some may deem it, has done more ;o strengthen the true influence of Peers ;han any royal gift or baronial extortion since ;he days of the Conqueror or King JOAN : and so far from shaking the throne, we may safely aver that no royal despot, or crowned conqueror, was ever so secure, not only on the throne, but in the affections of the people, as is our present constitutiona, SOVEREIGN. But if the power of Princes and Peers is placed on a firmer basis how much is that of the people augmented and ensured? After all, this is - - their peculiar triumph. This year will be a me• morable one in their annals. It is the turning point— not so great in itself as leading to better things—the opening wide the portals of a glorious futurity. Some months ago the now popular Minister led the way ; in a few days all will be over. During all this time how concentrated has been the universal interest, how engrossed is it even now. Every event gives place to the great subject of the day. Even the birth of a royal infant is scarcely thought of, while contemplating the cradle where Free Trade, an infant Hercules, strangles monopoly in his giant grasp and the escape of an illustrious prisoner—one bear.. ing a name of glory—is unheeded, in the joy of a far greater emancipation, as Industry breaks off the fetters which have galled her for long years. of the 2 4 6 w The Emperor of Rums was at l a v 1 23d ult. A letter from Koningsberg, "In January last, M. Statzky, a Pole, who on the f tb, says _ fifteen years, had been established at Christiana, i o n r , t i li e last where he had obtained civil rights, passed through i la ay s : ago, he berg, on his way to Poland. On his return, a week ' was arrested, by order of the Minister of Police, founded on a demand of extradition by the Russian Government, which accuses him of having taken part in the late insurrection in Paland, and of having had relations with M. Dombrowsky, who has fled. Immediately after the arrest of M. Statzky, the Swedish and Norwegian Consuls, and those of France and England (the two latter, because M Statzky had married the daughter of a French general, born in London,) inter vened with the authorities in his favour. Couriers were sent off to the Minister of Police at Berlin, and to the Ambassa dors of France and England, and an active interchange of nutes ensued between the representatives of Sweden, Norway, Great Britain, and France, and the Prussian Minister fur Foreign Affairs. The matter has terminated, however, in an unexpected way. M. Statzky has disappeared from the prison in which he was confined, and it is known that he has succeeded in reaching Stettin, from whence he will embark for the island of Bonholtn (Denm , rk), on his way to Sweden or Norway, where there are no treaties of extradition with Russia." ___ Accounts from Lisbon of the 21st ult. state that the following appointments had been made in the new Ministry :—the Duke of PALMELLA, President of the Council, holding, td interim, Lbe portiulio of the Finances; the Duke of TERCEIRA, Minister of war; and the Marquis of SALDANIJA, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Letters from Lisbon of as late a date as the -23d have been received in Paris. They OVA that the porau ;moment otili =gulled to one at Villareal, under the presidency of th e gain ground—that three juntas had been orga n i ze d, son of Count VILLAREAL ; another at Coimbra, at the head of, which was M.

The members of the three juntas had all assembled at Leiria, for the purpose of march ing thence at the head of the insurgents upon Lisbon. The troops of the north had retired into Oporto, and declared that they would not fight against the people. The colonels of three regiments of the garrison of Lisbon had made a similar decla ration. All commercial transactions were suspended and the capital was in the greatest state of agitation.

Our intelligence from Lisbon of the 23d ult. is highly important. All the towns and villages situate on the south of the Tagus, and opposite that capital, had joined in the insurrection. The annual session of the Cortes was closed on that day. The Revolucao de Setiembre contains a royal decree, dated the 21st, accepting the resignation of the Cabral Administration, and another appointing the Marquis of Palmella President of the Council and Minister of the Interior, and Minister ad interim of Justice and Finance ; the Marquis of Saldanha, the Envoy of Portugal at Vienna, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Duke of Terceira, Minister of War, and charged ad interim with the Foreign and Colonial Government. '1 he same journal publishes a proclamation of the Queen, dated the 21st, and countersigned by the Marquis of Palmella and the Duke cf Terceira, announcing that the evils which the nation complained of profoundly afflicted her royal heart, and that the grievances of the people should be redressed. Her Majesty then declares the laws of public health and the new tributary system to be abolished, and orders all restrictions to the liberty of the press to be removed. The Civil Governor of Lisbon had been superseded in his post by M. Machado. The Madrid journals of the 29th bring no news. Three per Cents., 34—Times. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

This appeal motion, which stood on the paper to-day for argument, was postponed until the appeal in the House of Lords had been heard and decided. NEWMAN V. KING. This case came before the Court upon two appeal motions, the object of one being to commit certain parties for the breach of an injunction, and the other to show cause against dissolving the injunction. The case occupied his Lordship the whole morning. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour heard motions to-day. WOODIN v. FIELD. This case came before the Court upon motion, on behalf of the defendant, for the dissolution of an injunction, restraining him from manufacturing and telling horse-shoes of the same construction as those for which the plaintiff had obtained a patent. His HONOUR, at the conclusion of the arguments, gave judgment dissolving the injunction with costs, but giving liberty to the plaintiff to bring such action as he might be advised. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN AT THE PROSECUTION OF THE HON. EAST INDIA COMPANY V. CAPTAIN DOUGLAS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose at the siitting of the Court this morning, and stated that in this case he had complied with the direction of the Court to inspect the different counts of the indictment, with a view to ascertain which of them there were,and how many, upon which a nolle prosequi should be entered, and after having given the whole of their counts the best consideration he could, he had come Ito the determination that there were five of the counts upon which a nolle prosequi might be entered; but, as the indict ment contained sixteen counts, there would still remain eleven upon which he was clearly of opinion that he had a right to call .ter the judgment of the Court; and he now begged leave to say he would call for that judgment on Mon day next. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that that would be too soon to call for judgment, and w ou ld not be affording him sufficient time to ascertain whether he had not a right to move for a new trial upon some of th e ot h er counts, The COURT concurred with the Learned Gentleman, and postponed the judgment until next Thursday. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BUR CIIELL DOLMAN V. WATERS. This was an action to recover the sum of 12/. 17s. 6d., under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that the defendant had been entitled to an annuity, which he had made over to the Commercial and General Life Assurance Company for a debt due to them, but on his being required to pay up, the plaintiff was engaged as an agent to dispose of it, and he did so to General Hodgson. It was, however, agreed between t:n plaintiff, as the agent, and the defendant, that the latter should allow one quarter's dividend to the purchaser for costs. On the settlement, however, the plain tiff paid off the lien of the Commercial and General late As surance Company and the rest to the defendant, not deduct ing the quarter's dividend as agreed, and he now sought to recover it as money paid in error. The UNDER- :SHERIFF said that there could not be a doubt that the money was recoverable, and the jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. ANSELL V. ATKINS. This was an action to recover the sum of 111. 55., for goods sold, and the defendant pleaded a set off. The plaintiff is a carman, and the defendant a corn and coal merchant in Islington. The proof depended on rather singular testimony. For the plaintiff a discharged servant of the defendant was called, who proved that a certain quantity of straw was taken in by him, but he could not remember any clover, coal, or flour being sent back in return, or at any other time. On the contrary, a discharged servant of the plaintiff's was called, and swore that, to the best of his belief, he did not deliver so much straw as spoken of, and he swore to deliveries of clover, beans, &c., over a period of f our months, although the defendant in the particulars of hi s set-off only claimed for during two months. After a great deal of argument and attempted explanation, The UNDXR-SHERIFF left the case to the jury, and they gave a verdict for 1/. 9s. lid., being the difference between the claim and set-off, without taking into consideration the contradictions on either side. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. GROUP I. LONDON AND YORE, (TEE EASTERN COUNTIES). The Committee met again this day at eleven o'clock ; the Earl of Lovelace, chairman. Upon the Committee having called on the parties to pro ceed, Mr. AusTIN rose and addressed the Committee in support of the preamble for the Eastern Counties line. The Learned Counsel proceeded at great length to lay the favourable points of the case before the Committee, laying much stress upon the fact of the engineering merits of the Eastern Counties' scheme over that of the London and York. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON AND SOUTH WESTERN (ROMSEY AND AHD BRUME BRaireCH.) The Committee re -assembled this morning at twelve o'clock; the Hon. E. Yorke in the chair. plained th a t t h e promoters had prevented them from obtain- Mr. H ILL , Q.C., before proceeding with business, com ing copies of th e f ormal proofs put in on Friday, as on each application at the St and i ng Orders ' -office, which applicatio ns had been renewed again and again until this morning, they found the promoters busily engaged in making copies, and therefore found it impossible to obtain copies. Mr. ALEXANDER, QC., denied that the promoters had thrown and obstructions in the way of the opponents of the line. They were very voluminous, and the copying of them required time. The CHAIRMAN considered that the Committee could not interfere, as thedocument s were i n the custody of the officers of the House of Commons, and were open to the parties. After considerable discussion, Mr. ALEXANDER stated that the whole of the documents would be at liberty in the course of an hour. The CHAIRMAN then intimated that they were ready to hear the opening of the case on behalf of the MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. Mr. -ALEXANDER intimated that the promoters wculd first call evidence on behalf of the line, and reserve their right to address the Committee until the close of their case.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, including 1,000 to 2,000 on speculation. There was no change in prices, but the market generally was firm. Shares were very quiet.

The increase on several of the most important articles has been very considerable; and if the duty on some of these, such as tea and tobacco, bad not been reduced, the revenue would have shown an amount corresponding with it. The increased importation of tea alone, as compared with last year, is 65,289 lbs. Estimated value of exports, 187,700/.

The assemblage of rank and fashion was more than usually numerous, the number of ladies most ele gantly attired being perhaps greater than on any similar occasion. The brilliancy of the day may in some measure account for this, but there is but little doubt still more is due to the success which was attendant upon the society's last display. There existed one inconvenience, however, consequent upon the great influx of patrons, which had its origin in the inability of those entrusted with the disburse ment of refreshments to supply one tithe of the urgent calls upon their sympathies. This, and the want of an efficient system at the entrance, which needs but to be alluded to for its remedy, were but small per contras against a very large amount of actual instruction and refined delight. Two military bands, now here and now there, amidst the shrub beries, plsyed, in a finished and careful style, several of the most admired overtures and airs, while a large body of police acted as a corps of direction in preventing con fusion. The following prizes stood most prominent For calceolarias (amate ur ), M r . W r i g ht, gar d ener t o the H second nourable Mr. Rushart, Wanstead, the fi r st prize ;the Kendall, of to Mr. Gaines, nurseryman, Battersea. Mr. Stoke Newington, carried away the prize Mr. Cock, of Chiswick, was equallyfortuate in h of pelargoriums. In the latterand other for fuchsias, and geraniums, io seieclrn d and was followed close Mr. Gaines, of Battersea, again by Mr. Parker, of Roeharnpt excelle who likewise became a prize holder. The roses were especially attractive, and reflected great credit on the successful competitors: Messrs. Lane an d Sons, Berkhampstead ; Mr. Francis, of Hertford; and Mr. Bettridge, Milton-hill, Bucks. Mr. Green, the gardener to Sir Edward Antrobtv, Bart., of Cheam, obtained the first di s tinction for the azalias grown by him ; and Mr. Mylam, gardener to S. Rucker, of Wandsworth, the same f or his col leci ion of orchidareas, ha which honour Mr. Rae, gardener to J. U. Bland, of Streatham, in part shared. The cape heath, which appear year ty year to acquire greater beauty, were abundant, but the finest of them were those of Mr. Ryle, the gardener of Miss Trail], of Bromley, who deservedly took the first place. There were likewise a whole catalogue of other floral excellencies, the extent of which alone precludes a more lengthy notice,. Madrid papers of the 28th have been received. According to the Heraldo, the rumour of an ap proaching modification of the Ministry begins to gain credit. It is said that MM. MoN and PIDAL will retire, to make room for M. PACHECO and other members of the Conservative Opposition. Tne ac counts from the provinces continue satisfactory. MADRID BOLS I.—The Three per Cents. were not quoted on the Bourse, but sold out of doors at 334. The shares of the Bank of San Fernando were done at 380, and those of Isabel at 196. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. They contain the following official account of the massacre of the French prisoners by ABD-EL-KADER. The Minister of War has received a dispatch from Lieut.-General DE LAMORICIERE, which unhappily confirms the sad news of the massacre of the French soldiers who were in the hands of ABD-EL-KADER. The certainty of this sorrowful event has been ac quired through a private of the Bth battalion of the Orleans Chasseurs, who succeeded in effecting his escape. This man, whose name is ROLLAND, was wounded and made prisoner on the 23d September, 1845. He arrived at Lalla Marina, on the 17th ult. His account is as follows : " The deira was encamped about threee leagues from the Molouia. The prisoners, who were about 300 in number, occupied about twenty gourbis in the midst of the camp of regular infantry. The camp was inclosed by high bush work, in which were two openings. This made the guard of the prisoners more easy. On the 27th of April, in the afternoon, a letter was received at the deira from Abd-el- Kader. Three horsemen arrived at the camp where the pri soners were to fetch the officers in the name of Mustapha Ben Tami. They were taken to the deira under pretext that they were to be present at a fete at the Kalifa's. The officers removed were MM. Cognord, Lazaret, Marin, Hillerain, Ca basso, Thomas, an adjutant. There were also taken away the inarechal-des-loges, chef of the hussars, Testard, Trottel, and two others. At night the other prisoners were drawn out in a line. We were orderered to bring all our effects with us. When we had been thus collected the regular infantry arrived, and we were separated to be conveyed to theirgourbis, seven of us were taken by the inh a bit an t s o f four gourbis, and we were all made to enter the same gourbi. I told my comrades that something would happen during the night. and not to go to sleep, but for us to be ready to defend our selves if it was intended to kill us. I h ad a French knife which I found on the banks of the Molouia three days pre viously. In entering the gourbi I found a reaping hook, which I gave to my comrade I)aumet. At the slightest noise I said, I will go out the first and you will follow me. Towards midnight the soldiers of Abd-el-Kader set up a cry. That was the signal. I went out first and met a regular, and stabbed him in the breast with a knife. He fell. I then jumped over the inclosure of bushes which surrounded the camp and fell to the ground. Whilst I was trying to extri cate myself some soldiers arrived and endeavoured to cap ture me; my trousers were in a bad state and remained in their hands. I escaped in my shirt. In a ravine a hundred metres from the camp, a party in ambush fired upon me, and I was slightly wounded in the right leg by a ball. I continued to fly and then mounted a small hill, and sat dawn to see if any of my comrades were able to join me. In turning towards the camp I heard the cries of the prisoners and of the people of Abd-el Kader. The musket firing lasted for more than half an hour. My com rades, to judge from the noise that I heard, must have de fended themselves. To escape from the massacre in the gourbis of the regulars, several prisoners had taken refuge in our gourbis in the middle of the camp ; in order to drive them out the gourbis were set on fire, and they were fired upon as they came out. Seeing that no person followed me, I crossed the Molouia, and walked on for three nights, con cealing myself during the day. The third day there was a thunder storm with rain, and a violent wind. I con tinued my march, nearly naked and in great suffering. I proceeded towards a Moorish village, where I arrived before night. On entering the village I met some women who were come to draw water. On seeing me they fled, uttering cries. I entered the village. At the end of a small street I saw a young man about twenty years old. When he saw me he drew his dagger to kill me. I wished to die, and advanced towards him. I had approached within three or four paces, when another man left a neigh bouring terrace and held back his arm. He then took me to his house and warmed me for two or three minutes, after which he took me to his sleeping-place. There he tied my feet and hands, and threw a horse-cloth over me ; seeing that I said nothing, for I saw that I had not long to suffer. I then saw him prepare to lie down. Thinking that he wished to make me suffer, and kill me afterwards, I made a sign to him to make haste and put an end to me without torture. He told me that he did not intend to kill me. I passed the night as I could. In the morning he came and untied me. I remained seven days with him. He would not let me go out, as there were people in the village who wished to kill me. The seventh day there came a man who made me leave at night to take me to his house. On arriving he gave me a haik and a burnous. He kept me ten days. On the tenth day he took me to one of his relations, who is in a Moorish village a day's march from Lalla Magrina. This man took me because the other did not know the way. We came by the mountains of Nedroma, and near the town my conductor took a guide. I bad told my first friend that he would have money given to him if he restored me to the French. I think that is what gave the second idea of taking me to Lalla Magrina. I was told that there were two of my comrades in other Moorish villages. The regulars had set aside some of my comrades on account of their trades. I think they were not killed. Perrin, char_ sear of the Bth, taken at Sidi ; Brahim, kept as a tailor ; Marlin, of the Bth, tinman ; Voland, of the Bth ; and Perrin, of the 7th company." Such, adds the dispatch, is the recital of ROLLAND. He added that the troops of ARD-EL.KAKER showed a disposition to desert him, because the Moroccornen would not sell any corn. They are never paid in money, but in paper notes bearing the seal of the Emir, and this is given in exchange for provisions. It was taken in payment for a time, but has since fallen into discredit. There are little more than 100 tents at the deira—viz., 40 belonging to the Hahems 20 to Bou Hamedi, and about 50 to various tribes There are 100 regular cavalry. (Signed) Lalla Magrina, May 21, 1846. The Captain Aide-de -Camp of the Lieut.- BAUDOUIN. General, A. De Senneville. The singular simplicity with which ROLLAND QX• presses himself should be heard, in order to appre ciate the value of men who have been able to sustain, without losing their courage, a trial so severe. ROLLAND is weakly in appearance, but does not bear the traces of physical suffering. On this subject the Prince DE LA MOSKOWA put the question to the Ministry of which he had given notice, and animadverted in strong terms en the Go- vernment for not having negotiated an exchange o prisoners with ABD-EL-KADER. N. Gunor, in reply, stated that overtures for such an exchange had been made by ABD-EL-KADER to Marshal BUGEAUD, but hat the Marshal was convinced they were not serious M. GuizoT further stated, that through the French Consul at Tangiers he had notified to the Emperor of MOROCCO the fact that French prisoners were detained in his dominions, and had de manded their surrender. Negotiations were opened —money was paid to procure the release of the prisoners, but still no results were arrived at. He deeply deplored the sad catastrophe which had happened, but was happy to be able to state that some of the prisoners had escaped the massacre. After a few words from M. DE Boisr and the Prince DE LA MOSKOWA, the subject dropped. Marshal BUGEAUD returned to Algiers on the 26th. M. EbIILIE DE GIRARDIN, the editor of the Presse, has been elected Deputy for Bourganeuf. The Chamber of Deputies voted the Budget of the Minister of the Interior on Monday, and on Tuesday commenced the discussion of the Budget of the Mi nister of Agriculture and Commerce.

(THIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the scripholders in the Guild ford, Chichester, Portsmouth, and Fareham Railway Com pany, was held this afternoon, in pursuance of the sessional orders, at the Nine Elms station of the London and South- Western Railway, for the purpose of having submitted to their consideration copies of two Bills—the first, "A Bill for authorising the sale of the Guildford Junction Railway, and for enabling the purchasers to maintain the same, and to make and maintain a railway therefrom to Godalming, and from the London and South-Western Railway at Fareham to Portsmouth;" and the second, "An A c t f or ma ki ng rail ways from Guildford to Chichester, and from Fareham to Portsmouth, with branches to Petersfield, in the county of Hants, and to Chichester Harbour, in the county of Sussex." Mr. Henry Currie, the banker, was voted to the chair, on the motion of Mr. Mangles, seconded by Mr. Jones. The CHAIRMAN saH, in the absence of Mr. Chaplin, who was the permanent chairman of the Company, he had great pleasure in taking the chair. The proprietors were aware that the capital of the Company was a million and a quarter, in 20,000 shares of 501. each, and 20,000 shares of 12/. 10s. each. The number required by the sessional orders to con stitute a meeting was one-third, or 25,000 shares, making in amount 416,700/. The proprietors had sent in scrip far ex ceeding that amount, and they would have sent them to a still greater extent, were it not that they were anxious to avoid the trouble of registration. The number of 50/. shares sent in was 10,515, or 525,7501., and the number of 12/. 10s. shares 1,74834, or 87,437/. 10s., t , makin a total of 12,2633% shares, and 613,187/. 10s. of capital ° , and being 3,929 3 / 4 shares and 196,487/. 10s. capital more than the sessional orders required. He did not know whether it was necessary for him to trouble the meeting with any observations on the merits of the two Bills. They were aware that both of them had a good chance of being passed ; indeed, one had already passed the Commons, and was now before the Lords, who, he had no doubt, would shortly report favourably upon it. He should be happy to answer any questions the meeting might be desirous of putting. After a short pause, the SOLICITOR (Mr. Bircham) read the breviats of the two Bills; and a resolution approving and authorising the dir ee: ors to proceed with them, was moved from the chair and carried unanimously. The meeting terminated with the customary vote of thanks to the Chairman. REGENT's CANAL COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting of this Company was held yester day, at the establishment, City-road Basin, J. E. D. Bethune, Esq., in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the agreement as to the project for transforming the Regent's Canal into a railway having become void in consequence of the required amount not having been subscribed, the sum of 5,0001. deposited as caution money by the committee of that scheme, became the property of the Regent's Canal Company, and that the same had been transferred to the ac count of the reserve fund, thereby increasing the amount of that fund to 13,835/. 183. 2d. The committee had borrowed of this amount 2,605/. I7s. 3d. to pay for a portion of the property required for the new entrance to the Limehouse Dock. The tonnages in the six months ending the 31st of May, amounted to 528,865 tons, producing a return of 18,934/., and the profit for the half year ending 31st of March last, amounted to 13,057/. 16s. Pd., making with 393/. 4s. 6d., an amount of 13,451/. Is. 4d. to be carried to the profit and loss account. A deduction of five per cent. on the net profits of the half-year was suggested as a remedy for preventing the reserve fund sinking below 10,0001., the amount agreed upon for that fund before a dividend be de clared. In conclusion, the committee suggested a dividend out of the profits of 12s. per share, leaving a balance of 600/. towards the next account. Atter the reading the report Mr. Green and Mr. Mayhew were rather vituperative against some of the directors for jobbing in the shares of the com pany, which led to a long discussion, in which the Chairman, Mr. Alderman Wilson, Mr. llitchirs Mr. G. R. Robinson, the solicitor, Mr. Lyon, and oth ers took part. The transfer book was ordered to be produced by the Chairman; but, on examination, for the last twelve months no shares were found to have been disposed of by the directors, which explanation seemed to be satisfactory. A proprietor asked if the Com pany had come to any understanding between the East and West India Dock Railway Company, in respect to the canal? The Chairman said he could not at present publicly state what had transpired, but they might rely on the committee being quite alive to the interests of the proprietors. After a deal of discussion on various topics the report was adored, when the committee and auditors were elected, and a vote of thanks having been passed the chairman, the meeting separated. COLONIAL MONOPOLY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Srn,—Can you or any of your readers assign to me a sound reason why I, who am denuded of all protection on the corn I grow and sell, should be required to support the colonial monopoly, by paying a protected price for the sugar, coffee, &c., I may require for myself and family ? It was surely always understood that when the differential duties on corn were abolished (the trifle which remains for three years being little more than enough to pay the costs of registra tion), the differential duties on all other articles were to be abolished also.—l am, sir, &c., A TENANT-FARMER, We are requested to state that Mrs. Jameson's new work, " Memoirs and Essays on Art, Literature, and Social Morals," will be published by Mr. Bentley, New Burlington street, on Friday next, thd sth inst SUICIDE Or A YOUTH.—yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. W. Baker, jun., deputy-coroner, at the Ship, in Finsbury -square, on the body of John Treacher Hall, aged 17 years, who committed suicide by swallowing an ounce of arsenic. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was the son of a respectable hat-manufacturer, of No. 6, Finsbury-square. For some time past the deceased had been in a low and desponding state of mind. He was subject to repeated bleeding at the nose, which appeared to alarm him and prey on his spirits. He was very absent in conversation, and there was no doubt his mind had become affected by his infirmity, which he concealed from his family. On Sunday morning the deceased's brother, Mr. Arthur Hall, left him in bed awake. Shortly afterwards a noise was heard in the room by one of the servants as she was passing the door. Mr. Hall immediately proceeded to his brother's apartment and found him lying on the bed in a state of great exhaustion and pain. Medical assistance was sent for directly, and Dr. Pervia was soon in attendance. He found the deceased vomiting and in a state of collapse. He prescribed for the deceased, and when he was restored to con sciousness Dr. Pervia asked him what he had taken. The deceased replied he had taken arsenic The- deceased also informed Dr. Pervia that he had obtained the arsenic six months ago from the warehouse of his brother, who is a wholesale druggist, and that he had come to the determina tion of committing suicide, as there was no object worth living for. The deceased expired at one o'clock ori Sunday, three hours after he had taken the arsenic. On a post mortem ex amination of the body, Dr. Pervia found a large quantity of arsenic in the deceased's stomach. The jury returned a ver dict "That the deceased committed suicide while in a state of mental derangement." FARRINGDON GENERAL DISPENSARY AND LYING-IN Clint - inv.—The annual dinner of this institution was held yesterday evening at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street. Mr. Alderman Copeland, M.P., who had consented to preside, being by reason of a family affliction prevented from attend ing, Sir James Duke, M.P., the Alderman of the ward, took the chair. About thirty gentlemen sat down to an excel lent dinner provided by Mr. Clemow, which, with the wines, gave great satisfaction. Mr. J. Galsworthy, the secretary, read the report, from which it appeared that the number of patients relieved during the last year was 3,133. The corn mittee announced the removal of the dispensary to much more commodious premises in Bartlett's-buildings, Holborn, an inspection of which they invited. It appears that the limited income of the charity is by no means commensurate with the calls upon it, and the greatest desire was expressed to free the institution from the debt of 3001. which at present hampers its efficiency. A donation of 30/. from the Presi dent, Lord Denman, was announced amid the cheers of the meeting, and a list of further donations, amounting to 761., was read by the treasurer, Mr. Deputy Bedford. Arrange ments were made for bringing the claims of the charity and the great amount of good effected by it under the notice of the wealthier inhabitants of the ward by means of a deputa tion, and also for insuring more harmonious action between the committee and medical officers, the latter of whom, it appeared, claimed a vote in the proceedings of the com mittee. Since the establishment of the charity, in in 1828, up to the commenc emen t o f t h e present year, relief has been afforded to no less than 53,590 patients, of whom at least one-fourth, inclusive of midwifery cases, have been attended at home. FATAL ACCIDENT ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S SHIP CALEDONIA.—PLymoum, JUNE 2.—On Sunday, the 31st ult., at sunset, when lowering the maintopgallant mast on board her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain Sir Manly H. Dixon, lying in Hamoaze, the lizard unfortunately gave way, and the mast fell on the deck and killed three persons. It appears that the top-gallant-yards of this ship—fore, main, and mizen—are usually sent down at sunset; but, in conse quence of the Admiralty order for examining her spars and rigging, instructions had been given on board to lower the top-gallant-masts, in addition to the yards, so as to be the more forward for commencing work the next day (Monday). At the time of the accident, Captain Dixon, the three Lieu tenants (including Lieut. Jones, the officer of the watch), and most of the crew, were on deck. The lizard, unfor tunately, in as not securely stopped, and when the man at the mast-head found it slippi ng f rom t h e mast rope, he sung out, I as usual, "Stand f rom un d er. " There were from forty to fifty hands underneath, who rushed forward out of danger. The sufferers, who were more aft, and not in a dangerous position, unhappily followed the others, and thus came right under the mast. In falling from the mast-head the top-gallant mast caught in the rigging, canted, and fell horizontally across the deck. Three persons were killed on the spot, viz., Mr. C. P. Lamb, assistant clerk, William Slaney, a marine, leaving a widow and five children, and Thomas B. Herbert, first-class boy. Charles Pomeroy, a boy, had his shoulder dislocated, and was otherwise severely injured. The calamity has deeply affected Captain Dixon and the officers, and they have evinced their sympathy for the widow of the marine by a subscription in her behalf. The Captain has given 21., Mr. Bone, purser, 11., and the other officers in proportion. The marines volunteered a day's pay each. The boy Pomeroy was taken to the Boyal Naval Hospital, at Stonehouse, where an inquest is to be held this evening on the remains of those who were killed.

BIRMINGHAM TO BE ERECTED INTO A GREAT CEN TRAL MI, muty DEPOT.—It has been stated in Birmingham this week, in quarters likely to be well-informed, that Go vernment intend to erect the military station there into a grand central depot, aini to rez , love to it the greater part of the troops now stationed at \Veedon. The central position of Birmingham, communicating as it now does by railway with all the principal ports in England, has, it is thought, suggested the propriety and advantage of making it the seat of a central depot, inasmuch as at a moment's notice troops might thence bs dispatched and landed in, S few Imre in AnY put at gi9t1414 Evikad, 3 3 4 1% 23% 73 16% 13 53 % P 2 228 €56 40% 22S 2S 2 p t''"~',~""~ THE NAVY.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.— Loss OF TWO LIVES.--- FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)—I send you the particulars Of a serious accident that occurred yesterday near Howick terrace, Westminster, attended with loss of life. There is a large sewer neary opposite this house—a public thorough fare—which runs through Messrs. Elliott's brewery, and at this point it is quite exposed —no covering or rail whatever._ It appears that th ree y oung c hild ren, b e l ong i ng t o a Per man named Whitehouse, a coalheaver, were amusing them selves on the banks by ca t c hi ng corks that came from the brewery, when they all f e ll i n . A l a d , only eight yea rs age, immediately plunged in and brought one on shore, buy life was extinct, the water being only about two feet deer'. Another of the sufferers was got out in an exhausted state,. and taken to the hospital, but has since died. The body 01 the third has not yet been found. So many accidents have occurred at this spot lately, that it is most disgraceful on the part of the authorities that something has not been done to prevent them.
