That first and most important part of the tariff which relates to corn and flour passed without a division. The various amendments which yesterday bade fair to diversify the discussion have been one after another withdrawn, and really there is now almost room to congratulate the country, and part cularly the agricultural party in the Commons, on a cheerfill surrender of the question. Of course, there will be various opportu-• nities of speaking and dividing the House in the progress of the Bill which will he founded on these resolutions ; but, as the protectionist party hare not attempted to qualify the measure, or introduce any substitute of their own, it may be presumed th.,t they will not think it necessary to do more than record their votes on the general prin ciple of the change. We are inclined to hope that we have not hitherto done justice to the negative tactics of the Opposition. We construed them rather as indicating a want of Inge nuity, and even of feeling ; as if either the importance of the crisis had not been perceived, or it had been found impossible to suggest a remedy which should not. approximate too near to the Ministerial measure. Undoubtedly, an opposition must be feeble which was based on blindness or indiffers ence to the peculiar exigencies of the time. Undoubtedly, also, it would run some risk of being considered frivolous and vexatious if it admitted that something ought to be done, but contented itself with objecting to the only remedy actually proposed. The more genial results of last night seem to show that the protectionists have merely been satisfying the moral claims of consistency, and the ab stract merits of their cause. It was really what was called " the flag of protection." It was only " true blue." The three weeks' debate was a three weeks' mourning for the departed object of their regards. That ended, they have no wish to distress the survivors with any further and more obtrusive memorials of what is now no more. Such an opposition assumes the modesty and decorum of a protest, which virtually acquiesces in a great change of policy with out thinking it necessary to pronounce against the principles of the departing system. Last night was the chance, the last chance, of urging the merits of a fixed duty. There was a double promise of a last debate on this point. Mr. W. O. Stanley proposed the fixed duty of ss. a quarter on wheat, and Mr. M. Milnes a perpetuation of the three years' scale in the Ministerial measure. But , seeing that the battle was against them, both consented to withdraw their mea sures. It is difficult, we will not say impossible, to suppose that this means of compromise of a moderate fixed duty will be ever revived. We have seen its last. Yet we cannot forbear from pausing to con sider its singular destiny. Never was there a proposition so reason able, so modest, yet so unfortunate. Fate was always against it. It was always too liberal for protectionists, too close for free-traders. Whenever it was brought before the Legislature it was at a crisis when the very stars fought against it. The Whigs caught at it when they were drowning, and dragged it along with them to the bottom. 11l fares the stalking horse of a fallen party. Its undoubted merits were of no avail. Sir Robert was ever precluded from it, because it was a Whig measure. It has been the work of half his life to avoid it. The Whigs had charmed It for their own special use, and woe to the uninitiated hand that might dare to grasp the weapon, though it lay on the public road, and courted the eye and hand of the passenger. Its evil fate has pursued it to the last. ahe last resource of the Whigs has now done the same duty for a section of the protectionists. Again, in the midst of a great collision, when a minority is rapidly yielding to an over powering coalition—when an ancient and respectable party finds itself outnumbered, outflanked, pushed in the Thant, and threatened in the rear, an , . has no resource but to give way, then, then again, too late common sense comes uppermost with them, and we near of a fixed duty. Its very name, however, by this time is the omen of defeat,. It has become rather a conventional demand for mercy than au actual proposition of terms. Yet this is the misfortune, not the fault, of the plan. A fatality, it would seem, haunts measures as sometimes men, and sometimes even nations. Reason pleads in vain against fate. The very fact that the many recommendations of a moderate fixed duty have not availed to pro cure for it a favourable hearing, seems to prove that it is now irrevocably doomed to rejection. We cannot, of course, anticipate an entire cessation of hostilities. Though the army seems prepared to accept a defeat, yet the skirmishers will have their amusement. Ministers, last night, purchased their substantial success at the price of some not very serious molestation. Sir Robert, who for so many years has been endeavouring to adjust the price of corn, cannot easily re sign his prophetic pretensions. The dupes of his craft still flock round him, and demand a vaticination of the exact price of corn from this year to the end of the world under an open trade. In Vain does he profess himself to be no more than man. In vain is the oracle silent. All the more is he urged to say something or other which shall fill that horrid vacuity of doubt which yawns in the protectionist intellect. Some distinct augury, some figure—say 53s ,—say 49s.,—say 45s.,—say anything, will do. It will be something to look at, something for the mind to repose on, something to worship. It will be giving form and circumstance to hope, which cannot realise its objects, unless they have some defi nite outline. Monday promises a renewal of these lesser fights. On that day a great question is to be discussed. Wheat, barley, oats, and rye are given up, and Mr. Miles takes his stand on buckwheat, maize, and rice, which have been taken from their alphabetical places in the tariff for an early and separate discussion. Mr. Miles — we readily excuse the instincts of offended dignity—wishes to retreat with gravity and deliberation. He will not be hurried off his legs. He will pause before he consents to Indian corn being introduced at a nominal duty. We beg to suggest a reason for delay. The experi ment has yet to be tried. Will anybody in these islands eat it? If they will not eat it, Mr. Miles will not object to so harmless an im portation. If they will cat it, and relish it, then let the plan of the protectionist be duly considered. Meanwhile, Mr. Miles has no objection to a small Bill permitting the importation, duty free, into Ireland. It is scarcely necessary to explain how this would operate. The Greek " Joe Miller " supplies us with an illustration. A certain slave was once charged with the care of a vessel of wine. He tapped it at the bot tom, and abstracted a portion of its contents. By-and-by his master observed that the surface had fallen, and charged him with the theft. lie denied it with great simplicity, on the ground that what he had taken was from the bottom, and what his master missed was from the top. We should imagine that, if we introduce 100,0001. worth of maize into British consumption, it does not much matter in what part of these islands it is. It may be forced in at the bottom, but it will nevertheless tell at the top. However, we do not expect that Mr. Miles will do more than look at the resolution relating to these articles, and then let it quietly pass. The two former we believe to be especially for the benefit of the agriculturist. IRELAND. MAYO ELECTION-COLLISION BETWEEN THE MILI TARY AND THE POPULACE-SEVERAL KILLED A.ND WOUNDED. DUBLIN, MARCH s.—Most afflicting intelligence has reached town from Mayo, of a collision between the military and the peasantry on Tuesday last, in which some of the latter were killed and several wounded. The military, under the command of Mr. Cruise, a sti pendiary magistrate, were escorting some electors, on the estate of the Marquis of Sligo, from Westport to Castlebar, when the deplor able affray occurred. Subjoined are all the accounts that have as yet been received. In some it is stated that the collision took place within a mile of Castlebar ; but there is one letter which states, and we believe correctly, that it occurred seven miles from Castlebar, and within one mile el Westport. The Galway Vindicator gives the following version from a corre spondent:— " NOLAN'S HOTEL, GALWAY, WEDNESDAY, HALF-PAST 11 A.M.—I have just come from Castlebar—M`Donnell 36 a-head—it was thought Moore would give up last night. At eleven o'clock yester day morning a party of the Sth Hussars were escorting a number of freeholders of 3loore's to the hustings, when at a mile from Castle bar, a number of the peasantry, from behind a wall, pelted them with stones, for the purpose of rescuing the freeholders. Mr. Cruise, the stipendiary magistrate, ordered the military to fire, when a woman, hay ing a family of five children, a fine young man, thirty years of age, and another man, were shot dead, and three mortally wounded. The greatest excitement prevails." . - - - The Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon contains the following : "Letters have been received in town from Castlebar. dated yes terday morning, which contain some particulars of the lamentable affray. One account states that the Riot-Act had been read by Mr. Cruise, the stipendiary magistrate, but that the populace did not dis perse, and, it is asserted, stones were thrown, after which the mili tary were ordered to fire. It is stated in one letter that two persons were killed, and three mortally wounded; in another, that seven were killed. All the accounts agree that Mr. M'Donnell, the repeal candidate, was at the head of the poll on Tuesday evening —the ma jority being variously reported at 36 and 26. In consequence of the great excitement, it was difficult to obtain any accurate retuni of the polling. We subjoin one letter:— _ _ "Castlebar, Wednesday Morning, " ' A party of electors, tenants of tie Marquis of Sligo, escorted by military, under the command of D. J. Cruise, Esq., R.M., were attacked within a mile et" Westport by a great number of the pea sants, Mr. Cruise read the Riot Act, which had not the effect of dispersing them. Stones continued to be thrown. The military tired, killing three, and wounding seven, some of them, it IS feared, mortally. " Dublin Evening Post.Oftles, Three o'clock. " We have just received the following communication:— " Castlebar, Wednesday, One o'Clock, P.M. " The state of the poll yesterday evening was as follows : M'Donnell 18$ Moore Majprity for M'Donnell - - - —23 " ` Three persons were killed on the spot yesterday ; but the Iv. ports arc most conflicting as to the number wounded. It is asserted that thirty or forty have been wounded, some mortally. " ' 3 be town is in a state of awful excitement.' " THE COUNTY LIMERICK. The Limerick Chronicle of yesterday gives some additional particu lars relative to the firing at Sir David Roche. Sir David was in his carriage, accompanied by Mr. James Lyons, D.L., and another of the grand jury, when the shots were fired at him. The balls missed their object, and Sir David drove in safety to Patrick's Well, whero the outrage was reported. The police went in search of the assas sins, but found no trace of them. Sir David Roche was the popular Member for Limerick, and is a repealer. On Monday night, John Westley, steward to George Fosbury, Esq.. was walking the avenue of Curragh-bridge, when a party of ten ruffians tired a shot at him, after which they apologised, and said, that it was intended for his young master, whom they thought they would have met near the gate. The shot passed close to his head. but the poor man gladly admitted their excuse. Several other Rockite doings, all of the most daring and flagitious character, are reported, The following letter from Mr. Arabin, having reference to the ase fnl offence with which he has been charged, was read at a meeting of the corporation held yesterday:— " TO TILE RIGHT ZION.

Last evening an adaptation from Beethoven's Mount of Olives. entitled Engedi, and Mendelssohn's cantata, Hymn of Praise, wa s per formed by the above Society. The principal vocal parts were sus tained by Miss Birch, Miss Dolby, Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. Phillips, as sisted by a powerful and efficient chorus. Tne Mount of Olives (from which Engedi has been adapted) was the 85th work of Beethoven's, and was composed in 1800. The first per formance took placein 1803, hut it does not appear to have been known in England till 1814, when selections from it were performed at the Philharmonic Concerts, and at Drury-lane Theatre, January 30, 1815 ; it was subsequently performed entire at Liverpool in 1823, and is beyond doubt one of Beethoven's greatest compositions. Engedi, selected for the first part of last night's performance, is the adaptation of the music to a version relative to the persecution of David by Saul, and was admirably performed. After which followed the Hymn of Praia (Lebgesang), a Inn phonia cantata of Mendelssohn's. The " Lobgesang" was written for a festival in honour of Gutemberg, the inventor of printing, and was performed at Leipsic for the first time on the 24th of June, 1840, and in England, at the Birmingham Musical Festival, in September. 1840. This hymn cannot be said to belong toany distinct class of com position ; it has neither the dramatic quality of an oratorio, nor the exclusively vocal character of a cantata ; it is properly designated a symphonia cantata. Mendelssohn terms it a symphony for the orchestra and voices ; it is throughout a grand and elaborate work. We noticed the duet in E flat, " I waited for the Lord," by Miss Bireh and Miss Dolby, as exceedingly beautiful, the effect being greatly augmented by the pianissimo of the chorus ; also the tenor solo by Mr. Hobbs, " The Sorrows of Death," full of plaintive ex pression. The chorale, " Let all Men praise the Lord," and the chorus, " The Night is Departing," were admirably given. The con cluding chorus, "Ye Nations offer to the Lord," from its fugue character and powerful effeet, gave universal satisfaction.

George Hart, 22, was indicted for having feloniously cut and wounded John Fuller, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. On other counts the prisoner was charged with the intent to rob the prosecutor. Mr. Ryland conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the prosecutor was a farmer in the neighbearhood of Chelmsford, and on Friday, the 16th January, he had been to the market at that place, and was returning home between six and seven o'clock in the evening, being at the time what is called market fresh, or a little the worse for the good liquor he had imbibed. It was a very dark night, and when he had got about a mile out of the tow n h e h e a r d the footsteps of a man a little behind him. He walked on, the man still keeping close to him, and when they got near a cottage by the roadside the man left him. He proceeded on his journey, and when he had got on the road about half a mile farther, he suddenly received a violent blow by a stick or bludgeon, which felled him to the ground. A man instantly fell upon him and seized him, and at the same instant he received several severe cuts upon the head, and upon raising his arm to protect himself, he received a cut across his wrist. The struggle continued for some time, and at length the man who had attacked the prosecutor, apparently alarmed at the approach of some one, jumped up and ran away. The prosecutor was found in a dreadful state, covered with blood, and almost exhausted, and upon inquiries being made of him he was unable to give more than a very slight account of his assailant ; and the only additional circumstance likely to give any assistance in the discovery of the perpetrator of the outrage, was the finding of the peak of a cap, .ateele as is worn by la bouring men, near, the place where the struggle took place. Upon those slight materials, however, owing to the activity and zeal displayed by the constabulary sta tioned at Chelmsford, and the care taken in the investi gation of the matter by the magistrates, the charge was clearly brought home to the prisoner. The.evidenee was entirely of a circumstantial character, and consisted of minute facts, all tending to show the guilt of the accused. It was proved that on the night in question, and about the time the offence was committed, he was seen going in the same direction as the prosecutor • that he arrived at his own lodging shortly after the of fence had been committed ; that the peak of the cap which was found belonged to the cap the prisoner had been in the habit of wearing ; that he had purchased a new cap immediately afterwards, and told the officer that he had fell asleep before the fire, and that it had dropped off and was burned; and, be sides this, it was proved that when the_ prisoner was taken into custody he was dressed in entirely new clothes, and the clothes which, according to the testi mony of the witnesses, he had worn on the night of the attack upon the prosecutor were found in the house very bloody. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence. said that he could not say any more than that he was at home at the time. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, said he thought that all the parties concerned in the adminis tration of justice in this county, not only in this parti cular case, but in several others that had come before him during the assises, deserved very great credit, for the very careful and searching manner in which all the cases appeared to have been investigated, and the pains that had beeil taken to produce all the ne cessary facts in evidence. It was highly important to society that, where great crimes were committed, the perpetrators of them should be brought to justice, and this could only be done in many cases by a most careful inquiry—by looking at attentively, and considering circumstances, which at first might appear trivial, but which eventually might. when combined with other facts, make out a chain of circumstances entirely incom patible with the innocence of the party accused of the crime, and which must always be considered as the most satisfactory evidence that could possibly be adduced in support of a charge. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty. Evidence was then adduced to show, that on two pre vious occasions the prisoner had been convicted of hOusebreaking. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, on passing sentence, told the prisoner that he had been convicted of a most henious offence, and he might think himself very fortunate that be was not standing at the bar to answer a charge of murder, for if he were, there was very little doubt that he must have been convicted, and his lfe, un doubtedly have been forfeited. Taking into considera tion the character of the offence, and the circumstances under which it had been committed, he felt that the duty he owed to the public, and the necessity, by a se vere example, to dett r others from the commission of the like offence, left him no alternative but to pass upon him the full sentence of the law, which was that he be sentenced beyond the seas for the term of his natural /II 11. James Harding, 257 7 .1 - an - -offy;23 - , Yerr 2l : l gaYne"; 25, soldiers belonging to the 93th regiment of foot, were indicted for a felonious assault upon Elizabeth Aldred. It appeared from the evidence, that the offence with which the prisoners were charged was committed under most aggravated circumstances. So far as they will admit of being described, it may be stated that is the beginning of last August, the prosecutrix, accompanied by her husband, was going across a field in the direction from Tilbury Fort to West Tilbury, where they met the prisoners, all of whom were Irishmen, and one of them inquired bow far it was to the fort. They were told that it was about a mile off, and immediately afterwards they came up to the prosecutor and her husband, and one of them said that she was not his lawful wife, and they would have her with them, and at the same moment the husband was struck to the ground by a tremendous blow of a bludgeon. The men then seized the unfortu nate woman, and all three of them perpetrated the of fence, her husband lying by a portion of the time, bleed ing and insensible ; but it would appear that he got up at one period of the transaction and attempted to go to the assistance of his wife, when he was again knocked down in the most brutal manner. The prisoners alter nately dragged the woman, away, telling her that her husband was dead, and that they would murder her, and then there would be no witnesses against them. The husband, as soon as the prisoners were gone, contrived to crawl to the villiage, where he obtained assistance, and the prisoners were apprhended shortly afterwards. The jury found the prisoners Guilty. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, having made some appro priate observations upon the enormity of their offence, sentenced them to be transported fur life. When sentence was delivered, the prisoners, as is cos handcuffed, and the moment this was done theto m aprryi,s prisoner re Larding threw his cap into the jury -box, and at the same time said, " There, you take that; you'll know the want of soldiers before long." He then struck his handcuffs violently against the iron spikes surrounding the dock, evidently with the intention of breaking them, when he was overpowered by the officers in attendance, and removed from the dock. He was shortly afterwards taken away in the van to the gaol, and as he was getting into the vehicle, he threw his cap, which had been restored to him, among the crowd, and called out, " Good bye to Old England, I shall not see you any more' WESTERN CIRCUIT.-- Winchester, March G. THE LATE FATAL DUEL AT GOSPORT. It being pretty generally understood that Mr. Pym would surrender to take his trial to-day, as one of the seconds in the duel between Lieutenant Hawkey and Mr. Seton, a very large number of persons assembled in front of the court. At nine o'clock Mr. Justice Erie took his seat, and shortly afterwards a person of respectable appearance came to the front of the bar. The Clerk of the Arraigns to the governor of the gaol— Mr. Barber, who have you there ? Mr. Barber—Mr. Pym, sir. The Clerk of the Arraigns—Charles Lawes Pym, you are indicted for the wilful marder of James Alexander Seton, at Titchfield, on the 20th of May last, and the indictment states that Henry Charles Morehead Hawkey feloniously, wilfully, and of his malice aforethought, discharged a pistol loaded with gunpowder and ball, inflicting a wound of which the said James Alexander Seton languished and died, and you, Edward Lawes Pym, are indicted for being present and aid ing,are you guilty or not guilty? abetting, and assisting the said Henry Charles Morehead Hawkey in the committing of the said murder.

It was hot his duty, and it was as little his inclination, to exaggerate the facts or overstate any part of the case; but the demands of public justice, the memory of the deceased, the solicitude of his friends and relatives, required that the facts should be fairly, fully, and unshrinkingly brought befUre them, The trstnsac tion out of which the ndlctmeat arose took place so far back as the 20th of May last year, and the prosecution came before them at so late a period in conseqUetlee of the acetified patties not being within the hands of justice.

The firildriei was charged simply with the offence, that o n th e even i ng of the 20th of May he went out with a brother officer, Lieutenant Hawkey, of the Marines, as second in a duel, in which the deceased, Mr. Seton, the principal on the other aide, fell, on Brown Down, leading to Alverstoke and Titchfield, three or four miles from Gosport.

The appearance of the animals after death offer no symptoms of inflammation : the only part affected is the lungs, which appear tender and ready to fall in pieces. Mr. Fisher, of Rowthorne, has lost nineteen hogs out of a flock of sixty ; and several other farmers have lost eight or ten.

Finding that Mr. Sherwood would not lend him pistols, he proceeded to Mr. Flake's, and purchased a new pair of pistols; and Lieutenant Hawkey returned to Sherwood's gallery, not then alone, but in company with a person whom, he believed, the witnesses would state was the prisoner at the bar. Lieutenant Hawkey practised there, firing four or live shots. This brought the transaction down to about two or three o'clock on Tuesday, the 20th. He should show, from the evidence of Bearman, the servant of Lieutenant Hawkey, and Marsh, the servant of Mr. Pym, that they crossed the water with their masters. Lieutenant Hawkey gave to Marsh a case in paper, and they proceeded up the Stoke-road towards Alverstoke, to the pre ventive station; they passed the station, and the prisoner directed Marsh to go to the beach, and wait there till he was called for; he accordingly went down to that scot, leaving his master with Lieutenant Hawkey, and they proceeded out of his sight. After a short time his master came running to wards him, and, when about 100 yards off, beckoned to him. He proceeded to the spot, and found three persons besides his master; one of them was lying on the ground, bleeding from a wound in the lower part of his body. The deceased, having lost a great quantity of blood, was taken to the Quebec Hotel. There was a lane running off from Brown Down towards the Fountain Hotel, and about half-past seven o'clock on the 20th two gentlemen came in there in a hur ried way, one of them carrying a square mahogany case, of the size and description of a pistol-case, and the prisoner, it would be shorn, was the person who brought the case. The next day, Marsh, the servant of the prisoner, took away that case, which the landlord of the hotel was satisfied was a pistol-case, and Marsh would prove that he carried it to Lieutenant Hawkey's rooms. He should show that, within 20 minutes after they were:at the:Fountain Hotel, Lieutenant Hawkey and the prisoner at the bar proceeded to Mr. Ellis, the master of the Dream yacht, whose house was a quarter of a mile from the hotel, on the Gosport side of the water. Both these persons, in the presence of each other, made statements to Mr. Ellis, and if these statements were legal evidence, they would leave no doubt that the prisoner and Lieutenant Hawkey were concerned In the duel fuuslite that day on Brown Down. Mr. Ellis would state that they came to him again next morning, and he had never seen them since. The commander of the regiment would prove that on the morning of the 21st Lieutenant Hawkey and the pri soner were absent from the regiment, and that, up to this time, they had never been heard of. To return to Mr. Seton. He had been left with the medical man at the Quebec Hotel. Every possible care, was taken of him, and up to the 27th he was going on favourably, and it was then thought that there was a chance of his recovering ; still, he was in a state of great danger from the nature of the wound. The pistol ball had entered his right hip, and, meeting with some obstruction in passing along the hip, crossed the belly and came out at the left groin. The deceased was brought on board the yacht, when his case seemed almost hopeless. The medical men watched with the greatest anxiety the progress of the wound, but its nature was such that it took time before the obstruction occasioned by the coagulated blood could slough off, and there was danger of aneurism form ing. The passage of the ball to the lower part of the belly could be traced, and on the 21st a tumour had formed in the right groin, the pulsation being distinctly felt. The medical attendants, Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Mortimer, and Dr. Stewart, of Portsmouth, watched it with great attention. On the 29th the tumour had become on the increase; they considered the danger of the patient imminent, and that his case required the greatest skill and boldness. In conse quence of this, they' ent for the best advice from London, and Mr. Liston came down on the 30th to be present at a con sultation with the other medical attendants as to what ought to be done. They gave the subject the fullest considera tion, and were satisfied, as they felt the tumour and pulsa tion, that, without an operation, the life of the deceased could not be preserved, and nothing but that necessity would have induced Mr. Liston, and the other medical gentlemen to perform an operation. That the operation was performed with the greatest possible skill no one could doubt; for $s an operating surgeon, no man in the kingdom could compete with Mr. Liston. The law upon the subject was this : if a party inflicted a wound upon another, and in consequence of it an operation became necessary, and the party died under the operation, there could be no doubt that the party who inflicted the wound would be answerable for the death which followed. If, therefore, the jury were satisfied that an operation was necessary, there was no doubt that the party who inflicted the wound was answerable for the death of the deceased. The operation being determined upon on the evening of the 30th, on the 31st it was performed ; there was scarcely any loss of blood, and the patient lived after the operation for 60 hours. On the Sunday great fears were en tertained for the life of the deceased ; next day it was evi dent that his dissolution was fast approaching, and on Mon day, the 2d of June, the deceased expired from inflamma tion, which had extended over the whole peritoneal coat of the stomach. The jury would find from the evidence of the medical witnesses, that this result had never followed in other cases. The question was, whether the operation was not absolutely necessary, looking at the state in which the deceased was at the time of the operation. It was well known that the law of this country was, that if persons went out deliberately to fight a duel, and one fell, the seconds as well as the principals were guilty of murder. There was one topic which he should not touch upon—namely, the statements madeby the deceased at the time he was lying The Learned Judge would decide whether those statements were admissible as evidence or not. Taking the facts from the witnesses and the law from his Lordship, he was satis fied that they would do their duty to the prisoner and to the public. Several witnesses were then examined, whose evidence amounted to what was already taken at the Coroner's inquest some nine months back. Led at six o'clock ; and the Pym PRICE SD. METROPOLITAN ASSOCIATION. FOR IMPROVING THE DWELLINGS OF THE INDUSTRIOUS CLASSES. The first public meeting of this Association was held, in pursuance of the 47th clause of its charter, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street,at two o'clock yesterday. Among those present were Sir Robert Grosvenor, Lord Morpeth, Lord Claud Hamilton, Lord Ebrington, Lord Francis Eger ton, Lady F. Egerton, Sir Ralph Howard, Rev. Sir H. Duken field, Wm. Booth, Esq., Hon. Wm. Cowper, M.P., and other gentlemen. Si: Ralph HOWARD took took the chair, and called on The SECRETARY, who read the report, which, considering the time the association has been in existence, could not be expected to set out much more than the general objects of the founders. It was only in October last year that the association received a charter, in consequence of the approbation bestowed by Sir Robert Peel and Lord Lincoln on its objects, which are, first of all, to provide good, com fortable, well-ventilated and drained dwellings for the indus trious classes. But, in doing so, the promoters disclaim any intention of making the Institution a charity on the one I hand, or on the other, of "setting on foot a money-getting speculation." It is intended that those who invest shall have five per cent. return for their money, and a capital of 25,0001., according to the charter, must be raised, and ten per cent. paid before beginning to build. Sir RALPH HoWARD, at the conclusion of the report, said it became his duty, as chairman, to set) before the meeting the objects of the Association, and he felt great honour in occupying the chair on that occasion, for he thought the association whose interests they were met to promote was a noble institution. For money could not be better expended than in providing dwellings better than they at present have for the labouring classes. Those who knew these classes in timately knew well that they did not receive an amount of comfort and advantages at all equal to the worth of their money. The builders far the wealthier classes knew this, but believed at the same time that it could not be remedied. That which others left undone in that matter it became the duty of that association to accomplish, for they had the power, and they could effect it, after paying all expenses, with less profit than was proposed. But for those who would invest their money a sum of interest had been proposed, which would amply remunerate them. He said they had guarded themselves against allowing the institution to be considered as a charity, fur if preponderance were to be given to one feature of it over another, they would rather that it should be considered as a mercantile investment association, especially as there was the more probability of greater num bers joining them under that notion. At the same time their main effort was to be made in improving the dwellings of the labouring men by means of drainage, ventilation, and those other advantages which contributed to comfort, and that effort was to be put forth under the best scientific super intendence and skill. He concluded by moving that the re port should be adopted and confirmed. Lord Moaricrm said he had been requested to second the motion, and he availed himself with great pleasure of that request. He was aware that those who were met on that occasion were all shareholders, and that they could hardly be supposed to require incitement as to the purposes for which the institution had been set on foot, and which indeed they had sanctioned by taking shares in the association. The same reason had limited the company, and he did not think it expected of him therefore, to occupy their time by making any formal address. But, as that was the first occasion they had had of making the asso ciation public, and as he saw three or four gen tlemen before him who had the means of making their object known, which lee trusted they would not withhold, he would, therefore, make a few observations. They had embarked in that concern because they wished a real and a practical good.—(Hear, hear.) At the same time they were not is a position to plume themselves; they could not boast themselves as better than their neighbours. For though they thought their object laudable, as it was, yet they looked for remuneration for what they did; whatever money they might lay out they had stipulated for a return on that of five per cent. Railway speculations had been the rage of the day for some time past ; but he questioned much whether any railway returned greater remuneration than that— five per cent. ; he questioned whether any railway, however prosperous and however well situated, connecting large towns in its progress, could compete with the benevolence of their object in reference to those whom it was most intended to serve. For those who were to benefit by railways, those who could afford to be passengers on them, were in easy cir cumstances; but those whom they had joined to assist were exposed to the most wretched circumstances, to noisome discomfort, bringing on disease, and not unfrequently ending in premature death; but all this they had the means of alleviating, and five per cent. for their money besides. It was no phantom they had taken up, nor was it a romantic fancy ; it was not the issue of a merely chivalric feeling. They were not to imagine that it was a money-getting speculation ; he believed it was as free from that as from being a romantic speculation at creating a charity which had not the means of maintaining its own existence. It had been calculated that the schema they had begun would return eight, nine, and even ten per cent., but they thought proper to limit themselves to ve per cent., and to give whatever more might accrue over to the same object. They guarded, on the one hand, against framing a money-getting speculation, fcr they would thus have frustrated their intentions towards the classes whom they sought especially to benefit, and on the other hand, for the sake of setting the example to others who might be induced to follow them, they had guarded against aiming at their object without getting a return for their money. They were against having this understood to be what is usually called charity. He (Lord Morpeth) did not un derrate charity, for so long as there were such occasions for its exercise, there would always be a fitness and a moral beauty in its application. At the same time it was their object to put the labouring population in such circum might entahl• to help themselves and main tain their independence. It was not their intention or wish to injure the builder, they only wished to hold out an example which he would do well to follow, and would follow with safety by putting up such buildings as the working man re quires, and has a right to demand. When therefore he had cleared their way of all imputation of intention to undersell the builder, cleared their way of all risk and all loss, and had secured a return for their capital, he thought he might appeal to those in the meeting, and to those out of it—to the moneyed men out of doors— whether a great good might not thus be done—what an im mense mass of bloated evil might thus be entirely swept away.—(Hear, hear.) If they examined the reports laid before the Commons' Committees, by the Health of Towns Commission, or, better still, if they had allowed their eyes to rest on the reality, if they had allowed their feet to wander into the haunts and back purlieus of the metropolis—if they followed blighted manhood, decrepid old age, and stunted in fancy into their reeking haunts, the abode of filth and fever—if they would then go over to those in widely different circumstances, whose means enabled them to surround themselves with cleanliness and with comfort, with those advantages, in fact, which, as an association, they could offer to the others, they would not long hesitate be tween an act of benevolence, with profit to themselves, and laying up their talent in a napkin. He might quote them the saying of the Emperor, that he found his capital built of brick, and left it in marble, and they might outrival him by transferring the worthy and the industrious from garrets and from cellars to abodes conducing to their comfort and their health and their iHpral and intellectual well-being. His Lordship seconded the motion. Lord EBRINGTON moved, and Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH se conded, the adoption of the bye-laws which had been read by the Secretary. Lord F. EGERTON, in moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman and the directors, said he could not do so without expressing his entire approbation of the association. He said they were proceeding in various parts of the metropolis in widening the streets and making great improvements, but these advanced with a crowd of attending evils, which proceeded pari passu, like slaves in a Roman triumph, us though they could not do good without producing much evil. He had seen by Mr. Chadwick's pamphlet that the intro duction of the central terminus into the metropolis was cal culated to displace 50,000 inhabitants, and all those of the poorer classes. He did not believe that more instructive volumes could be found from end to end of the shelves of the library of the House of Commons than the five or six ri volumes of of reports alluded' to. He had consulted if volumes published by Mr. Chadwick , and =full not but heartily concur in the object which had brought them together. Mr. COOPER seconded the motion, which was carried una nimously. Lord •CrAnnil ITAiurr-rox acknowledged, on the part of the director., their sense of the honour the meeting bad done them, and their continued attachment to the object of the association. Mr. Slayney, Mr. Finlaison, and Mr. Soynbee severally addressed the meeting, which then separated. NORTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE ELECTION. (Film A CORRESPONDENT.) FINAL STATE OF THE POLL.

Mr.,Waddington and Mr. Macauler conducted the ease for the prosecution. Mr. Humfrey, 'Q.C., ,and Mr. Miller appeared for the prisoner. This case engaged the attention of the Court and the jury for upwards of six hours ; the facts may, however, be :com pressed into a small space. The prisoner occupied a house in Gas-street, Kettering, where he carried on the business of a printer and stationer. He was unmarried, but had a sister living with him, though she was absent at the time of the fire. On the morning of Christmas-day the prisoner's house was discovered to be on fire. The flames were first issuing from the back door, but they soon, however, extended, and the whole of the interior with the exception of a :front parlour, was in less than an hour. destroyed. Wallis stated that the fire arose from an explosion of gas, which ignited on his coming into the shop with a lighted candle. The fact of this part of his the house being the part that was not in the first instance affected, caused further inquiries to be made, and among the rest search was made for the remains of furniture and of the stock, but nothing was found, with the exception of the furniture in the front parlour. The insurance for furniture was to the extent of 100/. It appeared further ;that Wallis:had taken a cottage at the distance of about 200 yards from the place where he carried on his business, in which cottage stock-in trade, &c. was found to the estimated value of 2301., and it was urged that these things were removed clandestinely, and, for the purposes of fraud. A warrant was soon after obtained for the prisoner's apprehension, but he left the place, though he returned on the 7th of January, and surrendered. Tile magistrates bound the parties over to prosecute, and ad mitted Wallis to bail. An inquest was held to ascertain the origin of the fire ; and the jury pronounced it to have been wilful. It would appear that Wallis, up to the time of the fire, had always been considered an honourable and upright young man. The CHIEF JUSTICE, in his summing up, told the jury to beware how they acted on suspicion only ; that they were not to do ; they must see clearly an intention to defraud the office. The general charge Of his Lordship was directly in favour of the accused. The jury, after considerable time spent in deliberation, re turned a verdict of Not Guilty. NORTHERN ClRCUl7'.—Durham, March 5. (Before Mr. Justice PArrESON.) Joseph Dixon, aged 2.5, and William Dixon, his brother, aged 21, and Robert Barron, aged 22, were indicted for the wilful nitirder of George Middleton, of Pithill, near Chester le-street, in this county. This was the result of a public-house affair, in which the deceased was struck on the head with a poker, which was bent by the force of the bit;74', and inflicted such injuries that Middleton died of the wounds. Verdict-Guilty of manslaughter. His LORDSHIP directed the prisoners to StaZ'd down, saying he would consider of the sentence. The notoriously, great increase of late in the business of the Bank of England, arising from the advance in the rate of in terest, the use of the railway deposits, and other causes, appears to have created an expectation in the proprietors of Bank stock, that at the approaching meeting for the declaration of a dividend they will find themselves in a better position than on the last occasion of the kind. Letters hare been received from Varl9us correspondents on the subject, and they so entirely assume the laZ.l of a great increase of profit as cettaim that the only question remaLling in their minds is whetly:r it shall reach the proprietors Z.' the shape of a bonus or a higher dividend. It is well known that the fund out of which the dividend is paid is the " rest," Which fialths a regular part of each weekly return under the Act or 1844, roritierly the practice was at the half-yearly meeting to male an estimate of its probable increase between the de claration And the payment of the dividend, and to take credit for such atinitint i hilt the rine now adopted is, we believe, so far as re gards uncertain profit, to take the teat fettirn of the month previous to the deelaration of a dividend at the basis of profit, adding of course the certain profits to accrue from the dead weight and of oth the er diVidettd6 able by the Gove rn ment up to the expiration financial half.yeaf. this alone is some evidence of a Sound state of straits. That parties so directly interested as the prtiprietots ate should be thus sanguine be Is very natural, but front inquiries in other (Pouters it app eats to thought very dOubt ful if either of these eXptetAtlang—that isi of a bonus, or increased dividend—will be realised. The neW systefff iiit§ undergone as yet but a short trial and the recent great profits, so far AS they Wise from the railway deposits, are so decidedly of a temporary nature, that no eaN eetieitiSibti for the future course of business is to be drawn from theta. the tiftiptiftioti in which the directors have extended their wart and dtscotint unsint§§ i4itl4f the rill of bad debts 'be taken into ficediint lilt; itiprsirig eVerytitiog to go Ott favourably, the directors would be Mere flat peiliallB with theft Cfitiatittlenta if they de voted their efforts to strengthening their ,position so as to lead hereafter to a permanent increase Of the dividend to 8 rl:rt tent., than by giving a small bonus , And then to relapse ld iltti e d fate. Equality of dividend is very mach to be desired, as it prevents oiketriokyil fn the stock, and gives to it Some thing of the character of a Governtlidtft ieurity. The present board of directors possess a character for prudence and Sagacity beyond Scant of their predecessors, which they are not likely to place at WWII(' by doing this half-year what they must undo the next ; and 10 offer , either a bonus or an increase of dividend at present would ixfoh theili tO that danger. Hence the proprietors will do well to tandtfate their eltOtirititnis:Of immediate benefit, without abandon ing, at the same time, the Hope HIM the directors at some future period may be able to place them permanently in a better position. Considering to how low a point banking profits have been reduced ' until within the last three months, it is a species of congratulation to know that they are in no danger of a reduction of dividend, and, if any change does occur, that it must be for the better.—Times.
